Putting Arch in top tier then Endeavour in Why is hilarious

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

typical arch user

[-] cetvrti_magi@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

To be fair, I would see why. Arch isn't that hard to install anymore so some people see Arch-based distros that are just Arch with GUI installer as useless. I use EndeavourOS just because GUI installer is more convinient to me.

Endeavour is objectively better than plain Arch, this list is incredibly subjective.

[-] WallEx@feddit.de 32 points 8 months ago

This looks like a bunch of BS

[-] vikingtons@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

tier listing distros is such a Linux community thing to do. Wish we'd get past it.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 26 points 8 months ago

Have you actually tried Manjaro or do you just listen to what other people say about it? I find it has no issues and have been daily driving it for like 3 years now. Just because something has negative hype doesn't mean it's as terrible as people say.

I personally don't understand why anyone would put endeavour os in "why"

[-] femboy_bird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 8 months ago

I've heard people say that because you can just install arch, which misses the point of endeavorOS

exactly - that's like saying "it's pointless to order omelette in a restaurant when you can just buy eggs at the store" - very insightful, thanks!

This website has a good summary of the problems with manjaro https://manjarno.pages.dev/ . I've used it too and it's usable from a user perspective, but it has so many underlying issues

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

I'm fully aware of the issues, but they've never impacted me personally and I'm not much of a distrohopper. If it ever borks my PC I'll probably switch.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago

Based on that, it has been over 464 days since the last fuck-up. Sounds good to me.

[-] Sina@beehaw.org 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I tried many times, though not recently and I agree with it being worse than just redundant. Sure, it's usable and maintainable, but it's objectively a bad idea.

You can just run vanilla arch, or one of the installers like Endeavor OS and just use BTRFS snapshots to counter breakages instead of Manjaro's delay thing managed by people I just cannot take very seriously.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 24 points 8 months ago

Oh good, astrology for Linux, just what we needed. 🙄

[-] Frederic@beehaw.org 12 points 8 months ago

I don't really care, for me "linux" is a kernel, a bunch of gnu utilities, and I take Xfce as desktop. I can use firefox? an editor? cmake? gcc? I'm in business.

All distros are the same. The main diff is apt/yum/pacman/etc. to distribute packages.

Tf does "modern" mean

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

Your meme belongs in the bottom two tiers.

You did ask for honest!

[-] 0xtero@beehaw.org 3 points 8 months ago

Haha, nice troll

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

Look at this guy putting debian in typical

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

the fuck is modern, special, and typical

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
