I actually don't get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can't then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.

I love gatekeeping Linux distros

[-] JATtho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Why would learning be gatekeeping? I wish I could just teach my secrets... The manuals are only a shallow guide to knowledge. E.g. ls, has condensed for me to ls -laR mostly, and that ls<tab> usually gives tools that list something. ch<tab> gives tools to "change something", like chmod. mk<tab> to "create something" mkdir etc.

I may navigate in the terminal, but putting me at front of Blender etc. and I'm back to crawling speed of RTFM, and all I would see is a zoo of buttons.

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
