i don't recommend Arch smh

I never liked Arch tbh

Gotta sudo pacman -S btw to get the btw packages

Many people do seem to like Arch fwiw

At least Windows appears user friendly. Arch otoh is quite hard to set up the first time.

I mean, does anyone even use Arch irl?

I like it, but it certainly isn’t for everyone.

Wow, I kinda need to update... I've been stuck on outdated Arch afaik

Linux newbies shouldn't use Arch imho

I'm actually disappointed this isn't a real package. https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=btw

It is the transfem version of arch (boy to woman)

I know right? I also checked earlier, I was like.. at least 40% sure that there probably was some weird niche utility with that acronym, but evidently not :3

I use Arch btw btw

Not to be confused with Arch Bitch to Witch.

Ever since the rsync debacle, I'm afraid of updating my installation of Arch lmao

You need at least 10000000 good boy points for that one.

Arch BTW BTW.

Not really. You can use archinstall. And the guide is quite clear; I'd say it's more time consuming the first time than actually hard.

Like any DIY project; some love it, some hate it, some would prefer something that was already set up for them.

So what, it's different from Arch smh

Tab? Can’t give you a tab unless you order something.

Someone needs to make an install script that just does that!

This might have actually happened.
When I first got a computer I had to put some OS on it. I've heard of this thing called Linux, and found about distributions. BUT, "flavors of Linux" was a terrible description.
I wanted the original.
Just pure Linux, nothing else. No Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, no, just pure Linux and nothing else than Linux.

I kept searching for that for quite a while. Kernel? I didn't even know what a partition was.

Am I the only one who reads smh as 'somehow'? I know it stands for shake my head, but in my mind it always expands to 'somehow'. Am I weird?

i concur, but a lot of people do start out with Arch afaict

I thought it meant "something" until I used it with my wife and was corrected

sydney morning herald my head

Lol yeah I can see how that can be confusing. I was introduced to Ubuntu early as a student through lab PCs, so I just assumed people just said linux, when they meant Ubuntu Linux. Nowadays I use Arch btw

There is this one: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/buildbtw/

Press the power button

i guess that is a problem of many open source projects, in particular when they define a standard so that there are different apps with a variety of names. e.g. the server implementation of mumble used to be called murmur, or the "mainstream" client of matrix is element.

Someone should add -b, -t and -w flags to the Archinstall script

I think it's okay to start with arch BYMMV

I had a similar but different experience. My first in-person introduction to Linux was Ubuntu via some training for a job. When the class referred to it as Linux, our instructor would tell us “Technically it’s Ubuntu, not Linux” so I thought Ubuntu was an entirely separate OS that I had just never heard of before

Arch is a practical joke played on Linux users that got completely out of hand

I've seen this, here is when you point at a random key and tell them that the "any" key is that one.
Back then when using a computer at work was still rather uncommon you could tell them it was the K and some used that key for years.

Genuinely can't tell if you're missing the joke or you're just committed to playing the straight man.

I use arch BMW

Oh I found it... btw 😂

jeez this is hard. Where's my Tab?

Btw! How has your experience with it been!?

no as of right of this moment i started reading it as Shaking My How

I tried, but mine still just says it's Arch lmao.
