Trve Arch users don't remember their install process.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Can confirm. Install once and it lives forever until the hardware dies or is replaced.

No big difference between those two methods of install. You get the real medal when a random upgrade breaks some software and you are able to track down the issue and corresponding solution(s).

[-] superbirra@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

is installing debian an acceptable solution(s)? :D

[-] hottari@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months ago

It is if that's what you are comfortable with.

I'm a big proponent of using tools you already know how to use, so long as you aren't making things needlessly harder for yourself by doing so

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Shout out to Julia from Drawfee on youtube for the bottom art. It's Bobby.

[-] match@pawb.social 21 points 10 months ago

No!! Julia!! That's Bobby Hill??

The room full of vampires?

I came looking for your comment. Julia birthed a meme

Yo Arch users. Try daily driving Linux From Scratch. I dare ya. Let's see what you're really made of.

[-] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

Been there. Done that.

[-] NominatedNemesis@reddthat.com 14 points 10 months ago

Endeavour Os was the best thing I ever used. Easy to install, out of box is minimal but sufficient. I traded my Linux Mint to be able to customize my workflow, look and feel.

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 3 points 10 months ago

I used it for a while too before I learned about archinstall. eOS has a great community though. I use their forum to look for answers often

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Is that Bobby Hill?!

[-] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I never had success with archinstall, just the regular installation.

It's kinda weird, actually.

[-] resketreke@kbin.social 12 points 10 months ago

I use EndeavourOS and it works without issues.

[-] NominatedNemesis@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

Jeee EOS gang!

[-] ashe@lemmy.starless.one 11 points 10 months ago

idk why, but everytime I try archinstall it breaks in one way or another. I'm sure it works perfectly well for everyone else, I'm just cursed

note: not seeking advice, I prefer my manually installed FDE + secureboot EFISTUB setup anyways

I was going through some stuff and installing Arch from scratch was the only way I could feel anything at all.

Every now and then I see that laptop and think "I should keep going and install those power management scripts ". Then I think "nah".

[-] xarexyouxmadx@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I don't use Arch but if I did id probably go with archinstall. I don't see the point in going from scratch unless you absolutely need to. I could care less about bragging rights for installing an operating system lol.

[-] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I just don't bother going for archinstall when regular installation "from scratch" takes 5 minutes (or 15, if you do it the first time). It is not scary and extremely simple, contrary to memes. Besides, it makes you understand the processes involved.

Archinstall is just a little, nice helper to shorten and simplify installation even more.

[-] people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You mean "couldn't care less". The way you've written it means that you do care a bit since you "could care less".

built as in "made the os"? If so, then yes they probably cried a lot those damn wizards

[-] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

I still install manually just out of habit

[-] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

archinstall is actually good now though I've used it

[-] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

The new / rewritten arch install is fantastic. The btrfs layout, with encryption, really nice experience and end result.

[-] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 6 points 10 months ago

NixOS is the new Arch.. (cat, meet pigeons) Unfortunately It doesn't have as much basic training as Arch did (which archinstall obviates, not that I think this is a bad thing, it's time is here), which did so much to improve community. Unfortunately NixOS's doco is woeful, while ArchWiki is gold standard.

I say this as an ex Arch type who moved to Fedora, now ublue-kinoite, waiting for Nix to mature enough to daily (although I do have a T440p with 3 boot drives not doing much, hmm)...

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

NixOS is the new Arch..

Yeah nah, arch has an actual use case for normal users - it's just the same old Linux with the most recent packages.

Nix and guix simply don't work as distros for regular people. They're made for scientific and corporate applications. They add a huge amount of complexity in order to solve problems you don't have.

Nixos is like rust: hyped into the stratosphere by people who don't use it

I'm running guix in fedora as a PM. You get most of the benefits, and can still use other PM's like npm without crying for a week first. Although imo guix works better in that scenario since you can just "guix install X" and then use X like any other binary.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I just installed Fedora (I've been a Linux used for 7 years)

I tried so many distros in the last decade, but I recently had to start with a fresh setup again and I went with Linux Mint. I think it's the most underestimated workhorse you can get. Everything just works, tons of help online if you need it and instead of tweaking it forever you just get work done.

[-] midnight@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

I don't think anyone underestimates Linux Mint. It's pretty widely considered one of the best distros out there.

Those of us who choose Arch do so for the software selection, and because we like tweaking the os :)
