I use Arch... On my Steamdeck
- We're so elite!

Laughs in Endeavour

🔦 Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. 🔦
- Nah, that sounds like torture. Anybody willing to have that kind of setup shouldn't be messed with, they're clearly unstable.
  
  Yeah, I don't know why I'd run Arch containers on Ubuntu. I can already get the latest software via Snap and Docker. 🫰

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

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?
  
  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 miss playing with Slack. It was the first distro I ever got Steam running.

No pun intended

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

Subtle way to call manjaro users gay

I use Debian btw.
yep go ahead and neg this comment Arch people
- You could do a better attention seeking job than this

Lmao I feel personally attacked

What a vucking great social network this Lemmy is.
I clicked "subscribe" to your community or whatever the vuck it's called and for two weeks I've been looking at "Pending". Is this such a vucking fediverse achievement that I don't understand?
Now for the topic at hand. If you have to choose between Arch and Manjaro, you have to choose Arch. 100% none of you will need to thoroughly partition your hard drive, because none of you will bother moving /home to another partition on the drive. And the main difficulty will be setting up the wifi, solved by reading the man pages. Unfortunately they are without pictures, so you will have to work hard.
Manjaro has compromised itself so many times that I don't understand people who use it.
Although no, I do understand you, my little friends. Manjaro has a graphic installer.
- Damn, subscribing might've not worked but 52 people made sure that the downvote button did
- Its a known bug. Who knew reddit will fuck up? Give it some time, it'll be much better!
- This post was in lemmy.world which is extremely overloaded at the moment

RIP Antergos
- Long live EndeavourOS.

I never used Manjaro or Arch (I am a fedora user). Can someone please explain the joke?
- 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.
  
  I wonder why I keep getting the advice to use Arch, then? Everyone on the Linux forum questions me using fedora and says arch makes more sense and is easier.
- Manjaro is a fork of Arch with the aim to provide a good out-of-the-box experience.
  
  Disgusting...
