I don't see what the problem is with Arch Linux and why it gets so much flak. I am not a Linux expert by any measure, but I use EndeavourOS and find it really use to use (don't ask me to install from scratch). Its extremely stable and I like the fact that it gets updated constantly.
The only other distro I really liked is MX Linux. My main gripe was that I don't want to reinstall every so many years. I want to set up an OS and just use it without worrying about it being a temporary thing. But maybe I'll change my mind in the future.
I'm not for or against any distro really, maybe except Ubuntu and its bloat. I just use what best suits me, which is the whole point of all the different distros.
Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name
Oracle Linux exists
I use Manjaro, btw.
Samesies
I had like 2 issues that took literal minutes to fix over the years I ran Manjaro, I know there were some silly misconfigurations years ago but I never paid much attention then the hate and it ran all my stuff just fine. 🤷♂️
Built a new rig a few weeks ago and decided to check out EndeavorOS, but would have stuck with that Manjaro install for a while if I hadn't.
if you want to know my problems with manjaro, see this discussion: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9214664
It's a super problematic distro made by an insanely incompetent team, I promise you have been lucky, i've given it to many people and spent years using it, it's garbage.
i think its just people taking the "i use arch btw" meme too seriously and thinking its bad to show or even use it all
I don't think this is an "Arch is bad" post, but rather a "Void is good post". I think the sticker is remove because it's not relevant to them anymore.
Look at the sub in which this is posted 😉. That was the joke 😉.
This is why people make fun of arch users
