Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

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.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 8 points 1 year ago

My favorite part of Arch is that my install from 5 years ago still works perfectly and I didn't have to do any major version upgrade that breaks everything.

Just had to reinstall arch 3 times yesterday, since the installation script fucked up the partitioning.

Reinstall nr1(manually, since the script didn't work): I forgot to add users and couldn't log into my machine Reinstall nr2(manually): my mirror lists was so fucked up that I couldn't install or update packages(there also were some missing databases) Reinstall nr3(script) : finally everything worked.

Don’t use the script. Ezpz problem solved

Agreed. I've been installing it manually since 2012, never had an issue I couldn't quickly fix. I attempted to use the installer about 6 months ago and couldn't get past the disk partitioning step because it wouldn't allow me to do the things I needed to do, then I think it crashed.

What's the point of installing Arch if you don't do it manually
