Yeah I don't get this either. Might as well go with the base package and make it your own. Why install someone else's bloat? I got my own.

Because packed in themes, media codecs, wireless drivers and enough software to keep casual winfags happy.

>>51527775
The kernel comes with drivers. What ubuntu and its derivatives do is install firmware blobs which is pretty easily done on debian, its like two or three commands.

>>51527715
yeah, why would you use that old and outdated as fuck language? verdana is comfy as hell. segoe is pretty good too, too bad it's so connected to micro$oft.

>>51527513
Fuck Mint!

Mint is the perfect distribution for technically illiterate retards like yourself. Debian a shit.

Both debian and arch are shit that will break for absolutely no reason.
Use only non-systemd distributions, kids.

just trying to install it without the bloat of a de is enough to start a long discussion, many people recommending just using a different distro because mint is so hard to reconfigure

First off, systemd is not an init system, it has an init system as part of the systemd suite. systemd is a project to build a standardised lowlevel userland for Linux. The project is pretty comprehensive and it delivers a lot of functionality under one umbrella. It does away with a lot of older, often undermaintained software packages, which were traditionally used to assemble a low level userland.

Which is where the contention comes from, as a system suite systemd is restrictive for Unix virtuosi who are used to tailor a system with wit, ingenuity, a lick and a prayer and a couple dozen of unrelated packages. systemd makes such knowledge useless.

The faction that thinks that systemd is Linux's Hiroshima, finds all the added functionality bloat, unnecessary and dangerous, as it is all under development in one project.

All the systemd jokes stem from the comprehensiveness as a low level system suite. People against it love to joke that one day systemd will write its own kernel.

There is a lot of FUD and hate going around. Some arguments do have merit, a lot of eggs in one basket is certainly true, but as with all things in life, it depends which tradeoff you prefer. Do you want a suite of well designed software, working closely together, so that system management is streamlined or do you want the complete freedom to tailor your own low level system with a lot of time tested, interchangeable components.

Nice meme kiddo!

For the amount of time that I've used Arch it has never broke once!

>>51527688
It's not a matter of being close but having it as its foundation.

>>51527833
Which ironically requires an Internet connection.

you should have an ethernet cable lying around anyways

>>51538004
Some laptops (Apple...) don't even have an Ethernet port.
