  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    At this point it should be obvious, btw

    [–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Obvious to whom exactly?

    [–] semperverus@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Hint: the answer lies within the last 3 letters of their post. And is probably a joke.

    [–] holdstrong@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    it may have been an obscure reference to the "btw I use Arch" meme

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

    I got the joke!

    Can someone explain to me like I'm a Windows user why Arch is so great? You know, over something like Ubuntu.

    [–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

    If you’re a “well acktchually” type of nerd who adores exceedingly granular control over things like choosing from twelve different versions of a driver via a command text box, then Arch is for you.

    I say this as a user of an Arch-based OS; EndeavourOS is probably the closest to user-friendly as Arch gets but it still requires some nitty-gritty. Don’t worry too much about which choices you pick during installation though since it doesn’t really matter as much as it pretends to.

    KDE Plasma is a desktop style close to that of windows that Arch usually defaults to, where Ubuntu’s typical desktop style is closer to Mac.

    That said, once you get past the pain in the ass hurdle of figuring out your big basics in the command line, installing packages (programs/apps) is pretty easy. You can also use something called Flatpak which is like an App Store and usually easier for installing stuff.

    This started out as a joke but turned into an essay. Thanks for bearing with me.

    Basically you understand your installation better when you're the one who assembled your installation.

    Distros like ubuntu ship with a bunch of preinstalled software. This means less setup for you to do but in the end you'll end up with some stuff you don't need or understand the purpose of.

    And ofc arch is the opposite. It ships with the bare minimum and then everything else is up to you to set up

    Enlighten me.

    Is it Zorin?

    [–] horrorslice@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

    Everyone loves to shit on Zorin but I like it. Fedora is way too slow with updates for me. Mint is nice, but Zorin feels more cohesive with its UX.
