Do people actually do this?

I quit using Arch after about ten years of using it because Team Fortress 2 quit working and none of the resolutions on protondb fixed my issue.

Priorities, people.

The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system’s version to get TF2 running again. It’s usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.

The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I’m not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I’ve found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they’ve found a match.

See, I did all that… and then audio broke. So, I couldn’t anymore, man. I probably could’ve copied the install, kept it updated and held it for a resolution but I just don’t demand that much from my builds anymore really. I went with Mint with XFCE and haven’t had a single issue since install. I’m good. If it comes down to Ubuntu’s base, a lot more eyes will be on the problem and I’ll sort it out then.

uis, in So, timeshift or NixOS?

I didn’t reinstall my system for 5 years

fuck_u_spez_in_particular,

You probably don’t have much on that system and/or you have a lot of discipline…

I did reinstall it after max 1 1/2 years (Arch btw.), either because of breakage, or weird behavior, or it was a chaotic dumpster fire.

At some point I discovered NixOS and was sold (and am still sold after 3 1/2 years using it). But it has a steep learning curve, though it certainly got better over that time.

Gentoo

fuck_u_spez_in_particular,

Not sure what you want to tell me exactly, as the above also applies to Gentoo ^^…

But I guess as a Gentoo user you have a lot of discipline then?

BlackPit, in Oh no ...

Block those communities and subjects you don’t want in your feed.

I love how “unbiased” it is and I’m not even an arch user.

_cnt0,

Yah, I’m a huge fan of factual content. Biased people suck.

Prunebutt,

Not sure if ironic, or an incredible idiot.

_cnt0,

Could be both. There’s so many lunatics here, you can never be sure.

spacesweedkid27,

I don’t use arch btw

But… Endeavour though

kucing,

EndeavourOS gang rise up 🤘

NoXzema, in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

I started using EndeavourOS which is pretty close to Arch with a better installer. Uses their repos unlike Manjaro.

Friends don’t let friends use Manjaro

TootSweet, in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

I use Arch, BTW.

I feed on your hatred.

_cnt0,

I can feel your anger. It makes you stronger, gives you focus.

Mango, in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

I’ve tried Arch before. I don’t really remember it being a hassle. I’ve even installed Gentoo but never used it. Sabayon was the good shit.

stefenauris,
@stefenauris@pawb.social avatar

omg I remember Sabayon! The theming was terrific on it

Mango,

All the goodness of Gentoo with pacman and none of the pain! Nightly builds! BLEEDING EDGE.

Arch has an awesome installer now so this is pretty dated.

banneryear1868,

Yeah all the most popular distros have basically been next>next>done since 2010 minimum on most hardware.

If we keep beating it for long enough, thermodynamics says it might spontaneously turn back into a horse.

el_bhm,

And that horse will be using arch btw.

I switchee to Arch the other month, its been alright except for CUDA getting an update before the NVIDIA driver so I couldn’t run my assignment locally. But I assume that’s my fault because Arch maintainers are all care and no responsibility.

I might be looking into NixOS soon

Holzkohlen,

Just restore a snapshot. Or just check which packages are gonna get updated. OR just don’t update right before you have to do critical work.
If none of those work for you, then Arch isn’t for you. That’s fine too. I also sometimes get intrusive thoughts telling me to just go back to Mint. 😁

okamiueru, in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

I don’t remember installing arch. Hm. Can’t have been a big hassle. Is this some kind of meta meme?

CalicoJack,

Yup. It’s a very manual install that’ll let you screw it up, so it’s gained that reputation. But it really isn’t bad if you follow the wiki (or have done it before).

  • CalicoJack,

    That’s only if you use an automated script, and only if it works. ‘Default’ install is almost entirely manual, other than letting pacman grab what it needs to.

    Arch has been daily driver for years, I’m already familiar with the process. There’s an option for a guided system. The default is a terminal with no guidance.

    My favorite part about Linux users is that they’ll just assume you have no idea what you’re talking about even if you’ve been using it for years.

    somenonewho, in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

    I’ll have you know that I eat a vegetarian not vegan diet and I really don’t have a man bun (got no hair for that) … The stickers on the laptop however really felt like you took a photo of my machine.

    Also if it wasn’t obvious I run arch

    You eat vegetarians?

    I prefer my meat grass-fed

    _cnt0,

    The man bun is more of a mental thing. And, hey, I’m a vegetarian too according to the saying “you are what you eat”.
