One of the unexpected boons of using Ubuntu is that there are fewer zealots. If I say it sucks, nobody gets offended. Actually, I think more people get offended if you say that Ubuntu doesn't suck.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 36 points 3 weeks ago

I'm offended that you suggested that Ubuntu may or may not suck

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The great thing about debian is that I get to be elitest because I'm using a main branch distro AND I get all the handholding, begging for help the Ubuntu and Mint guys wrote online when suffering the same stupid noob shit I'm going through.

EDIT : Because you know, KDE has really poor options support so I'm constantly digging around to change basic configs /s

EDIT 2 : I'm keeping that typo, it makes me seem extra stupid

I might be biased but there could simply be some degree of objective assessment involved... *~~spitting~~ looking at you snap*

oh yeah, I enabled that too. it's peak(man)

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 3 weeks ago

Arch users like to feel smart for making their own life hard. pacman somehow managed to create an interface even less intuitive than APT and people act like it's a god-given gift.

Yes this is ragebait feel free to bite

[-] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

You know that there is an easier way to use pacman? Right??

Pacman --upgrade/--sync/--remove/etc.

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

Idk man, how about pacman install. Why are core functionalities behind flags. And what does syncing have to do with installing a package. It just don't sit right with me

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sync with the repo, no?

[-] squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi 15 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, but have you heard about the good things pacman -Syu can do for you?

[-] psilotop@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Can someone help explain the meme? I know what pacman -Syu does (I use arch btw) but I actually don't know why this would be a meme.

[-] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

"Arch isn't a difficult distro! All you need to do is run pacman -Syu now and then! Even my grandma could handle it!"

(Which is true until something goes wrong and now you're way more on the hook to un-fuck the system than just about anything that could ever go wrong on a Debian or Fedora based distro)

[-] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Eh. Admittedly, my experience with non-rolling distros is old, but I'd rather take "something minor breaks every couple weeks" over "I tried upgrading the system and now I can't even get working shell commands if I chroot over from a live USB".

Admittedly, that was when I tried upgrading to Fedora Core 5 (or was it upgrading from there?), so ancient history.

[-] psilotop@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Ah I gotcha. People are saying it will fix everything.

I actually do use Arch, I played with distros for years and settled on Manjaro for a while. I'm rethinking that choice since they let their certs expire for the second time....

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 16 points 3 weeks ago

Second? No, no, no, ... They're way past that number.

[-] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Now there are three of them!

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

pacman -Syuuuuu

Suck it, mirrors.

[-] statelesz@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

I use yay, btw.

[-] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 7 points 3 weeks ago

arch users hate it when you use gui for some reason

[-] Slashme@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm currently an Ubuntu user, and the thought of using a GUI for package management is so foreign to me.
