Beside the obvious benefit of arch btw rights, i mostly just use arch for it's speed on my not so powerful laptop. Paired with i3wm, it's incredibly fast. I switched from debian about 3 weeks ago, and honestly it's not too tricky, highly recommend to any debian based distro users. Also, pacman is really great. tl;dr: i use arch btw
Why is pacman great? What's better than in apt or aptitude? Honestly I don't really hear anything in this video, where I feel like it's any better than other distros. Like: 'You have full control over your system!' Ähm... in opposite to what distro? The only thing I learned about Arch is, that you have way more work to do before things are running.
@@kinimodsannas1276 By you have complete control, it generally means a couple things. One, it comes with essentially zero software, you only install exactly what you need, meaning that it runs faster and uses far less storage. A Linux Mint install may come with a few thousand packages, while Arch comes with a few hundred, which are mostly essential for the system to run (even the sudo command needs to be installed). It doesn't come with a GUI like other distros, you are able to install that yourself. You don't like the way other distros have internet set up? No problem, you control the exact way you set up your network connection. You control all the partitions, so you can make it as efficient and storage efficient as you need for your specific setup. About pacman, it just runs faster I find. It also can update your whole system's packages with a simple `pacman -Syu`. It's fast and simple. Not really much more to it than that tbh.
The thumbnail (I know you don't get to choose it) of the mountain background reminds me of how I explain Arch vs. other distros: Arch is *Everest.* People love to say they climbed it, even though it's pretty easy to get a guide to take you to the top these days (and the real challenge is probably Gentoo or LFS, which is K2 in this analogy). And yes, I use Arch, btw. Even though I "fell of the mountain" my first attempt, it was just in a VM, and my subsequent installs have "let me down" by how _easy_ they've been, both to set up and to maintain.
I use Garuda XFCE btw. I have done Arch the Arch way, but I wanted to test out some gaming features that I didn't have time to learn every switch and gotcha. So far Garuda has been great for this. Now I have an idea of what I want and will learn to replicate in Arch XFCE.
There are some details garuda doesn't guide you with, I came from there too. Look more into the communities behind proton-GE and common game launchers like heroic to get more into it. That's my recommendation.
Arch is great until you get some combination of Kernel+KWIN+AMDGPU mixture that completely borks your frametimes Very good distro to fuck around with, since you will break your own shit more often than it just breaks itself. And then when you're tired of all that, you now have enough knowledge to just run Fedora with customization. You Know, like a normal person.
after arch u can enlighten yourself with a rolling release distro less likely to break e.g. opensuse or you can continue in the rabbit hole and use nix os artix or even worse alpine linux and complain about having 80 packages instead of 70
honestly with how barebones and error-prone even "normal" linux distros are, arch linux shouldn't be a problem for any seasoned linux user lol. If you use linux, you WILL encounter strange cryptic issues which never happen on Windows, so you should've already gotten used to troubleshooting and customizing literally every part of the system, which is what arch actually encourages you to do.
I had 2 hours of battery life on my laptop. After installing arch it was down to 1 hour. After a week of configuring it is 4 and half hours. It works all fine except when BIOS automatically turns on safe mode for no reason (I blame HP for last part)
Please tell me what configuration you made/changed? I am looking forward to install linux in general on my laptop and was opnly wondering this(that what would the battery life be)
@@fevad1246 YT keeps deleting for being long so I will just give a summary. (Assuming it's a distro other than arch since first time) If your distro has the option, pick xfce. It's lighter. Go to applications>settings>display manager. Decrease resolution to a smaller one with same ratio. Decrease refresh rate to around 60 max if it isn't already. Install autocpu-freq, tlp, powertop and ibam Use first two for automatically configuring. Use the other two for monitoring powertop will be more detailed you can "powertop --auto-tune" to automatically tune everything. This will be enough for pretty much everyone. More tuning will depend on distro.
i had 8h battery life on windows. On fedora, it was down to 4h. On other distros, it jumps down to around 3h, and with TLP it jumps down to 2h lmfao linux is a joke
Arch is most definitely not the best for New users, in fact it's the easiest way to send a newbie running from Linux forever. Start them off on something sensible and when they pick up some knowledge then they can build Arch
i used ubuntu for 2 weeks then i immediately got to arch (my friend guided me through the install) and now i understand arch pretty well (now that well but eh) arch literally made my laptop use 8x less ram than windows 10 and its like 20x faster
I've been using Arch for about 2 months and its just incredible how i feel comfortable using it, knowing exactly what is running on the back is a good feeling, and breaking the head to do things that should be simple is pure pain but gives you a good sensation, idk how to describe
I'm surprised he even brought it up tbh, I've barely ever heard anyone using Arch mention flatpak, it's almost entirely useless when you have access to AUR
I personally leave up to the package maintainers, if they recommend the flatpak or support it only I use it. Vesktop is what I can tell you off the top of my head. @@kamaltufekcic4618
I remember how excited I was to install Arch and other GNU/Linux OSes like Endeavour OS and Fedora. I was shocked that my old crappy usb 4G Internet thing worked out of the box on Fedora and then I decided to install it instead of Windows. Unfortunately, I have no such exitement now.
I admit I've seen some interesting stuff on linux and I do kind of want to learn it, but the difficulty curve for me in particular is rather high, not because I'm not a technical person, but rather the opposite and I've spent half my life on windows and learning it practically inside and out. I've accumulated a ton of knowledge and tools that are /specific/ to windows, and just don't really carry over. So it's the sunk-cost fallacy where I'm so heavily invested in something switching to something else feels like a huge cost. I'm aware it's a fallacy but it doesn't make it feel like any less of a huge ask. Don't get me wrong, if I sat down in front of a computer running most distros I could probably easily figure out how to run a browser or office software or something, but I for an unpleasant change would not at all be comfortable with my odds of easily troubleshooting problems or figuring things out as one thing Linux generally isn't past basic usage is intuitive. Windows relatively speaking is somewhat designed to hold your hand through most tasks, while Linux expects you to have at least some idea what you're doing.
Too long and blatantly wrong. Linux distros such as Mint are very user-friendly and will hold your hand more than Windows ever will. Without consuming half your RAM for "updates".
People keep saying "x is better, y is more user friendly" but people use what they are comfortable with, i personaly as a tech person just became more comfortable on linux as i had to live on very low spec machines and linux worked great while windows would not at all (real story amd drivers bootloop or freeze often on my laptop but linux works fine)
If it's something you're interested in, you don't have to make the switch all at once. Pick up a 64gb or higher USB drive and look up how to flash a distro to it. From there, you can boot Linux and use it directly from the USB drive without affecting Windows at all. It's incredibly easy. Just start using it bit by bit alongside Windows, just playing around and getting a feel for it. Only use it for as long as you're having fun with it. You will constantly be recommended Linux Mint and that's more than likely your best starting option. It uses a lot of the same design ethos as Windows and does nearly everything the same way while also being considerably simpler and more intuitive to use. If you're still unsure, just watch a few guides and videos of people using it and see if you're still interested.
Honestly if you're a tech person you can just figure everything out with googling. I recently made the switch and I'm now dual-booting Win11 and Mint, I was surprised how smooth the switch was. But maybe that's because I played around a little in VirtualBox before.
@@Electrodexify Oh, i didn't explain correctly. The sound actually comes from a real keyboard, it's from the Hex.4b. He took some samples and adds the sounds during editing.
its too outdated imo like even the unstable repo on a server or something i can understand itd be my goto choice but on a desktop its not too great. sure its stable but a lot of rolling release distros never cause issues. i use opensuse tumbleweed rn and i never had it break on me ive been using it for quite a bit you get packages as frequently as arch but its way more simple and it has a way smaller chance of breaking than arch

I wouldn't call Arch minimalist, though. All packages include what other distros typically put in a separate -dev package. Their dependencies are also quite generous.
Arch is great and I would run it all day if it weren't for the popularity of debian based distros. AUR have so much, but for some reason companies only care about the .deb messing with me.
It's good distro, but too difficult for me: I don't want to spend all my time learning it and fixing stuff, you know I also have actual stuff to do on my PC
Arch gives you nothing/relatively close to nothing so the system only has things you want or need, rather than filling up your expensive SSD/HDD with things you neither want or need.
It would be really nice if you could get a cohesive installation without having to literally do everything yourself. This is why I liked Gentoo vs Arch. Sensible defaults with 100% ability to modify them. Arch just says fuck everything
Go for it! Though I wouldn't recommend it for anyone's first time using linux, if you're willing to dive right in, might as well. I'd also recommend testing in a VM first, if you have the hardware for it.
honestly arch isn't that different from other distros, because every single linux distro will have a shit ton of problems you have to solve yourself, even fresh OOTB. I've used around 7 distros at this point, and none of them work OOTB, and no, nvidia drivers aren't the problem, linux itself is.
sort of depends on what you do with the AUR, most i get from it is librewolf and vesktop. if you know what you’re doing it should still be pretty good stability wise.
So, bench racing by posers as opposed to actually using the PC for something. A distribution or any OS is just the base for applications. No one runs an OS unless they are on the spectrum. They run applications. I'm so glad we are far beyond this nonsense of Nerd Flexing.

@@water1374that's only something a linux user would say. I've used windows for decades and i never needed to know which DE, init system, kernel, drivers, etc. it uses under the hood. It just works, unlike desktop linux which is made for hobbyists.
"no one runs an OS unless they're on the spectrum" congratulations !! almost everyone who has ever used a computer or other similar device is autistic now they just added it to the DSM-5 !! its true I went to get my autism assessment, and one of the first questions they asked was "have you ever used an operating system before?" I can't believe they didn't notice this symptom earlier
(^ all this is sarcasm, i am autistic. like "so autistic that the team debating my diagnosis didnt need to do much debating" autistic. "passed my autism exam with flying colors" autistic. so I cant really debate your point lol)
@@okie9025 You do realise you're commenting on a video about Linux, from a channel that makes Linux content, right?
You're in the wrong place. But you can use Windows if you like, nobody is suggesting you change.
But I would take a moment to consider why you thought it relevant to write your comment. Was it to troll, or do you somehow feel threatened?
@@okie9025What does hobbyist mean here? People who do computing (system administration, software engineering, etc...) are more likely to use linux, so I'm sure you're not implying that linux is for people who don't use computers, much less that it's not for those who use them professionally. Are you saying that spending time learning more about computing is a waste?
