Me being an arch using vegan with a man-bun makes this feel like a personal attack.

But once I get my new arch setup working I'll install gimp on it and create a meme making fun of you!

And you’ll finally get your sound working on your new laptop after weeks of messing with pulse audio and realizing you just needed to install sof-firmware but didn’t scroll far enough in the wiki to see that, but now your pulse audio config is so messed up it’s just easier to reinstall Arch again

Step 1: install pipewire

there is no step 2

man I knew this was going to be rough when I saw him wearing a vegan shirt but god DAMN

"All Arch users are stupid vegan crossfitters who never shut up and contribute nothing to society and the only thing they ever care about is making their desktop look l33t and Arch is a horrible distro and did I mention all Arch users are stupid?"

Oh. My. Sides.

I switched from Ubuntu to Arch because I was sick of packages not compiling due to a complete lack of dependency management. I use stock KDE with zero frills and I spend most of my time hacking on open source projects. I never tell anyone what OS I use (unless they ask for recommendations for their new machine, and I'm prepared to also tell them why I personally prefer it) because they don't care. I'm a normal guy who keeps myself to myself and hates the people who think a pretty desktop is more important than a usable system just as much as everyone else.

However, I use Arch, and Arch bad, which means I must be the most annoying person on the planet.

What the guy on the right is doing seems like cultural appropriation of trans catgirl culture.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Cultural appropriation is a bullshit concept predominantly invoked by people not belonging to a culture who are not able to make valuable contributions to society.

[–] Prunebutt@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wow. What an idiotic thing to say.

Also: Good job to not getting the joke.

Love how this has almost 80 dislikes (as of writing this), as if they actually took it personally 😂

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

as if they actually took it personally

For me it is, in so far as I'd see it as a personal failure if my contributions here failed to create at least some controversy and ruffled some feathers :P

You see, it's fun to poke things. Poking a pumpkin is funny for about 10 seconds. Poking a beehive on the other hand ... that has a certain thrill to it. Sure, one might get stung, but it keeps on giving for a long time.

[–] Prunebutt@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago

I just don't like the unnecessary stab at vegans. Adds nothing to the joke except rehash 10 year old stereotypes.

Only ever recorded instance of hat-wearing Linux user saying “I’m in” and not meaning an access acquisition

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago

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. 😁

[–] somenonewho@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago

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

[–] woodgen@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I would like this comic done by an arch user.

I want to see Debain users and Fedora users faces when they noticd they don't have access the AUR or PKGBUILDs.

I want to see them running sudo make install to install stuff from git.

Also reading the Arch wiki for so long is something new arch users probably do. I installed arch for tens of times btw and for me the system already runs with the installation media.

I am very sure no Debian or Fedora user is done after the installer finishes. Then comes the tricky part of the setup. The one that takes days. Adding ppas and making stuff work fedora doesn't package.

This process starts with arch right away. From the moment i chroot into my installation.

I actively maintain ~9 computers in my house running arch. Many of them have dual boot arch. E.g. one arch for work, one arch for everything else. One arch for music production, one arch for everything rlse. I run arch on my webserver. I run arch on my home sevrer. I run arch on my wifes gaming desktop. I run arch on my wifes laptop. I run arch on my kids netbook. i run arch on rasberry pi.

btw.

[–] Dingsda@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I am always a bit disapointed when I install debian every couple of years.

Like, after 1.5 hours, I am like "what, that was all?" Most of the stuff I need is installed by default, just add Jetbrains toolbox, install my ide, add a few more packages and git clone my current project.

Edit: autocorrect changed git to it

[–] rainynight65@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago

Any place of discourse that incorporates the term 'master race' in its name is a place I give a wide berth.

[–] netwren@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly this is the reason I want an immutable build of Arch like NixOS.

Let me roll back my mistakes and I could live more happily with rolling release.

[–] Shatur@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can downgrade packages on arch too via downgrade.

Wtfff this guy knows a lot of Linux

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I actually encoutered this the other day.

Me: "Yeah I need reliability for work and sometimes I just don't have time to repair stuff. Last time I was on rolling release some update fucked my system right before an important deadline"

Other person: "It wOn'T bReAk If YoU UndErStANd iT"

._.

Anyway stable is awesome

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yep and that's why I refuse to use rolling distros. I don't need the latest update of everything to game. Give me a stable system any day instead.

Debian or openSUSE Leap for me.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

Arch + BTRFS snapshots might be great. I am trying that out currently, but will probably just stay on Fedora Kinoite

[–] cpw@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Debian guy could have just downloaded the nonfree installer that includes some common wifi and other hardware firmwares. There are some pragmatists at Debian.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

Agree but Debian is still damn manual compared to many Fedora quality of life improvements.

Meanwhile, removing snaps and replacing with flatpaks on a set up ubuntu system is crazy! All those loop mounts suddenly start showing up when snapd is gone

Kernel is done! Now Libreoffice!

[–] shrugal@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

No way the Fedora user figured out how to configure partitions in the installer without having to google it at least five times! I've installed Fedora a few times over the years, and that UI still makes no sense to me!

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

You just dont configure partitions, lol

[–] lankybiker@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like you don't need to fix shit with Fedora

It's good but it's not left perfect

[–] Damage@feddit.it 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tbh I don't remember the last time I had to fix something on Fedora...

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

For me:

  • remove fedora flatpak
  • add flathub
  • remove preinstalled bloat (especially annoying on GNOME as these apps all have weird names)
  • add user to libvirt plugdev groups
  • setup automatic updates is weird, packagekit sucks a bit
  • Gnome software sucks, KDE Discover + Flatpak is way easier. But the flatpak backend is probably preinstalled
  • add rpmfusion on KDE needs CLI poorly, but nothing unfixable
  • install libavcodec-freeworld
[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

Downvote for vegan. Thats just unnecessary bullying without getting the point. But I also dont know many "influencer hipsters" which are always annoying, no matter what they do

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago
archinstall
# btrfs
# user account in wheel
# install plasma-meta flatpak podman distrobox fish tmux konsole 
# I guess thats it?
su $USERNAME && systemctl enable --now sddm
sudo sddm
# login
# Open Discover, install apps from Flathub
# install stuff from Arch repos
# install Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora packages with a fitting Distrobox, maybe root, to avoid weird AUR stuff breaking your system

I literally never used Arch and install took not very long after finding out what a chroot is and how to reboot from that.

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I love how "unbiased" it is and I'm not even an arch user.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Prunebutt@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago

Not sure if ironic, or an incredible idiot.
