/g/ — Why Do You Use Arch?

>fuck the rest of the Linux distros, they install a bunch of garbage that you will never use
Arch is also bloatware t.gentoo

linux mint does what i need

I got tired of decades of windows install needing to be stripped down, features turned off, services disabled, so I wanted the opposite: barebones system I put things into I actually need.

Because it just works. It doesn't hold your hand or constrain you into some verified workflow that hardly works, or minimal setup where you have to configure everything yourself to waste 10x more time gaining 10% more performance.

You just got Linux, you can install whatever on it, repos have everything, everything is up to date, if something breaks it's up to you to figure out how to fix it. You have full control over your system and you are free to do whatever you want. If you are not a retard you can use it to make your own setup that works very well for you.

After setting up a declarative OS id never go back to caveman tools like arch

Why would I want to audit PKGBUILDs for the rest of my life?

>>109029394
(OP) It's the opposite retard, ease-of-use OS'es are for babies/cavemen, Arch is for people that are smart and not a low IQ retard like niggers

>>109029425
(OP) You don't have to.

>>109029425
You don't have to. You can always just treat it as all the mystery freeware installers you downloaded on windows that do not have any source publicly available.

>>109029373
(OP) Good description.

Oh no, here comes the niggers that use Kali being faggots.

So what you're saying is AUR is about as secure as untrusted Windows binaries?

>>109029333 (OP)
cause no choice here:
Debian jeeted
Fedora rheled
Void,nix,alpine,freebsd and others are niche

So pretty much you are stuck with arch.

>>109029358
Oh yes

>>109029350
gentoo is also bloatware t.lfs

>>109029517
No, I am just saying I fucked your mom last night.

>>109029350
gentoo, when you have 3 weeks to compile an update

>>109029333 (OP)
i use it on server and it just werks

firefox/librewolf situation

>>109029333 (OP)
i switched to Arch recently, it turns out not difficult at all, i just install kde and steam and it just works

>>109029333 (OP)
funny enough, it's been the most headache free distro since I left the Debian/Ubuntu environment. if you're using XFCE though, Artix is the way to go.

>>109029333 (OP)
Because Linux is far from being a perfect OS and on my experience, a distro that tries to do too much will eventually fail. Arch doesn't hold your hand in any way allowing you to have full control of what is happening under the hood. Plus, the standard repos + AUR have everything you will ever need.

Trips of truth.

doesn't hold your hand, good repos, good package manager, good wiki, doesn't break unless you're retarded, let's you do what you want, unironically just werks

I don't, I use Tumbleweed. Basically does the same thing but holds your hand a little more.
