🔦 Arch docker container running on Ubuntu. 🔦

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I don't know why I'd run Arch containers on Ubuntu. I can already get the latest software via Snap and Docker. 🫰

You are the monster we were warned as kids!

[-] Puzzlehead@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

No pun intended

[-] Sizably8826@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

yep go ahead and neg this comment Arch people

[-] minh2134@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You could do a better attention seeking job than this

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't really call it stable, more just stable enough

[-] loffiz@vlemmy.net 5 points 1 year ago

I recommend Evdeavouros instead of Manjaro ;)

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I ran Slackware as my daily driver for almost two years

Why? ...How?

[-] LordTE7R1S@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

I've been running slackware as my main os since 94. I was never able to get really used to any other Linux distro and I saw them all. I run it in my home pc, in my work servers, my work notebook. Best distro ever.

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I see you're into BDSM.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

In the late 90s I ditched redhats crappy package system and used slackware until I got better internet than dialup, after that I switched to Debian based. But slackware still has a star in my book!

[-] emi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I use Arch btw........in a distrobox inside ubuntu.

[-] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile me with OpenSuse Thumbleweed ...

[-] Lamy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Subtle way to call manjaro users gay

[-] SharpMaxwell@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

i use archinstall btw....

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol everyone knows nixos is the latest in disto high fashion

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I use Fedora btw. It'll never go out of fashion, Cos it's never been in fashion

[-] vlad76@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I got my merit badge after setting it up once. That's enough for me.

[-] Magusbear@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I never used Manjaro or Arch (I am a fedora user). Can someone please explain the joke?

[-] denast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Arch takes a lot of manual configuration to make it work, hence providing some bragging rights about using it. Manjaro is a fork that has your typical GUI user-frienly installer that does everything for you, therefore you "proudly using arch" has no substance as you did zero work.

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder why I keep getting the advice to use Arch, then? Everyone on the Linux forum questions me using fedora and says arch makes more sense and is easier.

[-] minh2134@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because Manjaro isnt exactly as it seems. Sometimes it's the worst of both worlds. I wont deny that it is convenient but (Rant alert) : The idea of delay Arch packages for testing seems nice at first, until you take in the fact Manjaro will have to push some of the packages out before that period for e.g: security reasons, while some might take longer. The thing is, upstream Arch repo is designed to work together only on the packages upstream version, and as per Archwiki said, partial upgrade is highly unrecommended, and it is not uncommon to update your manjarobox and everything went smoothly, until you reboot and fallen into a dependency hell. Sometimes it can cause serious security issues. And with that in mind, the AUR also works with the assumption that you are on Arch's upstream packages, not Manjaro one, and well, dont need to tell you how it can cause problems down the line.

If you want a good convenient no "nerd" fuss distros, I recommend Pop!OS, Mint, or even Debian. If you really want to use AUR (trust me it's not as special as most expect, you generally only want to go there when you must) and really don't wanna use Arch, there's projects like Antergos, Artix,... that have much more sane approach.

I acknowledge tho that I 100% believe Manjaro users can get perfectly stable experience, and these things I mentioned had never be inside their scope. It's just you can get very similar experience with better management even in Arch-derived space, so why not go for those instead?

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

It's the latest craze among the DIY Linux crowd. Like what gentoo used to be. It has a very opinionated fanbase so they will advertise whenever they see an opening. Hence the "I use arch "btw meme

[-] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Is it really the latest craze? Arch seems to be about as popular/controversial as it was when I first tried it in 2014.

Obligatory disclaimer: I still use Arch, btw :^)

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

So 2014 is around when I dropped off the whole linux hobbyist boards. Which is why it's "the latest" for me anyway

[-] Mopswasser@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Manjaro is a fork of Arch with the aim to provide a good out-of-the-box experience.

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Disgusting...

[-] lemminer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No love for Gentoo...

[-] BigTed@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lmao I feel personally attacked

[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Long live EndeavourOS.

[-] cfx_4188@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ex0dus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

This post was in lemmy.world which is extremely overloaded at the moment

[-] Wizza@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Drun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] cincinmasukmangkok@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Lights off: I use Arch BTW Lights on: I installed Arch using archinstall BTW

[-] WhiteBlackGoose@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago
