I got hooked on arch when running it on vms. was the most speedy, performant lightweight distro of the ones i tried. its lightweight like debian but with newer packages, faster package manager, aur etc etc.
Arch is pretty much the best documented distro out there, so if you just read it you'll be fine and it's not difficult at all. And if you get stuck or have a question, there's a huge user base who's very willing to tell you to read the fucking manual.
Note: that first part is true. Only the second sentence is sarcasm. The Arch Wiki really is one of the top resources for Linux documentation even for users of other distro's.
Arch has always been easy !! Just have to know how to follow step by step directions !! Installed it on 1 shot my 1st time. Only thing i missed was systemctl enable NetworkManager !! Got that when rebooted
@@ItsJustVin basically pop os is like buying a prebuilt computer and arch is like building your own computer, having a prebuilt computer is easy, building your own computer is hard. so Linux users don't like making life hard, unless they use something like arch.
its called taking more control over your system. that way you can use your resources efficiently and you can gain some linux knowledge. if you are a developer, linux knowledge is a plus. and you do the installation only once, you configure things once and use the system. i think a lot of arch users has their own scripts to gain time. i use ubuntu, but the idea of configuring your own system excites me. in ubuntu, you don't have to configure everything yourself
Gotta defend my boi sunny here. He kinda monopolized on the stupid brostep era, but now he's a great producer who holds more to traditional dub. Also skrillex inspired some of the best edm there is today. Very influential guy overall even thought the brostep era was pretty immature.
I hate when arch users act like you have to install it from scratch, like it takes skill or something. You're literally following a guide line by line to achieve what an installer can do for you completely automatically.
you have reason, i think arch isn't too hard to install, but in fact, you need to know what are you doing during the installation to don't mess up your whole system lmao
i effed up the installation almost three times, but through will and power i actually gained a lot. i still dont remember everything i did step by step, but i kinda got a feel for it and how a linux system runs or is built. which is invaluable knowledge.
this, I was installing Arch into one of my VMs on server, and was annoyed about going throught all commands again.. it is actually neat if you want to just have the installation ready, in sort of standard setup.. a bit more extreme customization, i would go for normal install, but for shit like servers.. it's epic
There were actually always really nice installers. I used smth with "anarchy" it was called. I really loved it, it brought the whole customizing every component of your system into a nice gui and works flawless since then.
I do this all the time. I leave 10 gigabytes of HD to install easy LTS distros like ubuntu or mint in case I mess the grub with arch based distros hahaha
@@FelipeTardivo arch has a tool called archinstall that you can get when you boot the installation medium and type pacman -Sy / pacman -S archinstall i used to install arch the "advanced" way but since i started to use archinstall frankly i don't bother since it seems to give me a better experience as well
Why do I want Linux? I want to experience that pain once and forget about it. Yes it will take me a week to set up a server, but I will never have to worry about it again so long as I leave it be. Also learning Linux is pain and pain is the best teacher.
my company is selling products (kiosk ish) built on Ubuntu server. And we've customized it so much. I start to consider if I should just get arch and build from the ground up.
If you like tinkering around with your OS then for personal use, definately. I wouldn't recommend it for commercial/professional use however, unless you numb down pacman. Rolling releases tend to break things
Arch probably the best Distro for those with a bit of knowldge of how linux works been using it for too many years to remember tried all the rest back to Arch every time
@@memorysticky7581 Yes Slackware was a good distro as you say it fell behind a bit i am trying to think of the name of one of the real early distros cant remember was also very good "Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X," that was it
Lmao, I got arch too. I use sddm /w Plasma / I3. Pretty fresh, a bit buggy, needs work. NVIDIA drivers doesn't work at all. Great experience. Lol, I run into a problem every time I try to add something to the OS, the experience is about learning how to fix problems rather than being simplistic. Also, what DE / WM are you using at 1:00?
I use plasma/dwm with sddm on laptop and no dm on my desktop. Both have nvidia cards, 3060 mobile and 3070 Ti. Drivers work fine for the most part. On the laptop I even have optimus working with optimus manager and get really nice battery life when gpu is off and can game just fine when it is on. The laptop is a lenovo legion 5. I swapped my wifi card in the laptop from a broadcom to an Intel wifi 6 card(ax200 for laptop and ax210 for desktop) that the lts kernel didn't even properly support yet at the time. However with the latest kernel it worked fine with no tweaks. I stuck to the latest kernel and firmware since the lts one wouldn't work with the track pad and brightness at the time I got it. It took some work to get everything working perfectly but now it does and nothing has been broken in an update yet. I use arch for the laptop and artix(openrc) for the desktop and I honestly enjoy configuring and fixing things so I liked the whole experience and have a perfect setup now. I still have windows installed on both but I rarely use it unless I want to play some games that don't work with proton.
simple thing doesnt work spend 3 hours researching and trying out potential fixes still doesnt work .... I just wanted to record some audio using a mic without the background static noise bug.
@@Your_Degenerate I really try to not be a "uhh i use arch btw" douche, but it really does burn me up when people who clearly don't know what they're doing act like an elitist because arch is seen as some kind of magical *I'm cool now* bullet.

@euclidin April's Arch Linux ROM, archinstall was broken. They updated in May's ROM and since then it works. "last time I used it" depends on how long last time was, did you have problems recently? it works fine for me
you shouldnt download a disteo based on how it looks on screenshots but you should totally download a distro based on how nice its logo looks in the terminal. i use arch btw
I tried Arch but it was giving me a hard time with the partitions and I wasn't spending 7 hours trying this BS, I'll try again later on but I will make sure I clear a day out for it.
you know, i mean it's not that hard to understand how to install the OS, i installed it today without archinstall, basically it was jut to put it on my SSD set up grub and make sure pacman is working, the rest is just installing, basically it's not harder to use than the rest, you just start with almost nothing, no desktop, no gui, no network manager no nothing, only the pacman and the console, you have to install the desktop and every program yourself, which is not hard, but most people don't even know to install an OS from the download from internet part, but installing the desktop is beyond them, especially when you only have a console and you can only use a keyboard
IF ONLY all WINDOWS GAMES WOULD WORK ON LINUX, I COULD USE THAT BEAUTY EVERYDAY or most of it because my crappy work laptop runs windows and it's slow af due to running daemons, fuck it
Not sure why there's so much myth around Arch. It's a simple distro. It takes 15 minutes to install. It's no more difficult to install than Slackware or Fedora or whatever is popular these days. Actually, it's simpler, because no f*ing mouse required. Gentoo and Arch are pretty much on par with regards to installation, apart from the fact that Gentoo will take a little longer. I don't think most regular Arch users are ricing maniacs. I use Arch pretty much for one purpose: to run Emacs. If I used Fedora instead, it would be for the same reason. The difference is that Arch doesn't install 600 million packages and some useless desktop environment that doesn't even work properly in order for me to be able to use Emacs. So naturally I prefer Arch. The only distro I was every really passionate about was Slackware and that was back in the early days of Linux.
I literally was going to install arch today but i couldn't get past triggering uevents. Same thing happened with endeavour as well. Could just be my hardware tho
Truth not only Arch are not preloaded the GUI like XFCE4, MATE, GNOME or KDE all Linux Distributions are CLI in real the you manually install it in GUI or DE
7 hours "pacman -S archinstall" "archinstall" The one bundled with arch is really bad, but this one gives you easy customisation. No reason to waste time.
