skill issue
>>107091976i dont understand this "arch just breaks" meme, it works perfectly on my machine. And that machine is not fully supported, but a few packages and configs fixes those problems
>>107092137jannies, make yourselves useful and clean up this retard's schizophrenic meltdown.
Anyone have the distrohopping meme where at the bottom it says something like welcome to familiar operating system etc and there is windows or mac there.
>>107092149>i dont understand this "arch just breaks" memeIt's an achy breaky OS. It just breaks.
>>107092149arch broke ONCE in the ~2 decades i used it (libc package broken for anything that used gettext() iirc). that itself was trivially fixable by rebooting into a live environment and installing a fixed package in a chroot using the outer working pacman from the live environment.any other reported breakage is a literal skill issue.
>>107092107>wordswordswordsI wonder which side of the political spectrum the creator of this image is on.
>>107092607>arch broke ONCE in the ~2 decades i used itOnly one update in 2 decades, eh? Do you run the 4chan server? lol
>>107092614But arch is used predominanty by left wing troons
>>107092107>X window*Laughs in Weyland* Skill issue. I use Arch, BTW.(Honestly, my only issue with Arch is how spartan it can be for Desktop. I get that's the "teh Arch Way™" but really, I have to install the auto-mount hard/solid-disk drive packages instead of it being part of the Desktop Environment(s) packages, really?)>>107092149It's a /g/ meme, same as the "K(DE)rashes" meme. It's outdated. There are a few times (the kernel name change in pacman so you had to manually edit [remove and then update, IIRC] the package) where it COULD break if you update without reading ArchLinux.org's news page, but that's on you for being an idiot and not just doing "patch Tuesdays" like sane folks do and waiting to see what breaks/reading BEFORE you update.
It doesn't break as often as people make it seem. It broke once in my 6 years of usage. Went to the forums and the wiki and found the fix.
>>107092607Yes, the skill issues of the Arch devs
install gentoo
>>107093621Can't my only computer (ThinkPad T400) is too slow. I threw all my other computers away even the newer faster ones.>Life sucks
>>107091976>>107092107I am running mirrors from other distros and my shit still never breaks, if your shit is breaking u need to RTFM or something idk.
>>107093371Prove it, shitjeet
It's only free if your time is worthless
>>107093711If you can't get arch set up ready to use in 30minutes you have sub 80 iq
>>107093711Dead meme>>107093720you new here?
>>107093720don't forget all the time wasted typing commands instead of dragging and dropping files, little stuff
>>107093733you can drag and drop files in arch moron.
>>107093776what's the point when you already have Windows
I use CachyOS, btw
I think I read something extremely retarded in a thread in a different but equally hated board.That you can turn Arch into CachyOS, but it's not possible to turn CachyOS into arch. And that Arch with CachyOS optimizations runs faster than Arch.Am I missing something?
>>107093960Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?That sounds preposterous to me.If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create 11, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

>>107094034Gee thanks for the fucking cancer jesus christ almighty
>>107091976I've been using arch for 4 months and haven't had a single issue with it. Not even a single crash(I use Gnome) let alone the system breaking.I was afraid of switching to Arch because of people like OP made it sound like my system would shit the bed on its own.
>>107094151There's a few reasons why it could break for some:1. Installing garbage from the AUR nobody knows about without checking2. Doing partial updates3. Pretending to use arch while using manjaro
>>107091976just run a btrfs filesystem and timeshiftif shit breaks just roll back>>107092107its not THAT time consuming, it just requires setup time. the whole point of arch is ricing your own setup which means time investment upfront but you can have x5 times the speed after its set up. if you dont like that just get a prericed arch, omarchy is legitimately very good
>>107092107fpbp/thread
>>107091976Just install CachyOS and be done with it.
>>10709415199% of the time Arch breaks it's user error, and I'm being generous and not counting the failure to follow "Manual intervention required" as user error.
>>107092107Truth Nvke
>>107094315Why not an immutable distro like bazzite?
>>107094151op is a wintard who thinksupdate = breakagesotoo many updates = too many breakagesit's not any deeper than that. people just underestimate how tech illiterate the average /g/eet is, this includes the average /g/eets themselves.it is often the blind conversing with the blind, with each side thinking the other has the eyesight of an eagle.
>>107094209>just run a btrfs filesystem and timeshiftThis is mostly the best solution for breaking on linux. I'd say even better than relying on using some immutable distro. However if something breaks because of anything user related you're kinda fucked. You have to figure out what to delete or replace in your home folder. In a situation where, for instance, you decided to first try GNOME, then KDE, KDE decides to plant shitstains all over /home and change any settings related to gtk as well. You're not reverting that back through rolling back unless you are a madman and you take snapshots of your /home subvolume. "Just delete everything" isn't ideal either, some shit doesn't just regenerate.
>>107094605I'm not a big gamer but afaik Cachy has better performance than Bazzite due to kernel optimizations. In my opinion, it's just a matter of which you prefer, Arch or Fedora.We're talking about Arch here so...
>>107094606I think there's a big misconception about how frequently should someone update their system on arch. Basically you can, and you -will- see updates available multiple times a day even if you don't have a big selection of packages installed, but that doesn't mean you can't just fucking do it once a week like a normal person.Also that people don't know that yes, you can set up arch and derivatives to use "offline" upgrades in the same fashion some distros like Fedora do by following certain defaults. If you don't want to install those updates while you're using the system, you don't need to.
>>107094647i'm well aware. i just don't get into details, because it would be wasted on retards.% tail -1 /var/log/pacman.log[2025-10-23T20:59:26+0100] [ALPM] running '30-systemd-update.hook'...
% tail -1 /var/log/pacman.log[2025-10-23T20:59:26+0100] [ALPM] running '30-systemd-update.hook'...
>>107092107Literally the case.
>>107092107I mean, folks... where's the lie?
>>107091976I'll be honest, I don't like that on Arch I am basically forced into a full system upgrade every week if I decide to install a new program. It's either that or a partial upgrade, which you're not supposed to do.
>>107094832While it's worthy of criticism1. Ideally you wouldn't have to install new programs frequently enough2. A full system upgrade doesn't often take that much time
>>107094608>I'd say even better than relying on using some immutable distro.no its not immutable is far more 'unbreakable' (ofc anything is breakable if you force it but if you use it as intended its 99.99% unbreakable where's a normal arch setup is maybe 70%)>>107094608>you decided to first try GNOME, then KDE, KDE decides to plant shitstains all over /home and change any settings related to gtk as well. You're not reverting that back through rolling back unless you are a madman and you take snapshots of your /home subvolume.it depends on how you use it but yea snapshotting that too is a good idea (i have a seperate drive i use for shit like big 50gb movie files/torrents... so that might change depending on your setup). for this use case an immutable system is actually very good for example if you're using atomic fedora gnome and wanna go tiling mode you can 'rebase' between fedora silverblue and fedora sericea (running sway) fairly seamlessly where the only difference from a clean install would be some flatpaks that come default on specific DE versions
>>107092107i don't even use arch but whoever made this spent more time on it than an arch user would on fixing their shit in a few months
>>107094832You can get your program from flatpak. Many are available from there.
>>107092614I sure do know the side.

>>107095300mutts are retards, but he is not stupid, nor is he some kind of genius. he is just less retarded than them. he is actually weaponizing their retardation successfully. he found a way to actually raise taxes without calling them taxes. he called the raised taxes "tariffs", gave them a jingoistic polish, and repeated the talking point that the exporter is the one who pays them, not the consumer, and banked on this very retarded move (as he's fully aware) domestically working from a populist PoV, and it did.

>>107093417kde still krashes
I've never had Arch break.Ubuntu, Mint and Debian have all broken on me.
>>107099225>Ubuntu, Mint and Debian have all broken on me.I remember having that same issue that Linus Tech Tips had doing an install of something like 20 years ago, where it tries to remove half your system to install a calculator or some shit. They share a shit package management system that's apparently unfixable.
>>107091976I've been using Arch for basically 2 years, and it never brought issues that are not easily fixable. This whole rant about Arch breaking all the time sounds like bullshit to me. I never used an operating system as stable, simple, fast and flexible as Arch, I had more trouble with shit like Ubuntu and Mint than I ever had with Arch. Arch cured my distro hop addiction.
>>107099999Nice quints.
>>107097631hot. made me salivate a bit ngl
>>107092107Notice how the "be someone" schedule is just wageslaving your life away
>>107100025kek, didn't even notice
>>107092107this is false.
>>107091976My Arch for 20 years broke maybe twice, that's too much downtime not being a pro hacker so I hopped to NixOS
>>107097631Why are you concerned with a post from over a year ago on reddit? You've been hanging onto this meme for a while. I did go to reddit and take a view at that "thicc bussy". Honestly could smell the image. Smelled a taco fart with a side of buttery corn. Anyways, I use Arch and I do like ASS! Arch Sexual Stimulus.
>>107095627I look like that and say that though
>>107092107My arch set up works with literally zero effort. I haven’t changed a single config in half a year. There was a slight issue where a package had to be uninstalled. They literally posted the solution in the news feed and it was a one liner. This entire image is wrong.
>>107091976Fedora/Ubuntu/Mint and others memes broke for me more times than arch.
>>107091976Son, I will buy you one of those MacOS machines, mine just works.
