@dushman so when will you evolve to the last stage?

1. Dude that evolves from a simpleton who uses easy linux distro, to one who rages if someone doesn't use arch or gentoo and finally goes back to use easy distros

  @meso @raccoon @dushman @dcc I've never had audio problems with manjaro (but apparently uninstalling pulse is the fastest way to fix any audio issue on linux), but I have managed to brick it ~5 times. Never bricked artix, never bricked arch.

  @Zergling_man @dcc @dushman @raccoon Manjaro was so shit, it was the first non-Debian-based distro I tried and the sound was broken and everything. No such issues with Arch, that never happened there

  @raccoon @dcc @dushman Yeah I think the first distro I tried was ubuntu. Put it on a laptop I was using for uni work (lol), started system upgrade on uni wifi then had to sleep it and go catch the bus, and the thing corrupted itself.
  I think I installed xubuntu next, then swapped to steamos (mistakes), and at some point I asked the guy who had been poking me to try it for a new recommendation, he said manjaro, and I've been using arch family stuff since. It just fucking werks.

  I won't deny that ubuntu was the first linux distro I found when I was like... 16 maybe? And I did start with that. Man the default UI got so much worse.

  @Zergling_man @dcc @dushman @raccoon @meso Speaking of which, macOS is probably the most hacked-together (idk how to put it) *nix out there. It ships a MySQL user by default for whatever reason and labels all network interfaces as eth# despite what they actually are. It still ships GNU stuff from like 2007 lmao.

  @eric @meso @raccoon @dushman @dcc You can have a bug-free distro, just call all behaviour intentional. Works for Apple.

  @meso@the.asbestos.cafe @raccoon@den.raccoon.quest @dcc@annihilation.social @Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith most bug-free distroI use Arch and Artix and this is not true lmao. The issues are usually pretty minor and easy to fix provided you are familiar with unix, most people aren't.

  People who use arch thinking it's a super difficult distro: I use arch btw 😎
  People who know it's not that hard: I use it because it's easy

  Sometimes I'm tempted to try "harder" distros but there's many things I wanna learn and I feel like a new distro wouldn't be as interesting for me compared to the other things, and my free time isn't as much as I'd like so I should have priorities.

  @raccoon @dcc @dushman My main problem with cleaning up with pacman is that at some point I managed to fuck up package explicit/dep listings.

  A lot of programs are just not perfect, I've gotten quite used to that and the best option is to just use what sucks in a way you can find acceptable.
  Yeah your issues with apt are not wrong or anything but personally it's just not problems that give me issues.
  At the moment I'm using artix though and I miss how simple it is to just clean shit with apt, removing orphan and cleaning up with pacman is a bit silly but an alias can solve the issue so, meh.

  @raccoon @dcc @dushman Yeah that's fair enough.
  These days my main complaint with that family is just how much ass apt sucks and how much ass the package names suck. "python" still refers to python2!
  And then half the time you name the package you want and it doesn't exist because you have to specify the version number too, instead of just doing it the sane way of allowing you to put version conditions on packages. (Except I think apt *does* allow that, so go fucking figure.)
  My complaint with apt is that every time you try to use dpkg for anything it recommends using apt for "user-friendly package management" except half the package-related operations I want to perform simply don't exist in apt; like looking for which binaries or systemdicks files a package provides.

  Back when I used ubuntu it worked just fine. I installed it on my dad's computer too and he happily used it for ages until he had to use I don't remember what kinda bullshit that only ran on windows (I failed to make it run under wine). I think I moved to debian next.

  @raccoon @Zergling_man @dcc @meso @dushman I stopped recommending Mint when I noticed just how bad their security practices were.
  
  They're slightly better now, but I'm still not impressed.

  I wouldn't say it's the easiest, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who never used linux before and can barely use a computer.
  I tend to direct those to mint.
  INB4 people raging at that.
