Despite the memes, Arch isn’t that hard to install nowadays. The Wiki is stellar and archinstall is a thing (as well as EndeavourOS).
But Debian testing is a fine choice as well, of course.

15·1 year agoOuter Wilds had so many profound moments, imho. Just listing a couple more:
Spoilers, obviously
- The core of the interloper
- The dead Nomai in Dark Bramble (two of them in an embrace, iirc)
- The messages from other Nomai tribes in the Vessel
- Having to remove the warp core from the ATP
- The number of loop iterations in the probe tracking module
- The ending of the DLC
171·1 year agoIn my experience, once you’ve got Arch set up, it less work to maintain than Manjaro. On Arch, you have noticeably more frequent, but smaller, package updates. On Manjaro, compatibility issues with the AUR may occur, which happened a few times for me, while that won’t happen on Arch.
Of course, one doesn’t have to install Arch manually; archiso and Endeavour are great conveniences and exist for a reason.
That doesn’t change the fact that people who rely on those tools not because they want to save some time/effort but because they’re unable to follow wiki instructions are likely better off with something other than Arch.
And if one is not able to install Arch using
archinstall, then they should question themselves if Arch is even the right distro for them.Without wanting to be elitist, I’d go further than that. While archinstall is a nice convenience, even the “manual” installation is really just diligently reading and following the wiki guide.
If that’s too much for you, you’re likely going to struggle when stuff needs manual intervention and you’re probably better off with a different distro.
Is “I use zsh, btw.” a thing yet?
Doesn’t prevent the initial crash, of course, but there won’t be one on the next boot.
What distros are there that have drive encryption but don’t require decrypting the drive while booting? Isn’t LUKS pretty much the standard disk encryption for all Linux distributions?
I’ve seen some organisations move from CentOS to Rocky Linux.
Fwiw, OpenStreetMap is pretty amazing
Yes, it’s usually still available, but systemd timers are the more “modern” way, which is why distros like Arch use them by default:
There are many cron implementations, but none of them are installed by default as the base system uses systemd/Timers instead
but it will make the planet a lot less habitable for humans.
And, unfortunately, for a wide range of other species.
No. Both CUPS and Netflix work perfectly fine for me on Arch.
You’re probably confusing it with Alpine.
