Skill issue
Sometimes picking your distro is kinda like picking your difficulty level.
arch is easier if you have some linux skills though, because of the awesome wiki
no i meant arch becomes easier than beginner distros when you have the base knowledge
I mean that’s true for a lot of things, even if it took effort to learn how to do something it can make doing certain other things easier. Like learning to use the command line is certainly more effort than not doing it, but it also makes so many things so much easier once you can. Or learning to ride a bicycle takes effort, but once you know it’s way easier than walking to the store.
I’m so glad my laptop has on board Intel graphics next to the nVidia stuff. Ignoring nVidia has made my life so much easier.
Ive never had my DE uninstall after an arch update. Genuinely had no idea that was a problem for anyone until i saw that meme
Yeah, here’s the original meme: https://lemmy.world/post/12825315
One time, on endeavour, Xorg stopped working for some reason after an update. Had to look up how to manually switch to wayland, adding to the tower of ducttape that is my system.
Eventually it’ll all come apart and you’ll be forced to do it right :3 ^.^
In other news, GRUB is actually installed properly on this system now 😅 Dunno how the thing was even booting, to be honest.
Also, welcome to Way-land!
Or I’ll switch to Fedora because I don’t have the time to maintain my own system.
The NVIDIA drivers getting removed during an update has happened to me THREE times in the last 3 months. In that same time frame I saw an LTT video where they had the same problem, and now this meme with the same problem again. What the actual heck is going on here? I just run the system update command and it says it has to uninstall the drivers due to some conflict with a system package. Then it reboots to the screen in the right image above. Im still trying different distros and configurations but it’s almost enough to make me give up. As lame as windows is I can at least expect an update not to completely brick my system (most of the time).
Every operating system sucks. It’s just that they differ in what aspects they suck in.
Here’s a list of operating systems that suck:
