No one gives a shit if you want to be an archfag.
Ubuntu just werks; obviously your education failed you if you focus on needing something better vs using something that works

Ubuntu repository is maintained by professionals, unlike edgy hipsters.
All of the package maintainers do their job as a hobby. Do a reality check

Do I have to reinstall or can I switch to gnome using a few black magic commands?

>>52891795
You could apt get gnome and logout and switch the de from the login screen.

>>52891822
How so I switch from the log in screen? Will a setting magically appear after installing gnome?

>>52891832
Yeah, in the little login box, there will now be a unity icon. Click that and choose gnome.

>>52891832
>>52891852

I'm rewatchin season 2 of Helix. Also ran my own version of Arch for half a year with no issues. Ubuntu may still be Linux but how am I suppose to know that installing a separate DE will automatically add a button to my login screen in a separate DE. Arch didn't hold my hand like that.

>>52892015
You are exactly the kind of person that claims arch 'broke itself' or linux 'just never works' I imagine

>>52892191
You're retarded and projecting. I used arch flawlessly for over half a year on a completely custom build that did everything I wanted it to.

I don't have time to deal with Arch. I'm in college. I need guaranteed reliability.

>>52892265
I really don't understand the superiority complex with some people on here. Just use what you like and what you need. Also, it's all Linux. We should all come together as one

>>52892305
This a million times over. I have no problem with arch but I'm trying to maintain a 3.5+ GPA in engineering. Not trying to fit in with a bunch of elitist operating system snobs.

When I'm comfy and have free time I'll surely work on the grandest of Arch installs because I thought it was great fun. But right now I just need to get the job done. Ubuntu is fine. Gnome is comfy. All the cushion of Fedora without the instability.

>>52892358
If you can't do both then you're a failure at life and should drop out now

>>52892358
I have a 4.0 GPA in physics and mathematics and I maintain 5 gentoo and 5 arch installations. Get good.

>>52892358
Exactly. Ubuntu is perfect for it's stability, but I genuinely don't don't experience instability on Arch or ubuntu, but Ubuntu has less of a chance to break and requires little to no maintenance. I don't even use Arch to be elitist. Sure I can say I use arch, but it's relatively easy to install and use. Frankly, I don't even know why people hate on other operating systems. Do I like Windows? No. Do I hate it? No. It's just not for me. It is great for people who don't know much about computers though. It's just sometimes people forget that they're talking to people on this board. And yes, the occasional shit post is fine, I find them funny as they poke fun and contain satire, but sometimes people go too far and it becomes clear it's not a shit post.

>>52892445
>Ubuntu is perfect for it's stability
Yeah, please tell me how your dist-upgrade gonna go in 2 months or whatever it's release cycle is

>>52892435
>>52892406
That's enough out of you.

>>52892445
My Arch install was unstable IMO. I installed everything, configured everything myself and ran it for everything I needed including development and VM. Worked great. But maintenance, keeping packages up to date, installing new software and general use has a much larger risk to make it unstable. A chance that I can't afford to take when I am a broke college kid working with what he has. I can't afford to not have a working computer for a night at a top 25 school in CE/Math double major.

My head is in the books 24/7.

>>52892406
nobody uses arch for anything important so it's perfect for failures

>>52892494
I'm the op installing arch. And never had issues with the dist upgrade

Nice dude what college?? And I agree. For something super important, Ubuntu is a good one to use.

>>52892152
Whats the difference?

>>52892547
Faster updates, bleeding edge, rolling release, and I prefer the modularity. Don't get me wrong, I love Ubuntu and think it's a great distro, I just prefer arch.

>>52892065
> Arch didn't hold my hand like that.

Yes it does, when you install any new display manager or desktop environment it is added to the little menu in gdm or lightdm.

I use both arch and ubuntu

>>52892655
Eh. I'm in a committed relationship with a girl in a neighboring college. Been on and off for 4 years with her but she's never been unfaithful and she's a mid tier QT. "Wifey material".

But yeah the girls are good eye candy. Majority of them are whores though for sure. I'm more worried about getting a great job after school. I'd love to make money while contributing to FOSS but that doesn't seem likely. What are you thinking about going for? Reminder that anything in the computer field is over saturated and you need to set yourself apart by being outstanding and not 'just getting by'

>>52892692
I used i3 and openbox. I build my own menus and clicks, used my own file managers and my own software. Like I said, its not my fault I wasn't born with the innate knowledge of DE's.

>>52892693
I actually have my first date ever with this girl in my school district (i got accepted into a charter school, she goes to public) and she's a mid tier qt too. I'm in Comptia A+ 801/802 certification and Android app development, but in my future, I want to do programming and be a SysAdmin. So I need to take some networking classes too. And there's 5 jobs for my field in a 10 mile radius, and I live in a smallish town.

>>52891022
Get fedora you fucking idiot. Arch is just a headache inducing time wasting joke of a "modern" OS...

>>52892693
And as long as with you're happy with her, that's what matters, cause looks fade with time, personality doesn't.

How many times a week or month should I pacman -Syu?

>>52892065
>>52892692
that's freedesktop.org compliance, nothing to do with hand-holding

So you think you're a tough guy installing Arch? Big fucking deal; it's hard to fuck up if you RTFM. Just get Mint.

>>52892744
I mastered 801/802 but never got the certificate. That's what my high school offered. I worked with my teachers and ended up teaching freshmen and software IT/Data processing. I ended up changing the curriculum to C# in lue of the old VB. Did everything but grading. Worked with multiple 15,000 robots. Went to Boston for one on one seminars with professors from Notre Dame, MIT and Harvard. We were using the robots to help communicate and interact with kids with Autism. It's a shame I left my school for online school.

Just never stop going for what you want to do. I admittedly dropped out and got my GED and I'm still moving up the ladder, bro. I feel into a deep depression and I'm still working through it. I'm excited about where my life might lead me after this.

>>52892790
Truu. She has a great personality. She's getting more comfortable around me. Likes games and wants to learn about tech but doesn't have the time right now. Hoping it lasts a long time if not forever. I l-love her. But we've known we were in love for 3 years before we could work through anxiety issues.

Mint is worse than Ubuntu imo.

>>52893790
Probably is but i'm so new that I honestly wouldn't know the difference.

>>52893790
>Mint is worse than Ubuntu imo.

Why?

>>52893885
It's older.

>>52893911

And?

>>52893931
Therefore outdated

Fuck off the all of you

>>52893952

Therefore more stable. Who gives a shit about being "up-to-date" if shit is broken?

ubuntu is aids. Literally is endorsed botnet for spying and selling info, Arch all the way OP.

>>52894232
15 minutes to install if you've done it before and probably less than an hour to customize everything to your liking. Maybe you're just dumb.

go suck canonical's cock

>>52891627
you do realize that's only true for MAIN repo, that gives you like ~2,000 packages.
rest are ~18,000 packages siphoned from Debian w/o any real support whatsoever.

>>52893542
how about one fucking reason.
stop talking about your feelings like some cunt.

>>52894450
researching all the smart defaults that Ubuntu has chosen isn't something you learn in an afternoon.
arch wiki might have most the info, but if you don't know what you are missing, you will never look for it. for example:

Sorry

New computer, want to setup Arch. Have been using it for several years and have gone through the installation several times on different machines. I really don't care for doing it again. I know how to use it. I am assuming Manjaro is inferior because it does not use the Arch repos.

So, Architect or Antergos?
