>>109354438What then? I refuse to use Guh-nome. I want a proper DE with a taskbar and start menu and all that traditional stuff. I don't want to go full autism with the extra lightweight barebones shit like LXQT, so my only option then is Cinnamon, and if I'm going to use cinnamon then might as well use Mint, but Mint sucks.

>>109354504endeavor and cachy are the same tier of meme distro they are both based on arch and made it slightly easier to install and thats why stupid faggots download it and cant fix even the most basic of issues. stop fucking around on meme distros and use a real os that people actually daily for years and years.>>109354510just use windows man what benefit are you even getting ? if you want a less mean answer you need to suck it up and pick one of the following:XFCEpick a fucking wm and a taskbar its really not hard MATE ( "wawaawa isnt it like a gnome fork or something ") just spend 20 minutes asking a llm how to change icons or some shit if you are so hot and bothered by the looks of any of the above WAT DO I NEED FOR A DE EXPERIENCE ON A WM ??-way to set background photo-browser-image viewer -pdf viewer -gui file manager-text editor of your choice ( if you even fuck around with code ) im not going to recommend you anything specific program wise because you wont like it just ask an llm for a gui version of all the things above
>>109354576this should take less than 30 minutes if you arent fucking around and your system will be set for YEARS and you will know all the little tools you picked and could easily recreate it if you needed too.

>>109354745/g/ still has a lot of boomers who are allergic to wayland and go out of their way to use x setupsnever mind the fact that every mainstream distro (including the holy arch) is deprecating xand xlibre has become persona non grata in a lot of places thanks to politics
>>109354438dont listen to this retard or any of the linux trannies. all linux distros are like cheap chinese clones of real things. They're half baked in all aspects. they look like real stuff but when you work on it, you quickly realize its fundamentally broken at the core
Know what never has a problem? X11 and Cinnamon. What do you need all those niggerlicious features for when you're in a terminal window 90% of the time anyways.
>>109354777>>109354745you niggers can use kde or sway or some bullshit i just dont recommend it because i dont like them go ahead and suggest what op should use then, but its very telling you just try to shit on what i say while not revealing what you actually use

>>109354576Dunning-kruger post CachyOS isn't a meme distro, they have their own repo with compiler optimizations and their own custom kernel and schedulers
>>109354850if the compiler optimizations were anything real then they would be adopted by literally any other projects ever, if they have been then great !! if the custom kernel had merit they would probably be changes that get merged into the kernel otherwise my guess is its memey gaming stuffin an ecosystem where the best way usually kills the less good way ask yourself why only ONE distro is doing this and why it hasnt been adapted.
>>109354901They're not adopted because the boomer distros need to maintain compatibility with boomer hardware, based retard

>>109354987>32 bit supportWhat does that have to do with x86-64 compiler optimizations?Holy fucking retard
>>109355001you claim they care about supporting compatibility with boomer hardware i give you a clear example of them dropping support for literal boomer hardware in favor of pushing forward and you pretend to not understand. your getting gaped
>>10935511032 bit isn't boomer hardware, it's ancient hardwareIf arch used v3 and v4 compiler optimizations, any 64 bit CPU that doesn't support AVX2 or AVX-512 wouldn't be compatibleRetarded faggot

>>109357464You seem the kind of nigger that can't be bothered to understand that installing ANY third part system on any machine intended as OEM product will ALWAYS came with incompatibilities/issues you have to fix by yourself. If that's the case spare yourself the effort and, if you're so adamant in wanting linux, buy a fucking system76 or a tuxedo machine or stick to fucking windows. Conversely if you're ok with some potential minimal fiddling the closest approximation of justwerk in one go (because they just blow-load all the proprietary bloat from the get go) are either ZorinOS or Bazzite linux. There, given the job you can't get anything better than that.

>>109370359>Unstable and annoyingthis is a lie, only people who say tthis are those who get filtered setting it up
>>109370372No, the setup is the easy part. The hard part is running an update and then suddenly realize that something broke. Or even that the update itself refuses to work and then you have to manually remove another package so that the new package can install because they're mutually exclusive.
>>109354350i just experienced my first KDE krash bros
>>109354350I tried so hard to make KDE work. So many distros now default to it, Valve pumped a lot of money into it, they support more wayland protocols than Gnome and they have fewer retardations like "hurr durr no the application can't steal focus, here's a fucking notification you can click that puts the application in the foreground" (thank god for Grand Theft Focus). So I thought it HAD to be good. But holy fucking shit, KDE SUCKS. The only reason anyone uses this is Windows baby duckism. It looks so fucking ugly, everything is broken, from subtly to unbearably and you get multiple "this and that program have stopped working, do you want to submit a bug report" notifications every day. The window manager kwin itself shat itself on every boot on a fresh Kubuntu install. What were they thinking?It fucking sucks, it sucking fucks, it fucking blows, it's a piece of shit... and i don't like it.
>>109354674I did install arch in a VM as a learning experience, but after that I don't see why I would need to consult a wiki just to install an OS since then.
>>109370480>they have fewer retardations like "hurr durr no the application can't steal focus, here's a fucking notification you can click that puts the application in the foreground"It does, they haven't enabled it by default yet https://www.osnews.com/story/143040/kde-improves-focus-stealing-prevention-on-wayland/
>>109354350Fedora and Debian are the best choices. Ubuntu squirt the bed. Crappyos is garbage.
>>109370523Oh my fucking god. I like that they want to put the user in control, really. I want to seriously punch the everloving shit out of the retard steam dev who broke the -silent option so the retarded "Waiting for network" splash screen appears and steals focus on every boot in particular. Really eviscerate that absolute fucking faggot. But I want to be able to allow certain applications to steal focus if I trust them. Just put an "allow this app to take focus" checkbox to the notification or something, is it really that hard..?
>>109357892OP wtf
>>109354674>from the ground upignoring the fact that archinstall exists, it's just pasting a few commands and editing a few files, so hardly diy. do lfs if you wanna know troubleshooting, or even just gentoo will teach you loads more than arch

All of this just werks. Cachy is for stupid people with too much melanin in them. Everything /g/ told me was wrong.So how should I celebrate when it hits 3 years soon?>SpectacleI remember when they added video recording to this shit, it was more like a crash button. It works flawlessly now though.
>>109354438>gentoohell yeah
>>109354350works on my machine
I don't really get how everyone is constantly crashing on KDE. I'm not gonna say I've never encountered a bug or two, but it's nowhere near as bad as it is being described where it crashes every few minutes and you can't even use spectacle or anything.The only time I had trouble with spectacle was when I used nvidia graphics card and it couldn't record video anymore.
>>109375436It's bait
>>109370372>Give arch a second chance after forgetting why I stopped using it>Boot it up one day having not updated it since the last time everything worked fine>Nvidia drivers somehow got messed up>Fix everything into a stable state>Works fine for a month>Somehow breaks again without any updates involvedI would think if I never touch what is supposed to be stable then it will remain such, but apparently not in Arch
>>109354576>muh graphical installarch being "hard" to install is such a fucking meme. only commands that aren't a blatant copy/paste from a guide are the ones to partition your storage, and that is braindead easy. i use cachyos because the default compiler optimizations are a no-brainer for better performance. using vanilla arch because you think people are impressed you set up some fstab entries is pathetic. install gentoo without using any precompiled binaries if you want to show off your e-peen, being proud to run arch for that reason aint it
