omg people really talking about installing gentoo ittDicky B posted:lol if you're too dumb to check arch news before pacman -Syu. like do you not learn lessons ever it's time for this "blame the user" mentality to die so the package tells you that you need to make changes, but isn't it the package maintainer's responsibility to take care of that for me, especially since the new default configuration is COMPLETELY USELESS FOR EVERYONE also maybe waiting until AFTER i've installed the package to tell me that I'm going to be spending the next half hour reading man pages and manually patching all my machines is wrong. if packages can output text post-install, why not pre-install when its doing all that package checking, etc Mr Dog posted:if u actually continue to use arch you deserve everything you get i haven't tried it lately but it was hecka bad last time and arch was the easiest thing to set up that also allowed me to with bleeding edge stuff. that may be different today but i'm not going to go distro hopping just to find out.

If one of the main goals of Arch is to keep things simple, then releasing an update that stops your machine from running at all does make things simpler. Working as intended, won't fix. I have one pc at home that I run Arch on, because it is a rather slow cheap pc from about a decade ago that still runs fine for what I wanted it for. Nothing else I considered was easily configurable enough. I'd never run it in production, probably easiest to use RHEL for that.

It taught me what I needed to know about linux, to use an OSX

hell, i think my most shameful moment was using gentoo, with some distributed compiling deal, in order to use 2 labs full of sparcstations for all the compilation. fun fact, while i did not use kde a friend did, kde would not distributed compile and took overnight to compile.

i once put a linux on my main machine and got pretty comfy using it, I liked the desktop cube and everything worked. then one day a popup helpfully suggested that I might want to upgrade my distro by clicking yes and after that everything was hosed to a point where I said gently caress it and reinstalled windows 7. at work when I started they asked me do you want a windows workstation or a linux one. i said windows right away.
