Would be funny if somebody forked it but with all results ending up in Arch linux.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

All roads eventually end up at Arch. And then some people get lost in the misty Nix Forest. Some never find their way out.

Nah, some of us land on Gentoo from the beginning, and then watch the Arch people act like teens who think they're edgy. 😜

Arch users think they're... "edgy"? Honestly, if I had the patience to wait for compilation when upgrading, I'd run Gentoo as well. Arch for me was the next best thing in terms of making the system "my own". I mostly feel in love with the packaging system of Arch and how easy it was to make my own packages. Great stuff.

Gentoo provides binary packages if you don't want to compile.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

That's cool. What does Gentoo do better than Arch in your opinion? Any category! 🙂

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 1 points 5 hours ago

I haven't used Arch in a long time, but from what I remember...

Arch and Gentoo are both rolling releases, but Gentoo is rolling stable while Arch is bleeding edge.

If you game, you can't beat being able to drop kernel patches in a folder and have them applied on every update. Works for all packages, not just the kernel.

GURU has a bit more oversight than the AUR, but not as many packages.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I'm thinking Arch is definitely for me, then:

  • I prefer bleeding edge. No delay, things haven't broken my system in a decade, seems like it's fine for personal use anyway.
  • I don't need any kernel patches as a heavy gamer, my system can run whatever you throw at it.
  • The AUR seems to have a far simpler and less convoluted process for contributing than GURU.

Still, I'm curious: what kernel patches do you feel the need to apply, as a gamer?

I swear there was already a version of that where every option leads to EndeavourOS

No Tumbleweed, don’t like it 😅 (Nice idea of course)

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 5 points 18 hours ago

Seems broken...

No, I will not cosider Debian for a "bleeding edge' 'gaming' setup.

[-] terabyterex@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

woohoo, It works. It recommended my favorite - Fedora Workstation (KDE Plasma)

[-] jcr@jlai.lu 1 points 14 hours ago

a little dull ...

[-] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 16 hours ago

What's the difference between all these? I just know distrochooser, and usually recommended it. If there's better alternatives, I'm all ears.

[-] omigibson@aggregatet.org 1 points 17 hours ago

I got Fedora workstation, which is what I use :)

[-] sedot@feddit.org 2 points 20 hours ago

I see Tumbleweed, i like it.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Look at this fucking mess. Who left all these glowing question marks around? And come on people, put your distro back when you’re done with it!

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 1 points 20 hours ago

Unsurprisingly Debian stable.

[-] WhiplashPost@programming.dev 2 points 16 hours ago

Not sure if blasphemous or enlightened but I run Debian stable with niri built from source lol. I moved over from Gnome recently and its actually pretty nice. It's like Debian Stable "The Remix"
