Why is it considered a meme distro?

Because some people actually need to get work done. As nice as having the latest packages is for development, some people just don't want to run the risk of breaking their system whenever there's a major update. The whole Cinnamon DE broke during one of the GNOME releases.

Because deferring updates for more than 2 weeks bricks the whole fucking thing

Also used mainly by skids

Would you recommend something like Solus over arch?

Chya bruv, lemme just pack up my $1300 home machine and throw it in my backpack to take notes in class.

The laptop that I use for school runs Arch without any problems. You're just a drooling retard if you can't use it proficiently.

Fucking chavs,you must be 18 to post here

You're a complete fucking moron if you can't see the value in having a distro without any bloat whatsoever with rolling updates.

OP here. I'm looking for a stable Linux distro and thought about installing Arch.I have used Ubuntu before which I didn't like at all.Should I go for it?

>>57731837
Nothing is stable, stability is a myth and does not exist in any OS

>>57731837
Work your way up. There is a learning curve.

I suggest Debian and Lubuntu and if you don't like either and you're feeling adventurous, try Arch. I need it because I'm limited on specs on the computer I'm running.

Its userbase is what makes it a meme.

it's for insecure losers who have to prove by using a distro that is a chore to install and requires constant maintenance.

kek, nice inferiority complex bro

Oh the sweet irony hehehe

in what way? literally a meme

Been using Arch for almost a year now, same install. I'm bad at updating and I don't read Arch wiki for update warnings.

Never had any problems what so ever. Only thing you need to do is reboot if your Nvidia drivers updated.

So far it's the most stable distro I've used for this long without reinstalling. I came from Ubuntu 12.04 to Fedora 21 to Mint17, all of which eventually slowed down or started becoming more and more buggy as time went on. Arch just works.

>>57732382
Thats how i feel about gentoo. Arch isnt difficult to install/maintain at all

>>57731714
Solus is pretty nice. It can be a little light on available packages because it's so new though.
I use it on my work laptop and it definitely more stable than Arch. Check on the packages you need and decide based on that.

>>57731714
>>57732663
Solus is confirmed botnet.

>>57732382
>is a chore to install
Literally takes about 15 minutes the first time you do it.

>requires constant maintenance
Like "sudo pacman -Syu" every now and then? Kek.

>tfw I installed Arch on my fileserver that runs ZFS and stores absolutely all of my data

No fucks given. I'm hoping this won't blow up in my face, but it's been extremely stable for over half a year so far.

I don't update it though, which is fine since it's not directly connected to the internet.
