    Laughs in Endeavour

    [–] chaogomu@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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?

    [–] LordTE7R1S@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (2 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.

    I see you're into BDSM.

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

    [–] Magusbear@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Did the same. I pretty much had to redo every single step, sometimes multiple times, because I did not fully understand what I was doing. But I had a running system in the end with everything working as far as I could tell.

    Then I immediately formatted everything and installed Endeavor, because I just didn't trust myself not having done anything wrong.

    It did help with understanding though. Some things aren't as scary anymore and I understand the arch wiki much better now.

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] vixven_random@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] eric5949@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

    The only time I've had arch break is when I either was new and didn't know what I was doing after not updating for months or I did something it told me probably wasn't going to work.

    🔦 Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. 🔦

    [–] phorq@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

    [–] vixven_random@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    You are the monster we were warned as kids!

    Lmao I feel personally attacked

    [–] Puzzlehead@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

    No pun intended

    [–] FierroGamer@vlemmy.net 15 points 1 year ago

    I feel attacked

    [–] Belgdore@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Long live EndeavourOS.

    [–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

    No, I don't use 2 weeks late Arch. To me that just defeats the point.

    I use Arch btw.

    [–] Clairvoidance@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

    nah don't worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro

    [–] lawrence@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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

    [–] denast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (7 children)

    Arch takes a lot of manual configuration to make it work, hence providing some bragging rights about using it. Manjaro is a fork that has your typical GUI user-frienly installer that does everything for you, therefore you "proudly using arch" has no substance as you did zero work.

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

    [–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)
    [–] Mopswasser@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

    Yeah, what were they thinking?!

    [–] TrontheTechie@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

    If arch Linux is supposed to be edgy and hard to use or install, Manjaro takes that edgy hard to use image and softens it up into a Ubuntu type distro that is based on arch but tends to run behind on updates by a little bit compared to arch.

    Basically they nerd version of Linux stolen valor.

    [–] radical@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
    [–] clearleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    Manjaro is based period

    [–] emi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

    Manjaro Users: I could never be bothered to follow the steps for installing on the arch wiki.

    Manjaro Users When Something Breaks: Gotta go check the arch wiki & forums.

    [–] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

    I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

    [–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

    I use Arch btw........in a distrobox inside ubuntu.

    [–] loffiz@vlemmy.net 8 points 1 year ago

    I recommend Evdeavouros instead of Manjaro ;)

    [–] Sizably8826@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    [–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

    I use Arch, BTW, but also Gnome. So I am still lacking some nerd points.

    [–] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago
