I agree with this. I can see the use for openbsd when running servers, but as a desktop, no. With a practical approach to security, even a windows 95 system that's not been updated for years would beat openbsd in protecting data. Since my approach to security is practical, I have no need for all the nice security features openbsd offers(desktop related). As previously mentioned, it is by far the most secure system for servers connected to the internet. I use it for that, but I am not acting smug about it or feeling superior to people who run linux servers. Like OP does

>mfw my first computer had windows 98
>mfw i installed linux on it when i was 9 years old and never switched back

KDE 1 was the shit, man. It was much superior to Windows 98, I was impressed by how good it actually was. Only thing that bothered me was the task bar separated from the main menu bar.

Fuck, I miss having to partition the disc using fdisk because my autism didn't like something in the "graphical" (ncurses-like) partitioner.

My first distro was Conectiva Linux, which would be later be bought by MandrakeSoft and become Mandriva Linux. I remember installing it in a friend's friend's computer, he actually liked it all his Windows games worked on Wine.

Then when Mandriva stopped getting updates, I kept switching between openSUSE and Fedora, the former being my favourite for its stability, availability of packages and ease of use, until I finally stuck to it. I have never needed to use a command line for system maintenance on openSUSE. Never ever.

I have tried BSDs, Solaris, Ubanto, but found nothing interesting on them. I even tried a hackintosh but failed.

I bought a business class laptop that came with Gentoo once (actually my sister bought it and I borrowed it sometimes becuase I only had a hueg 17 inch laptop that didn't fit in my bag), it just worked so I couldn't be bothered to install openSUSE. Until I needed to install something and it took ages compiling just to fail in the end. Fuck Gentoo and fuck the retards at Itautec who decided it would be a good idea to sell business laptops with Gentoo preinstalled.


So, why should I install your BSD shit, OP?

Good for you, install KDE components without the massive meta package and see it break when 5 hits... It's a matter of just because something hasn't gone wrong for you doesn't mean it can't/hasn't for other people... The poor dependency resolution in pacman makes it even more likely to cause issues with updates. True, you can use it for years with no problem, I'm glad you have.
True, but at least unofficial repos can be integrated into the actual package manager in most.

people bitch about the install but it's easy as pie.


the annoying thing about arch is that they test little and shit is often buggy.

just for shits and giggles, compare /r/ubuntu with /r/archlinux

not to say ubuntu doesn't have some issues either, but not rolling release type issues.

too new libs, forgotten pacnews, broken aur packages. shit's annoying when you depend on stuff to work. and yea, some of this is easily fixed, but it's about time and knowhow.


it's an awesome distro though, but these days i prefer something ootb, since you can do the same shit on any distro.

check out antergos, which seems to be the pefect blend. nice ootb setup with vanilla arch. i've yet to do a metal trial but in a vm it's nice so far.

>>42887235
Every other popular distro provides the function just fine. Not saying if it's right or wrong, but the initial question was WHY people disliked Arch... There are reasons, things it differs from other distros on, inconveniences beyond 'lol xorg break'.

>>42887201

well i wouldn't say it's poor dependency handling, as pacman seems to be great at removing dependencies, but the fact that the maintainers like to keep very lean dependencies. so if it's not required to work, it's an optdepends. this this often becomes annoying when you need to install another bunch of packages by hand to get the expected functionality.

>>42887299
Possibly. I suppose that is inevitable in a distro that follows such a stringent philosophy rather than looks at users needs and adapts to them. I just didn't like having a package work properly/pull everything it should have to get proper functionality maybe 65% of the time as opposed to 100%.

I run gentoo as primary today with Windows, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD under virtualization; home server runs OpenBSD. Growing up doesn't mean that you're going to follow a particular linear order. Your needs change throughout your life

i go from *buntu -> arch -> fedora and back around.

these days it's mostly what DE do i want to use as i like unity, gnome, and kde.

Ok guys. You can relax. Realistically, this is the answer. You can find this setup in 90 percent of companies. But then again, you faggots couldnt picture this happening. Most of you are NEET & will never get a job/wife

>>42887954
>You can find this setup in 90 percent of companies.
I doubt so many companies favor BSD over Linux or Windows Server

>>42887976
yeah, true. I was just using that image as an example.

O Biscoito, how model of itautec came with gentoo

>>42887976

>>42887976
BSD is heavily outnumbered by linux in the enterprise.

Why use Debian over Ubuntu

>>42887996

they still make that?

>>42888002
Because Ubuntu came with unity or you need something really stable. In jerk way Debian(free software) Ubuntu/Mint(Open-Source)

I use ubuntu because it just works and lets me work without having to tweak it or manage it very much. So yeah, It does serve as an OS to work.

>>42886920

Sitting at Starbucks and typing up a novel about a boy and a girl who fall in love while sipping a tall mocha grande isn't a job you fucking mongoloid.

>>42887954
>You can find this setup in 90 percent of companies.
Nope. Never ever. Even big companies use mainly active directory to manage their windows boxes. Windows VDI is used pretty often and sharepoint gets more and more common too.

ubuntu does get a lot of flack for being unstable, and i think it's largely due to them still working on unity. the derivatives are pretty damn stable.

i like unity, but i'm worried about how mir and driver support. plus, i'm excited for wayland.

>>42888002
stability, better maintained repos, init or systemd over upstart, freedom

it's a preference thing, debian will always be my first linux love

>>42888037
But Unity is good though. At least if you want to get work done. Real people with REAL jobs don't use tiling window managers like i3

>>42887630
>Confirmed for never using PowewrShell.

Not that guy but use Powershell at work.

You really ahve no idea what you're talking about. Powershell is an utter pile of shit, the syntax is utterly horrible because Microsoft wants everything To.Be.Typed.Dot.Net.Style and doesn't know how to intelligently handle executable paths. Everything is way too long, it's easy enough to read but hell to type because every script has an ungodly long name. It's clearly designed to be copied and pasted from MSDN rather than typed from scratch.

>>42886065
You do know that most serious users either use Windows, Scientific Linux, Debian, RHEL or Ubuntu right? In fact Ubuntu is kicking serious arse in the server/dev space at the moment, it turns out driver support, stability and up to date packages are desired features.

>>42888041
These charts are depicting home use you retarded faggot.

>>42888036

>>42888073
Is this b8? Nothing wrong with tiling window managers.

>>42888073
Unity is too basic and barely lets you customize your desktop

Things like MATE aren't hard to configure and you can get up and running quickly to keep your productivity, but also let you fiddle around a little

Pantheon is nicer looking if you don't mind being as limited

>>42888059

this includes build machines, repositories, test suites, etc..

>>42888073
>Real people with REAL jobs

really depends on your "real" job chief. tiling wm's like i3 were made by developers for developers

>>42887922
>ad/exchange/client management
Count in ms sql and you have covered 95% of a standard companys needs.
We even have a mysql installation on a windows server vm because the license service for the software runs on windows only.

>>42888073
Actually I'm considering flattening my work box and installing Linux for good tiling WM support, when you've got some monitor panels, a few SSH tabs, an RDP session, an XMPP and a mail client open it makes all kinds of sense.

Just use windows and a program that allows you to tile your windows. It works really well for me. (3 screens + numerous PuTTY sessions)

By 2012, €6.8 million had been saved on Microsoft licensing alone.

damn u espensive

>>42888105
Well that depends on the field the company works in I guess. We do electrical and electronical servicing for industrial companys like oil refineries. Both are highly dependent on proprietary stuff that runs on windows.

If the company mainly uses self developed software I guess linux is more common because of license issues.

OP I have, this is why I run OS X.

>>42886099
You don't need a functional computer?

>>42888078
I don't know, it is easier if you're not familiar with the programs involved but it still doesn't necessarily tell you what it's going to do. It also has some good features like being able to whatif changes but if the syntax is horrible, difficult to type quickly and overly verbose that's a pretty damning weakness.

Imagine if you had a word processor that randomly inserted NIGGER KIKE 14/88 HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG into documents, all of the nice features on the world wouldn't make proofreading everything several times any less annoying.

>>42888137
I'm not the guy who was talking about ricing. Whats the beef with i3? I use it ugly and find its better for workflow when I have shittons of documentation and files open.

This is why all your countries are shit.

well, i haven't had any reason to use windows in a couple of years, but for the random times to do something i boot up a vm and put it in seamless mode.

all the games i care about run natively or in wine (just waiting for csgo). i realize people have different requirements.

as for me, i don't do any graphics works, or what have you so vm works excellently. if i did, i'd rather use osx anyway.

>I'm too dumb for Debian or Manjaro so I use Arch
You heard it straight from the horses mouth.

>>42889144
manjaro is just preconfigured arch with packages held back a bit for little reason

you're not missing anything by just using arch directly

>>42889145
If following the guide to the letter and having the system not boot, then yeah, I'm dumb.

>>42889123
Before he left, Ballmer Zyklon B'd it.

>>42889164
I know, I went to manjaro first, I could not get it to boot with UEFI. I spent about an hour searching for info before I just went on arch and everything was up and running in about half an hour.

>>42889208
if you've already setup arch how you like, then don't worry about it

manjaro's for when you don't care to set it up yourself

>>42889164

i think it's more akin to mint. it's arch based, but they have their own repo and they also have their own custom tools.

i would say antergos is more like arch + a nice config

>>42889240
Yeah, I do enjoy arch, everything has worked very well. One complaint I would have is that the battery seems to drain a little fast, but its not a real problem since my laptops always plugged in anyway.

Am I just old now? Because Mint didn't exist back when I started... Or at least no one knew what it was or cared.
