>>fg-38207C8A 2nd for arch
I''ve been using Ubuntu for a year now and I''ve been thinking of trying out other Linux distros. I''ve tried Linux Mint and that''s pretty good. But how about Manjaro or Arch? What''s the difference between the two? I''m thinking of installing either one on an old Dell PC.
>>fg-F4AD2E9G If you''re ready to dive in head first arch is a learn experience. You will build your system from the ground up, but it takes time and patience. Manjaro is a prebuilt arch that should be avoided. Devs are dramatic cancer.
>>fg-CFG648E8 Okay, I''ll try out Arch Linux. I was wondering what kind of cool features Arch has over others.
this and whatever the M1 mini runs out of the box
>>fg-306FC64D >cool features Its the lack of features that make it cool, you build it yourself, that''s why it''s cool. If you want a distro with lots of neat features try out elementary os, now there''s some features. Fedora is also very good if you want something that just werks.
>>fg-306FC64D
kubuntu
deno linux, some ubuntu rip but it started configed the way i like, good shit
>>fg-8AFF7D6G Is there a learning curve in using Fedora? I've used Mint and Ubuntu but I was wondering if the user experience is the same with Fedora.
>>fg-5GB42578 Fedora is plug and play, very simple.
>>fg-44A5E6C5 Correction KDE Plasma sucks ass Installed Ubuntu desktop packages.
>>fg-5GB42578 you really don't learn fedora. youu just bend over and take it from RH.
>>fg-374771FE (OP) Gentoo
I use windows on my desktop because muh gaymes, and manjaro on my laptop because it just werkz starts up instantly and extends my rather pitiful 7-year-old battery's life
Pop OS because i have a system76 laptop and that's what it came with and it's comfy and just werks.
anyone take the guix pill? im tempted to give it try, any advice? is it a meme?
>> dude RMS has never supported gentoo he's actually spoken out against it, due to it's recommendation of nonfree software in the past
>>fg-0AFMSY0V There is basically no software in the main repos. Other than that it's like a comfier nix (lisp ftw)
KISS Linux k1sslinux.org Sadly the only maintainer left, but community took on the role of keeping it updated. Any word on Dylan would be nice.

I've been running Haiku on my laptop for the past month or so and I'm really hyped about it. Personal operating systems are the way to go. Fucking around with users and permissions is such a chore when all my systems are single user. There are only two types of files: my files and system files. >>fb-7621185E → I would not reccomend it as a first distro but it's really not so hard. Just read the wiki for use flags and kernel configs and you'll be fine. It's just a lot of reading and waiting, the autism is pretty minimal.
>>fg-AZY96QKG damn based haiku chad. i hear its extremely comfy, but very insecure. do you daily drive it or plan to?
>>fg-OQN5TWZP I use it when I can but the proliferation of the web and the lack of a chromium/firefox port means it can't be your only OS. It's got Qt5, python3, quite a bit of software ported to it though. It's almost there, just cucked by web 5.0 or whatever we're supposed to be on now. Also the drivers suck, wifi is slow as shit, thermals are terrible, and I get ghost images from the god-awful video drivers. I love it though.
>>fg-EK3V3CCE they should just make a DE. it'd be perfect and easier to maintain
>>fg-NQ95KFIK The DE is probably the least exciting part of Haiku, I could care less about that. Slapping a Haiku face on the Linux kernel wouldn't really achieve anything.
>>fg-A3PXX0BJ huh, i thought it'd be a big part of it, plus the windows system and all. does it have any cool kernel features?
>>fg-2UBICSGC I'm not much of a kernel hacker, but what I like about it are things like the filesystem structure and the responsiveness of it. It's actually hard to believe how snappy it is until you try it yourself, the UI is more responsive on that machine than on more powerful hardware running the same programs under linux. Even terminal emulators are noticeably more responsive. I don't know how it works because it's the same code running on both machines, something about how process priories are handled I'm guessing.
Install Gentoo :D
>>fg-OBCE6233 I've heard its aggressively paralelyzed, so that it feels snappy, it is quite nice
i'm on arch, i've considered giving gentoo a try, but at the same time I've put so much config into stuff on my current install that I don't really want to throw it all away
>>fg-020OKK60 i was gonna make fun of you for falling for the 16GB meme, but how do you manage to use 8GB of RAM?
>>fg-C9MMRD0M I had quite a few things running, I believe I had virtualbox with Whonix open when I took this, so that's probably why.
