ARCH IS THE MOST OUTDATED, UNTRUSTWORTHY AND INSECURE DISTRO

>>52532449
The new Linux packager is slow as fuck. I miss the previous guy ;_;

>being surprised at all

but then again having a critical security flaw doesn't interfere with putting animepedoshit on your wallpaper.

You also seem to forget that arch users rarely do anything productive on their computer, so even when exploited they're not big use to the exploiter

you'd think a distro praised as "BLEEDING EDGE" and only for the "knowledgeable and true Linux users" would have had this shit patched like forever ago.

What the fuck is the point of Arch if security patches are behind everyone else? Nerd Cred with other Arch users?

You can guarantee that Arch users always have their tiling window managers and screenfetch scripts up to date, though.

>>52532449
I will always buy Ubuntu Linux™ because Linux for human beings™. Ubuntu™ also pioneers innovative new technologies like Mir™, Unity™, and the highest quality Linux distribution to ever grace computers.
Ubuntu™ also pioneers in the phone market with its latest Ubuntu Phone™ powered by a synergy of Mir™ + Unity™. With these two innovative technologies combined together creates a breathtaking phone experience. You can ensure no dropped calls. Ubuntu™ is also at the forefront in gaming with its partnership with Valve™ to bring the Steam™ platform to Linux™. When I load up my Nouveau™ open source Nvidia™ driver to power my latest Nvidia™ graphics I'm a destroyer of worlds in my games powerd by Steam™. Power to the gamers™.
Ubuntu Linux™ is also very secure. It's the most secure operating system, and Linux™ distribution on the planet. It's harden against NSA probes, tested by highly trained and experienced open source programming engineers to have ever graced this planet. With such innovative security technologies like root, selinux, iptables, snort, and grsecurity you can ensure all your sensitive data is secured and you're safe on the internet.
At this point in time there's really no reasons to consider Windows™. I tried once. It infected my pc with a plethora of viruses that it caused my pc to overheat and explode. It not only nearly burnt down my house, but the neighborhood.
It's quite clear that OPs a Windows™ shill trying to convince you to settle on something less than the optimal experience with Ubuntu Linux™. Ubuntu™ is the only real way to play games or do anything productive. We've seen that they offer incredible libraries for software developers like Storm and Juju. He is probably too poor to afford the Ubuntu Linux™ experience.
Don't be a poor gamer with bad security. Linux for human beings™ with Ubuntu Linux™

Maybe the faggot kernel packagers just haven't rolled it out yet for some reason.

I don't get it, how does leaking a key enable root access?

>one tiny thing isn't patched

really? arch offers way more than any other distro, so a tiny patch isn't that big of a deal

>>52536043
>>52536095
true cringe

>>52537736
It isn't tiny if is a security vulnerability. Very unfitting for a distro like Arch

>>52537777
>Very unfitting for a distro like Arch
huh?

since when has arch been known for including out-of-band patches for anything?

>kernel goes through testing
>WHY HAVEN'T YOU FIXED THE BUG YET???
>kernel doesn't go through testing
>UNSTABLE SHIT THEY DON'T EVEN TEST THEIR PACKAGES BEFORE RELEASING
Retards, can't please them either way.

If you're dying from the thought of someone exploiting a local root escalation bug, just upgrade to the testing repo, jesus.

>>52537777
It's a security vulnerability that requires local access, requires you to run an untrusted program, then requires at least 30 minutes to work. It's tiny, no one gives a damn.

>>52537834
http://it.slashdot.org/story/16/01/14/2214244/zero-day-vulnerability-discovered-in-ffmpeg-lets-attackers-steal-files-remotely

I'm on a custom compiled kernel anyway.

>>52537966

That won't save you

>>52537910
changing the compilation options is not the same as using a third party patch

>>52532899
>flagged out of date on the 10th
I'm not going to defend arch on this. Just isn't good enough.

>>52532550
The only people who praise Arch for that are those who have taken their first step from Ubuntu.

Arch is piss easy to install but is a fucking Jenga tower, it's just waiting to collapse.

why do people get so offended by arch? i don't use it (i lack the knowledge), but it sounds like a cool idea ,to building your own system from scratch, by hand. kinda like building your own house....

>>52532449
I use arch because it can literally do anything every other distro can, but in a much more compartmentalized manner.
Come at me.

>>52540380
>https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/sophailv2.pdf
except that isn't arch, arch is like building a house out of KNEX or legos, but people love to act like its an amazing rewarding feat

>>52540426
didnt mean to quote

>>52540426

LEGO is a brand, its not the name of a brick.

>>52540426
Only (windows imported) ubuntu users think using parted/cfdisk is a feat.

>>52540515
nobody cares autist

>>52540581

>uses KNEX right
>uses LEGO wrong

Why did you reply then, mouthbreather?

>>52540592
Its not me, I just figured if you burst out random autist stuff about legos you might not have the best self awareness so I was letting you know.

Installed Arch with Openbox. Nice and fast. It's all ok and good documented until you want to do some special stuff. Then it's hours upon hours of troubleshooting.

Internet sharing with desktop, can't get it to work. Wiki manual doesn't help at all. One click in Ubuntu/Mint.

Spdif through usb audio card? Can't get it to work. Arch wiki doesn't help. In Mint/Ubuntu it's one gui click and one alsamixer option.

I get the feeling the timesink os meme is more than accurate.

>>52539978
I like the distro's package manager and I think it has a better bottom up install. But that doesn't mean lazy idiots aren't going to spoil the fun.

>>52540426
>KNEX

Man, you just gave me some major childhood flashbacks.

>>52540628
Yep, horrible hardware support without lots of tweaking, especially audio. I can see the appeal but it really started to feel like a hassle when things broke and I needed to get work done. People just like to brag about their 'real' linux distro and rice it up like a middle schooler.

>>52540628
It takes literally 5 seconds to write a .conf that gets spdif audio working through my firewire card. Fucking firewire. And thats on any distro ever - BSD's too.
Stop blaming your failures on the software you "use".

>>52540628
>>52540655
I'm migrating for security reasons (this was the last of many straws) but if your system is breaking all the time, it's more than likely your fault.

The distro isn't to "learn". This is like learning how simulated AI works by playing Arma and bragging about how it's harder than Call of Duty.

>>52540708
Dunno, I have had several times where updating caused my OS to not start (stuck at bootloader). All I did was run the update command. That can be frustrating.

Well then can you spare 5 seconds and post a .conf to make my usb audio work? No? Didn't think so.

>>52540815
>configure my shit for me!
You're using the wrong distro.

>>52540845
Might be true. You talk bs on the other hand.

>>52536141
>you wouldn't use arch on a server, would you?
I wouldn't use arch anywhere, because it's a toy distro for manchildren

It's very befitting of Linux in general. This is what sloppy code, and relying on third party code in your base system gets you. This is what considering security a non-issue, for losers, as Linus Torvalds does, will get you. Better get used to it, because systemd is paving the way for Linux to be as bloated and riddled with security flaws as Windows, if it's not already there. Using Linux, should be considered harmful.
