This guy is kidding, do not listen to this guy. If you are a beginner and want arch use cachyOS

[-] syreus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

And if you are a beginner and don't want arch , use nobara.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Do people get Arch as their first distro and succeed in using it?

[-] Stiggyman@ani.social 9 points 2 days ago

Depends alot on the person

I went straight to arch but i also program and system admin so.. I dont feel hurt having to read

[-] ekky@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

Unless we're talking SteamOS or similar, then it just sounds like disaster waiting to happen.

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Some do. Not many.

[-] prole 5 points 2 days ago

EndeavourOS was my first, but not the same as naked Arch I guess

[-] homes@piefed.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Pfft, amateur. My first was some version of red hat (2? 2.1?) that took me almost a week to download, then I had to compile it, and then load onto, like, eight floppies.

I can’t even tell you how many attempts I made before I actually succeeded in getting it to install, but it was one of the more traumatic experiences of my teenage years.

[-] Dultas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Slack 2 or 3 here I couldn't get it to install because it didn't have CD ROM drivers that worked with mine. Little did teenage me know I could have just copied the disk images to floppies but neither the sound or CD would have worked. I actually just installed it on a VM in Proxmox a couple weeks ago though. Now my windows 3.11 can telnet into my slack 2.3 box because why not.

Slackware 1.0 was at least 1-2 years later and a huge leap forward. Even Red Hat 2.5 was a major leap because it was the first Linux distributable that was pre-compiled and feee to download. It was also bundled with X.org and gnome desktop. That was a big deal at the time. The open source community was very political, even back then.

So far arch is my first and only distro. I moved to linux a year ago and decided to just jump in with Arch. I havent had any major issues.

[-] mr_anny@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

I don't know. I did.

[-] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

My college roommate told me to wipe my os and install arch not thinking I would do it but I did, and that was 14 years ago. It's a fun experience but these days I just wanna throw a fedora ublue distro on stuff and use that.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Mint sucks. Zorin or Bazzite, cachyOS

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Mint is lovely. You're a tool.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That's what you spent your energy on, and is the best you could come up with? Your mother is ashamed of you. I'd argue you're the tool for now knowing how to use anything else but mint, fucking waste of oxygen you are.

I'm allowed to have a different opinion, I'm not your mother and don't have to love you.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

It sounds like you spent more energy on this than they did on calling you a tool. And you're the one getting upset about someone having a different opinion. Your whole comment is projection.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago
[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Such an eloquent response. Where do you get your comebacks, from xitter?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago

You can have your personal preference, but Mint is fantastic. Especially for switching from windows, but not only.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
[-] volore@scribe.disroot.org 4 points 2 days ago

Blasphemy, Mint is amazing.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Zorin user here. As far as Linux goes, Zorin is good. Mint is also good.
