        It’s a little silly to look at a whole nearly 10 years and not recognize culture has changed significantly, but here’s an example considering the other reply failed to produce one:

        Merely 1 year before, the internet was roiled by absolute massive drama that was basically masterminded by proto-incels upset that women were in the video game industry. They were extremely successful in framing a jilted ex’s story as somehow a question of ethics. It was not only impressive how seriously they were taken, but some aspects were just unquestioned as just “how the internet was” like making depictions of these public figures being beaten to a bloody pulp, when nowadays the kids have been having to make euphemisms for implying someone dying in any way to get around censors. It even spilled over into 2015, which is why I can even use it as an example for that year.

        In comparison, Gamergate 2 happened a few weeks ago. Its likely not many people here will even realize that even happened, and those that do recognize it was a whimpering yelp at best compared to the OG.

        Many aspects of our society and culture including the fact that in the early teens random jokes at vegan’s expense were seen as normal rather than a fuck move

      Plus if anything Debian is more stringent regarding proprietary packages than Arch. Arch package manager will let you install open source drivers or proprietary drivers equally. If adhering to “extreme” moral values is the joke about being labelled vegan, then debian is the vegan one.

    I’ve had Ubuntu and derivative distros break on me infinitely more times than I’ve ever had Arch or its derivatives break at all.

    Usually going from one major update of *buntu/Pop based distro to another.

    Using Endeavour ATM, but tempted to give NixOS a crack and see what it’s like…

    Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.

    I use NixOS btw

      Meanwhile in Gentoo: Still compiling.

      Oh wait: binpkgs, update is done and I don’t have look at NixOS anymore. [=

              Ahh man gotta love NVIDIA. Most of my machines have an NVIDIA GPU, but I’ve had only a few minor issues along the way. Mostly from me not reading things correctly.

              Saw issues with flickering electron applications, sleep somehow running the GPU until my battery was drained, hyprland just saying not today and random crashes here and there.

              Systems are pretty stable now, laptop runs fine in hybrid mode (AMD / NVIDIA) and I removed almost all electron applications.

              I’ve found if I can’t figure something out I’ll start a new module for another package. But I guess if it’s something “mission critical” in your case a GPU then it’s pretty hard to do much else.

                Yeah, I need GPU for CUDA, so it needs to work. It also doubles as my gaming laptop, which I could live without, but it would be suboptimal.

      I think it’s a meme like arch users and vegans “how do you find them in a crowd? Don’t worry they’ll let you know”

        In reality it’s mostly the opposide tho. Like in any Social Media post about plant based food you get bunch of meat eaters who have to announce to everyone how much they enjoy eating meat.

          they really love doing that. around when i went vegan someone i know was asking me about it and then stopped talking to me entirely because i “bring up veganism too much” after like 2 conversations that i did not initiate.

          meanwhile you literally cannot escape meat eaters either talking about how much they love meat or condemning imaginary people who are trying to make them eat bugs or something and conflating that with veganism, yet vegans are annoying.

      I’ve used all these distros and I’ve never contributed shit lol. Love that shirt though… Is the v supposed to be like the vim logo? Or maybe upside down arch.

    I started installing it about a year and a half ago and I think it’s still not finished. The best distro is the one you can using during installation.

    nowadays archinstall will get you up and running nice and quick. I broke my setup the other day by misusing paru. I wish arch didn’t have this reputation. other than me uninstalling my own display manager it’s been perfectly stable through every update since I installed it years ago. the wiki has incredible amounts of digestible information that has helped me set up anything I want. it’s true that it can be more difficult than other distros, and there are some elitists. but it’s a good choice for people who like to tinker.

    Enuf with the Arch hate already…

    Fedora and Debian are cool,
    but Arch is too,
    their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

    And no I don’t use Arch btw,
    I use Manjaro,
    which has suited me fine for years now.

        Enough with the Arch hate, already!
        Arch admins just want code sans spaghetti!
        Debian, Fedora, guess they can be cool…
        But us Arch users don’t need no ‘installer tool’

        We all know the Arch wiki’s amazin’,
        (but at the risk of some minor noob hazin’)
        If you can’t get far with their great AUR
        Then Mint might be more where you are

        Now as much as it pains me to say
        There’s no Arch on my box, by the way
        Manjaro’s OS has been my fave for years
        (To be honest Arch leaves many in tears)

    I’ll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!

        this is the way

        on my main system i have arch with a partitioning scheme that has worked well for me because i took time to research and identify what i needed from it. i even got full disk encryption working after the fact!

        on fedora i click automatic partitioning, wipe the drives i want, and don’t do more than that because the partitioning screen feels extremely confusing.

        I love Anaconda, but I will admit the partition management isn’t very intuitive. That is the only thing I can ding it on though, in every other regard it’s an amazing installer.
