      Nah, that sounds like torture. Anybody willing to have that kind of setup shouldn’t be messed with, they’re clearly unstable.

    I can honestly say that I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years…

    Never again.

    Now I run easy distros. Much less stress overall.

    Guys, why are you constantly making fun of arch. It really is a straightforward, stable and user friendly distro. The wiki is amazing and it’s very easy to find help even when you run into problems.

    Oh, I use arch btw.

        In my 8 years of using Arch as daily driver, it has broken only couple of times for me, and usually I can find the fixes in the forums. Ubuntu on the other hand has lead to so much pain.

      Did the same. I pretty much had to redo every single step, sometimes multiple times, because I did not fully understand what I was doing. But I had a running system in the end with everything working as far as I could tell.

      Then I immediately formatted everything and installed Endeavor, because I just didn’t trust myself not having done anything wrong.

      It did help with understanding though. Some things aren’t as scary anymore and I understand the arch wiki much better now.

    Manjaro Users: I could never be bothered to follow the steps for installing on the arch wiki.

    Manjaro Users When Something Breaks: Gotta go check the arch wiki & forums.

    What a vucking great social network this Lemmy is.

    I clicked “subscribe” to your community or whatever the vuck it’s called and for two weeks I’ve been looking at “Pending”. Is this such a vucking fediverse achievement that I don’t understand?

    Now for the topic at hand. If you have to choose between Arch and Manjaro, you have to choose Arch. 100% none of you will need to thoroughly partition your hard drive, because none of you will bother moving /home to another partition on the drive. And the main difficulty will be setting up the wifi, solved by reading the man pages. Unfortunately they are without pictures, so you will have to work hard.

    Manjaro has compromised itself so many times that I don’t understand people who use it.

    Although no, I do understand you, my little friends. Manjaro has a graphic installer.

      Damn, subscribing might’ve not worked but 52 people made sure that the downvote button did

      Its a known bug. Who knew reddit will fuck up? Give it some time, it’ll be much better!
