wtf I hate apt-get now.

Whoever used all four major package managers will confirm that pacman is the superior one.
And yeah OP you're right. Only garbage worse than apt is rpm.

Arch is for schoolkids, no one use it in production.

Anything less than total hand-holding ala Ubuntu and/or Mint is a technical meme. Most users are never going to digest even the minimum command line knowledge to proceed with anything else outside of falling for memes.

If you're going to go for terminal enlightenment, you'll eventually arrive at Gentoo. Anything less is being stuck on a meme or not realizing the full potential of your software.

wtf that's not how it works bud. -R just gets rid of something and leaves its dependencies alone. If stuff depends on GNOME, you'll have to remove that stuff obviously.

I see your problem, baka

I only use Debian over Fedora as Debian has a load of support and big community and Fedora has none.

It's ok newfag, not everyone can install gentoo. At least you shitposted about it. That has to count for something, right?

why do you need packages installer when you got glorious installers ?

I actually installed and liked it, but i was using shitty pentium cpu and it took several days to compile everything

>>57104249
Package managers are cleaner. Show me a single Windows program that uninstalls itself cleanly.
>>
>>57104287
Ironically old shitty cpu is going to see the most benefit from compiling with appropriate flag optimization.
