is there any actual reason for me to switch from debian to arch?

and the arch one

>>56587870
debian and arch are exactly the opposite

>is there any actual reason for me to switch from debian to arch?
no

in fairness to archfags the wiki is honest and unassuming about the differences

I switched because I had more than a few packages that I was manually building and installing to keep them up to date. I figured I'd rather use a distro whose package manager can so some of that for me and arch with aur helpers fits my needs well.

>>56587870
If you prefer/like:

- a rolling release model
- new packages being the main focus of the distribution
- the AUR
- a more minimalistic approach to packaging allowing you to pick and choose more

Then switch to Arch, if not, don't.

Arch is a private jet.
Debian is an oxcart.

Arch is okay and debian is okay.
If you are comfy with one, keep using it.

Also the whole "arch for lesbians" thing doesn't work.
the whole "debian for lesbians" thing works because they sorta rhyme.

sauce

>>56587902
how?

>>56587870
if you don't like debian switch, but there's no positive reason to use arch

>>56589370
You seem triggered.

>>56587902
you mean debian stable and arch

Actually debian sid and arch are pretty similar.

well, there is one distro less to choose from.

>>56587870
Yes. If you're serving a prison sentence, Arch would be a great way of killing all that time. If your sentence is long enough, you might even be able to make it almost as stable as Debian by the time you're out.

Also, sounds a bit like most of the debian team doesn't give a shit about this and just allowed that page to shut the landwhales up

i switched once upon a time, immediately regretted it. the AUR and wiki is nice but arch is ultimately like slack for tryhards.
debian requires less work to get a system configured to your preference, and generally just works. there's a reason so many distros are or were offshoots of it.

I installed Antergos recently because I broke my Bunsenlabs installation... It just looks so sexy.

After maybe 20minutes trying to poke around pacman I got so frustrated I installed Devuan.

Literally for me I don't think I'll ever go near Arch again. I'm way too used to Debian based systems.

>>56587870
Is the irony in that picture deliberate or not? The distro name is a product of a heterosexual relationship.

>>56594496
Yeah, for people who always use the software that comes bundled with their DE.

On other Distros most people who have been using Linux for a while now, will spend as much time removing stupid software they don't need and installing their preferred programs as they would spend setting up Arch.

Every single time I try to install something on my debian box the instructions always start with 'add a new repertory'

arch if u want up to date packages
debian if u dont

im not sure where you'd come up with that idea
if you dont want a ton of shit, just don't install it during setup? i have machines where i just use a DE and others where i use a WM and install only what I want specifically, both work fine on debian.

It stems from people switching from one OS where, say, KDE was the default, to another, with GNOME as the default.

Now they can say something like:
"God OS -blah- is so bloated. I had to immediately uninstall nearly everything to get it how I like it. I've used multiple operating systems having run Linux since I bought my Android phone 10 years ago, so I know what i'm talking about".

Kernel is the only thing that matters. The only conversation that counts is BSD or Linux, and the answer is both.

>>56588296
How's that an argument? You do realize that as long as you're not killing people/being a dick none of that applies to you? Wait, nevermind, I forgot I'm on 4chan.

>You do realize that as long as you're not killing people/being a dick none of that applies to you?
Unless you're white, in that case you're all of the above by default.

Don't fall for the rolling release meme. It's a waste of time.
