Laughs in Endeavour

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 40 points 1 year ago

I can honestly say that I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years...

Never again.

Now I run easy distros. Much less stress overall.

I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years

Why? ...How?

[-] LordTE7R1S@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

I've been running slackware as my main os since 94. I was never able to get really used to any other Linux distro and I saw them all. I run it in my home pc, in my work servers, my work notebook. Best distro ever.

I see you're into BDSM.

I use Arch... On my Steamdeck

[-] MomSpaghetti@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

We're so elite!

[-] vlad76@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

I got my merit badge after setting it up once. That's enough for me.

[-] Magusbear@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Did the same. I pretty much had to redo every single step, sometimes multiple times, because I did not fully understand what I was doing. But I had a running system in the end with everything working as far as I could tell.

Then I immediately formatted everything and installed Endeavor, because I just didn't trust myself not having done anything wrong.

It did help with understanding though. Some things aren't as scary anymore and I understand the arch wiki much better now.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Guys, why are you constantly making fun of arch. It really is a straightforward, stable and user friendly distro. The wiki is amazing and it’s very easy to find help even when you run into problems.

Oh, I use arch btw.

[-] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't really call it stable, more just stable enough

[-] vixven_random@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

In my 8 years of using Arch as daily driver, it has broken only couple of times for me, and usually I can find the fixes in the forums. Ubuntu on the other hand has lead to so much pain.

[-] eric5949@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The only time I've had arch break is when I either was new and didn't know what I was doing after not updating for months or I did something it told me probably wasn't going to work.

🔦 Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. 🔦

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Nah, that sounds like torture. Anybody willing to have that kind of setup shouldn't be messed with, they're clearly unstable.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I don't know why I'd run Arch containers on Ubuntu. I can already get the latest software via Snap and Docker. 🫰

Lmao I feel personally attacked

[-] Puzzlehead@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

No pun intended

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

No, I don't use 2 weeks late Arch. To me that just defeats the point.

I use Arch btw.

[-] FierroGamer@vlemmy.net 14 points 1 year ago

I feel attacked

[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Long live EndeavourOS.

[-] Clairvoidance@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

nah don't worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I never used Manjaro or Arch (I am a fedora user). Can someone please explain the joke?

[-] denast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Arch takes a lot of manual configuration to make it work, hence providing some bragging rights about using it. Manjaro is a fork that has your typical GUI user-frienly installer that does everything for you, therefore you "proudly using arch" has no substance as you did zero work.

Manjaro is a fork of Arch with the aim to provide a good out-of-the-box experience.

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago
[-] Mopswasser@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, what were they thinking?!

[-] TrontheTechie@infosec.pub 9 points 1 year ago

If arch Linux is supposed to be edgy and hard to use or install, Manjaro takes that edgy hard to use image and softens it up into a Ubuntu type distro that is based on arch but tends to run behind on updates by a little bit compared to arch.

Basically they nerd version of Linux stolen valor.

[-] radical@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
[-] clearleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Manjaro is based period

[-] emi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago

Manjaro Users: I could never be bothered to follow the steps for installing on the arch wiki.

Manjaro Users When Something Breaks: Gotta go check the arch wiki & forums.

[-] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[-] loffiz@vlemmy.net 8 points 1 year ago

I recommend Evdeavouros instead of Manjaro ;)

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago
