    Why isn't Manjaro the one in the meme?

    [–] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I use manjaro and you said nothing but facts.

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I just quit Manjaro about two months ago and i agree.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I haven't tried Manjaro and I don't have an opinion

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

    I switched back to Manjaro today and I agree.

    Haha now I kinda feel like this is Endeavour. I'm really liking Endeavour! It feels like Arch but just a bit smoother of an approachability curve. Lovely community, too.

    I should mess with Void sometime. 🤔

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

    It's more like Arch than Endeavour though, just a heads up. Very little GUI things, especially the installer and all that. Well, the installed is TUI, so It's not that hard to be honest.

    [–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    As one of the dozens of Void Linux users, I too find this very offensive!

    (But hey, at least we're getting some attention, which is nice....)

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

    Oh, come on, I use Void too, it was just a play on Void 😁.

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

    fucking runit

    Who remembers Antergos

    [–] [email protected] 57 points 3 days ago (3 children)

    Frankly I'd much rather have void. Super cool distro, a lot of things about it seem like an ideal fit for me, I just don't really have the technical skill to get a minimal distro all set up the way I want it

    Plus their logo is pretty. Which shouldn't matter but like, look at it- it's a cool logo!

    I don't agree with it being a cheap version of arch, it works too good for that, it deserves more respect

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Nah, it's just play 😊.

    It's better than Arch if you ask me, I use it on all my rigs.

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

    Okay :) I've been using it for a few years now, have never looked back at arch or any other distribution 😄

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

    It's so freaking stable, it's boring 😂.

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

    Yeah well, playing around with the package manager, for example creating templates for newer version of apps, definitely keeps me engaged, when I find the time 😄

    I have enough void inside me already

    [–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    You're using the meme wrong. The "at home" needs to be worse than the "mom can we get?"

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

    I know, it was just play on Void 😊.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

    Rolling release and stable. And no systemd... not by choice though, they're not purists, you just can't build it for musl.

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

    Musl and stable is one worst word combinations there is. I still have nighmares from broken packages under alpine that worked just fine under normal distro. It took us like a week to find the problem. Bad times.

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

    Alpine is an advanced user distro. I'm sure there are workarounds for the broken stuff.

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

    It's not their official policy, but my personal philosophy with alpine goes like this:

    1. If it doesn't work with musl/busybox, find an alternative that does
    2. If I can't find an alternative, then I patch it myself
    3. If I don't have the time/skill to patch it myself, then I throw it into a container that has glibc/gnu coreutils
    [–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

    no systemd IIRC.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (4 children)

    Alpine is better. It's more minimal.

    the only thing void has over arch is more architecture support (which is kinda ironic)

    How dare you.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Was I supposed to be paying for arch this whole time?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

    Oh, you paid for it, don't worry.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    This meme was brought to you by an arch user desperately trying to justify the mental gymnastics of using systemd in their supposedly "keep it simple" distro

    EDIT: I joke of course. If arch/systemd works well for you, that's all that matters!

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

    It was just a pun, cuz Arch is popular, I use Void actually 😊.
