Why don't you?

Manjaro is the second most pointless distro ever.

>>43707952
Whats the first most?

Install Mint Qiana.

>Arch is pointless
Without Arch, there's no way the manjaro devs would be able to maintain their little spin-off distro. You only hate Arch because you're an inept user (manjaro's target audience), don't make the mistake that all users share this flaw.

Why was the wiki such a bullshitter then?

are there any actual benifits to using arch instead of manjaro?

Tried manjaro openbox edition for a few weeks.

What a piece of shit.

You should be having second thoughts, it is a joke

>>43708898
If you want Arch for babby ducks, there are three other sane solutions. https://github.com/helmuthdu/aui, Archbang and Antergos. Plus, these use the real repos, not some Ubuntu like bullshit.

>>43708928
GONNA INSTALL ARCH.
Thanks guys.

>>43708863
>Why was the wiki such a bullshitter then?
The wired internet part in the beginners guide is beyond fucked but the rest is quite alright
>are there any actual benifits to using arch instead of manjaro?
Manjaro uses it's own repos if i recall correctly and it's run by two people so take that as you will

can you guys help here here >>>43708695
also why not antergos if all you need is installer?
or script?
https://github.com/helmuthdu/aui

>>43708413
why do you brag so much about being stupid? arch installation doesnt take any logner than any other installation

>>43709009
sure it does.why does arch make the installer such shit btw? i don't get it. didn't they use to have a normal one?

Why is there so much infighting amongst Linux users? I'll never understand the animosity towards each other. This is why I'll always use Windows.

>>43709085
windows 7 or 8.1?

>>43709085
that's pretty stupid reason to use an os

>>43709085
You're a fucking retard then

Currently running eOS, might switch to this, seems interesting

>>43709085
He makes a valid point. I use linux. But don't understand why every linux user on here has to argue what is best blah blah. shit is lame folks. Use what works for you and enjoy.and some difficult installer doesn't make you any better than others.

>>43709099
loonix since 8 is being phased out and switch to 9 once its out

Manjaro masterrace here, all other distros sucked

>>43709057
wat? Arch doesnt have installer, that is the reason why it takes week to you. But to a normal man who is capable of reading one line of text under minute or google script installer it takes it takes even less than any other installation

>>43709118

>>43707844
Antergos is superior:
Keeps default repositories while adding another one atop
Advanced installer
Looks gorgeous off the box - even comes with normally not free theme free of charge
Variety of DE on one .iso image
Far less bloat.

>>43709925
yeah. antergos is the shit. pretty much arch. just great installer. perfect installer actually. and not bloated at all. maybe i should tos son my laptop. also uses Arch repos. Unlike manjaro?

Manjaro confirmed for botnet
https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=15939.msg148482#msg148482

>>43707969
Arch

>>43708014
Good point. So why do archfags always on "HURR DURR WIKI" when this perfectly fine *shock* installer is available.

Hell, why isn't this included as a option on the arch iso...............elitist faggotry, that's why.

if i wanted to install arch (which i don't because i'm not a faggot and masochist) i'd just use the AUI script.

Arch is a part time job. You're thinking of gentoo. That, anon, is a full time job.

Arch is for elitists and ricers who DON'T have the time to install gentoo, and also for ricers who don't want to use mainstream software

>muh AUR
>i uninstalled gnome so now i need pythis and pythat with whatever-git to come close to the functionality i lost
>i also want to use shitty, configuration heavy ricertoywm-git which is only in the aur the aur is the best aaaaaaaauuurrrrgh

>>43710088
I tried the AUI scripts to install Arch on a virtual machine with a 8GB - shit worked well.

But still happy with my Manjaro install on my main PC.

>>43710150
Is it that automated that it will empty the whole drive without asking?

>>43709960
Manjaro does allow you to use the AUR as well as it's open repos.

Dont let archfags tell you otherwise.

>>43710184
wut?

I just used virtualbox to create a 8GB *virtual* hard drive (ie use 8GB of space on my main machine) to install Arch using AIS...

gentoo is actually pretty booring for a neet life

>>43710126
Well done for showing you have never used either arch or gentoo

>>43710225
A NEET has nothing to do and does not see compiling as a problem, unlike normal people with deadlines and plans that gentoo can easily disrupt

Another alternative to AIS:

I'd like how both Evo/Lution and AIS werked

I've used both. Get fucked, typical " i had no problems wuttur u talkin bout hudurr" linux luser.

All linux distros end up being a waste of time and demand maintenance sooner or later. Some more than others. Gentoo more than arch, arch actually less than debian (someone please tell apt to stop breaking and handle itself gracefully like yum), and yes, arch is better than fedora in that respect

But it's still trash

Half of them want linux to succeed and the world to be free and the other half wants it to not succeed so it can remain their psuedo-mysterious sekrit club horseshit

The problem with it is that the releases are slightly later which flusters muh autism

The hardware scripts are godlike.

Manjaro is a based fork of Arch

/thread

Thank you all, I've just got arch linux installed and am quite happy.

Im a fulltime winfag and i was a massive fan of manjaro when i first tried it. Until i tried installing Arch and realized anyone who considers himself tech savvy should be able to handle it.

HOW THE FUCK DO I FIX THIS
Fresh install, tried openoing the web browser and I got an Input/output error, updated mt system and after a reboot, trying to open web browser sows firefox for a couple of seconds then it dissapears, the pacman bitched about some truncated files, managed to fix some (qtwebkit or somthing) reinstalling, but I dont know what these files (the ons with the x on their icon) belong to.
I really want to try this distro but fucking hell what a clusterfuck.

there are 2 types of arch user,

those who say it takes 3 days to install, and those who have found the installation script.

>>43712812
WHADAYYA KNOW
Rebooting did the trick.
Anyone got a useful link bout whats recommended for a laptop user to do after installing and updating?

>>43712958
might want a fan control if you're experiencing overheating or poor battery

>>43712890
And those who have done it enough times to do it in 10-15 minutes.

(Not me, I did it only once so far.)

>>43707844

Give me one good reason why you should use this instead of Antergos.

>>43712981
Propietary drivers y/n?
nVidia card btw

>>43713350
They have their own repositories. Some may consider that a good thing, some may consider that a bad thing. I don't mind it.

>>43712890
It took me like 15 minutes to install it myself because I just wrote a word document

Since this basically became Manjaro: The Thread...

Does anyone know how to fix garbled sound on Youtube for Chromium? Google says it's an issue with Pepperflash but I had to update just to play any videos at all, and now some videos are literally blowing my speakers.

>>43713378
While also letting you install stuff from the AUR.

>>43713398
mpv
youtube-dl
livestreamer

>>43713459
But then how will I absorb knowledge and well thought crticism without being able to read the youtube comments!

>>43713459
I'd to view the videos natively in the browser if at all possible, but thanks anyway.

i'm missing something
why is this a bitchfit competition?
i'm dualbooting windows 7, mint petra and manjaro 1.something
why is this all comparing distros and not talking manjaro?

i don't like the way my ubuntu programs aren't all easy in manjaro but the aur is sweet and manjaro has a lot more (good) design in mind, in my opinion
not much to discuss there but whatever

>>43713508
0 point something, the first one, why do programmers have to be dicks?
oooh java 7 is actually 1.7
cunts

manjaro website doesnt refer to it as GNU / Linux ... just Linux, wat ta fuck

>>43714167
That did the trick.
Is there a way I can automate this step?
If you dont want to spoon feed me thats aight, I am already grateful.

>>43714274
make an alias called instfont or something

>>43714274
you could try to download the fonts directly to /usr/share/fonts/TTF
what do you mean automate? like do a script to scan your downloads folder every second for ttf files and move them to the fonts folder? (that was sarcasm, that's a ridiculous idea)
you know what, fuck you, i'll do half of it, lucky i'm drunk

#/bin/bash

# fontUpdate.sh
#
# script to automate font installation
# will scan home downloads folder for ttf files and move them to usr share font folder
# only does ttf files
#
# elGrandeRetardo, 21 august 2014

# scan downloads for ttfs
ls ~/Downloads | grep -i '\.ttf'
###### SOMEBODY HAS TO LIKE STORE THE RESUKLTS OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW, HERE'S THE FUCK UP ON THAT LINE JUST ABOVE THIS ONE

# move font file(s?) to that folder
#while [ NUMBEROFFONTS -ne 0 ]; do
mv $FONT /usr/share/fonts/TTF/$FONT
#let $FONT=$NEXT[i]
#done
##### PROBABLY A FUCKUP THERE, I DON'T FUCKING KNOW, I THOUGHT I COULD DO BASH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW ARRAYS

copy to a text file and rename the file fontUpdate.sh
then do:
chmod 755 fontUpdate.sh

that's like the jist of it, maybe someone could fill in the blanks
i tried and i thought it was funny

>>43714488
Thank you darling, I appreciate the effort but I reckon itd be easier to copy them, CLI or using the file manager, that way I know whats being installed.
I found it cute, thanks again c:

>>43714539
jesus christ, yeah, right click the background of your file explorer, open as root, cut font file, go to /usr/share/fonts/TTF and paste
nearly the same as windows
didn't even fucking occur to me
fucking cli and /g/ and /g/'s love of cli and all this confusing shit

I took a look at the Manjaro Openbox edition and it looked like shit.

I like the idea though, I think a user friendly distro based on Arch should exist.
