Well, bought and paid for, may as well use em! Just because the .ml and hexbear folk are near clownish in their frothing evangelism, doesn’t mean they’re wrong about everything…
I think vanilla Arch is daunting to get going because it drops you in with so little to start with. Once you’re past that I think it’s fine. Especially if you’re already used to Debian and Fedora. Sure, you’ll need to learn to use pacman (Arch’s package manager) and it is a little confusing at times, but there’s a ton of great advice for it online, including the Arch wiki.
I highly suggest EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch with a better install process. Once its done you’ll have a desktop environment and browser. I’m using CachyOS which is similar but has a little but more stuff, but it’s still Arch. Like you, I’m very confident with other Linux OSes but was wary of Arch. Turns out people have good solutions to get over that worst hurdle nowadays (the original install and getting a desktop environment).
Also, unlike other derivative distributions like Ubuntu to Debian and Manjaro to Arch, EndeavourOS really is just Arch. It’s just a nicer install process.
It’s not really difficult but as far as i remember, you have to configure everything yourself, which can be tiring. Depends on your mood though, if you’re into configuring your own linux system, then i guess Arch is perfect for you.
For Lemmy just replace racism with unsolicited Linux advice
What did Linux do to you?
He probably ran btrfs with raid 5
without backups
Rookie mistake
Fuckin’ noobs!

This is actually hilarious. It looks like the entire sub is just people posting anti-Linux memes and being downvoted to death
You must not be a Linux user. Linux users have no sense of humor.

I’d rather have the unsolicited linux advice tbh
but anyways that’s not super relevant because there very much is still racism on lemmy…
Yeah but I see a racist comment like once a week. You don’t have to spend long on Twitter to find that shit.
It usually takes about 8 seconds.
Do you even Arch?
I find Arch to be too much bloat.
I prefer something really lightweight that only runs notepat
Notepad is bloat. Vim is bloat. Use ed.
Bloat I only use Butterfly to manually flip electorn and stream output directly into my brain.
But of course, there is an Emacs command to do that.
Good ol’ C-x M-c M-butterfly!
No but I’d like to. I’d unironically join a supportive Linux noob community. One where we can also complain without fear of reprisals
This!
{btw}
And cartoonishly aggressive Marxist Leninism.
It almost feels like it’s meant to be slapstick humour.
What am I going to do with all of these ACME guillotines I imported from France, then?

I get what you are saying, but you should try Chimera Linux.
Bedrock Linux is pretty cool (I am not going to say ar*h btw)
Are the rumours about Arch being too hard true? If someone’s experienced with Debian and Fedora, will they find Arch too hard?
Ime, not really. It feels daunting the first time, but the installation guide on the wiki is actually really good at holding your hand through it.
Just be careful not to skip any sections
Plus now there’s an installation script that is really good for basic installs. Takes about 10 minutes now.

We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed at home.
Maybe we need a term for this. What do the gender focused Lemmy crowd think is a good term for not accepting windows.
Windophobic?
OSist
Microcis
Man I love Flatpaks.
