🔦 Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. 🔦

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

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

In the late 90s I ditched redhats crappy package system and used slackware until I got better internet than dialup, after that I switched to Debian based. But slackware still has a star in my book!

I miss playing with Slack. It was the first distro I ever got Steam running.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No pun intended

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

Lmao I feel personally attacked

What a vucking great social network this Lemmy is.

I clicked "subscribe" to your community or whatever the vuck it's called and for two weeks I've been looking at "Pending". Is this such a vucking fediverse achievement that I don't understand?

Now for the topic at hand. If you have to choose between Arch and Manjaro, you have to choose Arch. 100% none of you will need to thoroughly partition your hard drive, because none of you will bother moving /home to another partition on the drive. And the main difficulty will be setting up the wifi, solved by reading the man pages. Unfortunately they are without pictures, so you will have to work hard.

Manjaro has compromised itself so many times that I don't understand people who use it.

Although no, I do understand you, my little friends. Manjaro has a graphic installer.

Damn, subscribing might've not worked but 52 people made sure that the downvote button did

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Disgusting...

Subtle way to call manjaro users gay
