Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.

I use NixOS btw

Meanwhile in Gentoo: Still compiling.

Oh wait: binpkgs, update is done and I don’t have look at NixOS anymore. [=

Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.

To every arch meme action, there is an arch user overreaction.

It’s what makes it fun.

Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.

Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.

If you actually want to use your machine, keeping the machine from nuking itself shouldn’t be a hobby on its own. I need a reliable platform to work on, not a minefield on a fault line.

Don’t know what you’ve been using but I sure wouldn’t describe Arch as any of that. Once things are setup, I’ve extremely rarely run into issues that I didn’t cause myself.

“That I didn’t cause myself” is basically self-gaslighting. Using a system in exactly the way it’s supposed to be used shouldn’t cause any issues. Regular updates shouldn’t cause issues. Sure, it can happen, but it shouldn’t be the norm.

Sometimes nuking and resetting up is faster than fixing the problem.

Seems more like an opportunity to learn then if that’s the case. Fixing things has almost never taken me longer than a full reinstall.

Having a button to reinstall would make it even faster. Or at least a rollback button

The only mistake I can remember not being mine, was with GRUB, in which grub-install installed stuff in a different way than what was already installed by EndaeavourOS beforehand, meaning that the default options didn’t work well.

Of course, there might have been an eos application which was supposed to be used for that.

Otherwise, whenever systems broke, they were my own doing, sometimes explicitly.

It’s not so bad. You just have to sacrifice a goat to the waxing moon while capricorn is ascending.

Enuf with the Arch hate already…

Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

And no I don’t use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.

Sad that this is neither a haiku nor a poem. But I still agree.

Enough with the Arch hate, already!
Arch admins just want code sans spaghetti!
Debian, Fedora, guess they can be cool…
But us Arch users don’t need no ‘installer tool’

We all know the Arch wiki’s amazin’,
(but at the risk of some minor noob hazin’)
If you can’t get far with their great AUR
Then Mint might be more where you are

Now as much as it pains me to say
There’s no Arch on my box, by the way
Manjaro’s OS has been my fave for years
(To be honest Arch leaves many in tears)

That can absolutely qualify as a poem.
