I don’t use Arch BTW
I don’t use Arch tbh, or Arche afaik.
I’m waiting for the Arch LTS edition.
it’s the only thing that comes pre-bundled w Arch (btw) and you can’t get rid of it.
Please someone create a BTW fork of Arch. Then people can say “I use Arch BTW BTW”
I’m shocked it hasn’t been done already.
There is a “I use arch btw” programming language though…
Has to be shitpost right?
Of course, but someone should keep it going anyway by making an actual fork of arch called arch btw.
I use arch BMW
Arch is a practical joke played on Linux users that for committee out of hand
Someone should add
-b,-tand-wflags to the Archinstall scriptor --btw
it should install nothing but the least installed package in pacman
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.
I LOVE the idea of flavours. I always add a bit of Linux mint to my rum distribution for a good Linux mojito.
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.
And I guess that’s the opposite problem that for-profit products have, so desperate to maximize every marketing dollar that every fucking thing has the same name in it even if it’s a fundamentally different product.
Microsoft Outlook is the poster child of this in the software space.
Not one of the 80 different Copilots?
I got away from Microsoft two years ago, so my references are out of date.
Just like microsoft’s software paradigms!
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
Btw! How has your experience with it been!?
I really like it so far. Using it on my laptop as a learning experience. Won’t be the end of the world if I seriously mess it up or something breaks. Got timeshift installed and have all dotfiles backed up with etckeeper and chezmoi. Also have a list of packages backed up, so I’m feeling confident I can readily set it up again from scratch if need be
I still use bazzite on my gaming PC since I need it to just work and just launch my games, but that might change as I get more experienced.
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
Someone needs to make an install script that just does that!
Arch BTW BTW.
Reddit post and [Deleted] user name a more iconic duo
Donald and Jeffrey
You need at least 10000000 good boy points for that one.
Ever since the rsync debacle, I’m afraid of updating my installation of Arch lmao
