I'm pretty sure installing Arch with Arch Anywhere and using Plasma takes less time and tinkering than installing Debian does, but okay

>>57001415
thats not what i meant.
just wait until you get a job where you have to work with linux, you'll notice that there are actually only 2 distros that matter in the real world.

Because I don't know how to run it on OSX.

I don't think there's much of a chance I'm going to need to know this if I'm studying to become a nurse

Because Antergos exists

>>57001681
And why do you use Antergos when Arch anywhere exists?

>>57001674
stable, not testing or unstable
arch is unstable by definition....

I used debian for nearly 5 years.

But as a neckbeard it was my duty to switch to arch

>>57001708
Because is easy to install and it just werks

>>57000831
Because it uses the Linux kernel and has ancient packages. Also it updates just LOVE to break.

>>57001733
Yes, that's what Arch anywhere is, so why do you use Antergos?

>>57001771
Because I dont have autism like you

That's Arch you're thinking of.

What about Ubuntu Server though? I started with CentOS but switched to Ubuntu Server quickly because I was a beginner and didn't feel like tinkering with LinuxSE (or wgatever the name was) and whatnot. Running Debian on my laptop.

>>57000831

I started out with Ubuntu, later switched to Xubuntu and I'm happy with it and see no reasons to switch to Debian.

Because I already run the best distro.

Fedora.

>>57001810
This. I used to run Arch on the laptop but I didn't feel like learning the entire system inside out before being able to use it, i.e. being able to fix the Bug of the Day in less than four fucking hours.

I default to testing but have unstable enabled. If an update breaks something, the fixed package is often already in unstable. Or I can roll something back using debian snapshots.
All in all: pretty up to date, pretty reliable.

Used to use debian, then I tried Arch
Arch is better because debian has:
Too many base packages
No AUR
(trivial) SJWs and Shit logo

Pretty happy with Arch right now, won't be switching back.

>>57003028
I don't use znc or have a seedbox. I have physical servers in my basement. I run irssi in tmux on one of them. All my torrenting is done on my personal desktop. I backup the stuff I download to a file server, but I wasn't satisfied with any sort of remote torrenting setups. The transmission web client is total ass. Wouldn't let me save to a folder with spaces in it, and I couldn't rename files in the download like I could in the regular client. Haven't tried rtorrent yet, but I imagine rutorrent is similarly lacking.

I do run it, on my server. It's been doing a pretty awesome job.

no thanks!

>>57000831
Because i'm on Gentoo :^)

will be switching to gentoo shortly, since uninstalling systemd broke literally everything

>>57000831
Does Rasbian count?

>>57000831
because Rosa is actually good, anon

>>57000831
I do. Server.

>>57002926
I used to run my server on Arch, but switched over to Debian (still on the fence about that, though). So far, it hasn't been too bad, I just miss tigervnc out of everything (and the pkgbuilds).

>>57000831
No AUR
No ports tree
No PPA
Older packages, even in sid
Full SJW

Honestly. I respectdebian. But it is annoying and outdated PPA etc

Arch works so much better for me and I have no non stable issue with it so far.

I'd prefer ubuntu over debian these days. which is sad I know

>not installing gentoo

I realize it's a meme, but desu I can't see any reason to use Linux if you aren't going to take full control. Muh freedoms ship sailed long ago.

>>57006087
Distros like Gentoo/Arch are fun at first, you have full control and can easy play around and learn a lot. After a while though it gets tedious. Eventually you're OK with letting the OS start to do things for you. You're competent enough to dive in and customize when you need it, but why bother when 95% of the time it doesn't really matter?

>>57005984
> I used to run my server on Arch
let me guess, then you got fired?

>>57006203
>implying I have to dive in and customize regularly
I tweak configs maybe once a month. The only tedium occurs when I'm setting up on new hardware but that's a once in several years problem. Not a big deal.

Debian is like a sandwich with cheese. Of course it is good and does the job, but a bit boring

>>57000831
Debian has lived past its purpose. Ubuntu LTS is more than stable enough to run on a desktop and for your servers you should run CentOS since that's what everyone is targeting these days.

But I considered that it was fucking dumb to have to use a half assed software center on gnome to uninstall shit (which half of the time I couldn't find because it wouldn't load my installed programs list) or else remove packages that had little to do with them.

I mean shit I want to get rid of firefox, is that much to ask? Why do I have to remove that gnome package as well

Gentoo gives me all the stability and none of the wait time for packages at the minor cost of occasions where I'm compiling something in the background. The install process is comparatively painful but once that's over you're not doing it again for years so who cares?
