For Lemmy just replace racism with unsolicited Linux advice
I get what you are saying, but you should try Chimera Linux.
We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed at home.
Maybe we need a term for this. What do the gender focused Lemmy crowd think is a good term for not accepting windows.
Windophobic?
OSist
Do you even Arch?
No but I'd like to. I'd unironically join a supportive Linux noob community. One where we can also complain without fear of reprisals
{btw}
I find Arch to be too much bloat.
I prefer something really lightweight that only runs notepat
Notepad is bloat. Vim is bloat. Use ed.
Bloat I only use Butterfly to manually flip electorn and stream output directly into my brain.
What did Linux do to you?
This is actually hilarious. It looks like the entire sub is just people posting anti-Linux memes and being downvoted to death
He probably ran btrfs with raid 5
without backupsRookie mistake
I’d rather have the unsolicited linux advice tbh
but anyways that’s not super relevant because there very much is still racism on lemmy…
Yeah but I see a racist comment like once a week. You don't have to spend long on Twitter to find that shit.
It usually takes about 8 seconds.
Bedrock Linux is pretty cool (I am not going to say ar*h btw)
Are the rumours about Arch being too hard true? If someone's experienced with Debian and Fedora, will they find Arch too hard?
It's not really difficult but as far as i remember, you have to configure everything yourself, which can be tiring. Depends on your mood though, if you're into configuring your own linux system, then i guess Arch is perfect for you.
I think vanilla Arch is daunting to get going because it drops you in with so little to start with. Once you're past that I think it's fine. Especially if you're already used to Debian and Fedora. Sure, you'll need to learn to use pacman (Arch's package manager) and it is a little confusing at times, but there's a ton of great advice for it online, including the Arch wiki.
I highly suggest EndeavourOS. It's basically Arch with a better install process. Once its done you'll have a desktop environment and browser. I'm using CachyOS which is similar but has a little but more stuff, but it's still Arch. Like you, I'm very confident with other Linux OSes but was wary of Arch. Turns out people have good solutions to get over that worst hurdle nowadays (the original install and getting a desktop environment).
Also, unlike other derivative distributions like Ubuntu to Debian and Manjaro to Arch, EndeavourOS really is just Arch. It's just a nicer install process.
Ime, not really. It feels daunting the first time, but the installation guide on the wiki is actually really good at holding your hand through it.
Just be careful not to skip any sections
Plus now there's an installation script that is really good for basic installs. Takes about 10 minutes now.
