Yes, it is.

>>57770747
Manjaro is fucking excellent, near perfection. I love it.
Only problem is it's so fucking boring. Nothing ever goes wrong, there's nothing to fix, no drivers to install, no wifi to fix, no kernels to compile.

>>57770844
rofl :D

>>57770787
no it really isn't. people make it look hard to install so they can look cool & piss on other users.

>>57770849
this isn't a problem for any other distro either. unless its arch of course :^)

>>57770849
Funny, it always breaks for me.
But it might be because of my hardware (shitty Intel laptop), so who knows.

>>57770747
Its pretty nice. Been using it for 8 months and no issues. Arch for idiots, basically.

>>57770869
Well I run Debian Unstable so I'm practically always fixing something. I like it, honestly.

>>57770885
you do realize youv just admitted to being an idiot?
LOL

Latest archlinux bugs:
- installing python3 breaks all python2 scripts
+ fix it by adding `env python2' to all python2 scripts manually

- installing mpd and it's dependency ffmpeg, pacman installs Wayland
+ if you don't want Wayland don't install mpd or ffmpeg

>>57770954
why wouldn't you want waytland?

Legend says that if you reach the highest stages of Arch Linux, you'll transcend physical existence:

"They are immune to heat and cold, untouched by the elements, and can fly, mounting upward with a fluttering motion. They dwell apart from the chaotic world of man, subsist on air and dew, are not anxious like ordinary people, and have the smooth skin and innocent faces of children. The transcendents live an effortless existence that is best described as spontaneous."

Tell me, masters: is this true?

>>57770836
Tried and it failed. 0/10.
>>57770901
I'm ok with this. I never got around to Arch because I use Skylake, and linux was basically broken until kernel 4.5 or 6. Never saw the point in Arch if it was just going to black screen like everything else I tried.

I see that you have a gpu with Arch. Im not a gamer fag and had to buy a gt720 just to use Linux with skylake. HD530 was broken as fuck on Linux. It might be different these last few months, I haven't tried the iGpu drivers in months.

you should trust me i use to install arch the normal way then i tried this and have never looked back

>>57771374
Just a cursory search on bugzilla will return pages of bugs for skylake. I already explained the two system-killing bugs I encountered. Perhaps they have been fixed, but I see no point in fucking with my working system to prove a point.

>>57771455
Hello Alex, what are you using for a gpu?

how much of the name is just flavor? Currently runnnig the latest version of ubuntu .. Arch seems dope but just don't know what it offers

>>57771470
Hello Anon
I don't own a gpu; I haven't needed one thus far.

which debain based linux can I have that's completely open source?

>>57771655
debian

>>57771589
It should output the iGpu anyway. Curious.

>>57771670
huh really? I never thought anything of it. I'll look into that, thanks anon

so whats your excuse for not using it?
are you too much of a n00b to use it?

>>57772124
i dont see the need to use it what advantage could there be in compiling everything?

>>57772228
Security.

>>57772249
what security? how does that even make sense?

>>57772228
configure things to your own needs, remove features you don't need, by compiling your own software it does make it more secure, something to do with changing memory addresses or something along those lines i remember reading, and you're using a different binary to everyone else.

Arch is ez mode
Pacstrap does all the hard work for you

>>57772228

yeah your binaries are unique which means you can't just know the memory addresses of everything by simply disassembling the standard binary everyone would access to have if you were using a binary distro

>>57772377

Yeah Gentoo is easy, I installed it inside my ARCH LINUX.

>>57772438
if i install it via a VM with a real disk will it boot when i go to boot it on metal? or is it better to suck it up and install it for real?

>>57772532
It'll boot as long as you have a bootloader set up and ready for it (if you only gave the VM a partition and not the whole disk, extra intervention may be required or you can chainload by installing GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR)

If you install Gentoo via a VM make sure you configure the kernel to have support for both your hypervisor's emulated hardware and your real hardware. I used to dual boot this way in the past, so I can confirm it works fine.

>>57772532
i'd just install it for real but if what that fag above me says is true (wouldn't trust him) then yeah you could do that as well

I want to remove cinnamon etc but don't feel like fucking with alsi or pulse if that messe sup.

One thing that annoys me about linux is their whole audio shit. Wish they would make it just simple like it is on windows and such.

>>57775282
Eh just a lot of elitist pricks who can be rude and annoying if you ask for any help or certain issues. The wiki and forums are very helpful just you catch mt drift.

>>57775287
>using pulse
why?

Also, it shouldn't fuck with anything, at least not with alsa.

>>57771183
>32 gigs of ram

>>57775313
This is half truth, the distro is aimed to people with some experience in linux, and they specify you to read the wiki and seach in the forums to see if anyone have the solution, and then ask. I can understand the frustration of getting a question whose answer is on the wiki.

There are some elitists assholes, I'm not going to deny that, but most of the community is not that bad, or at least the part I've seen.

>>57775419
I dunno seems needed. chances are if i removed it right now with alsa installed I'd have issues

>>57775948
Just checked and yes, cinnamon has pulse as a dependency.

Depending on what you want to use you could just remove pulse and alsa and install just alsa.

I'm on awesome wm with just alsa now, never had a problem with that.

Moved to Arch from noobuntu a month ago. Im fucking loving it. Love getting the latest packages, and the wiki is fucking dope.

>>57770787
Not if you've used linux before.
When I first installed arch, I'd only ever used ubuntu, fedora, and elementary. Installing it took a while, but if you belong here, you'll find it fun. Now that I've done it before, it's a breeze. I also understand much more about linux in general thanks to using arch.
Don't really know why they deleted the beginner's guide though.

>>57770410
This. I really don't get this. I've been running Arch for like a year and have no idea what people are talking about. No package has ever broken any other package, or introduced any bugs or problems that I've noticed. Everything has always worked fine just like any other distro.

>>57770787
Not really, it can be annoying if you don't know your way around the terminal (ie never mounted a drive or used nano or vi)

>>57776294
I installed it as a fresh Windows convert with no idea what I was doing at all. No fucking difficulties whatsoever. I don't use it anymore because it's autistic desu.

>>57770787
It's piss... but use Antergos or architect if you must

>>57780978
Or Arch-Anywhere.

Why is the ghc package for arch so goddamn bloated? Don't actually tell me, I've looked and found out so that's rhetorical. But seriously, why the fuck would they do it like that? What's the best way to minimize the size of that shit? Where do I need to get it from?

a good package manager
you have a lot more choice over what you want compiled into your binaries -> a LOT less bloat (arch packages include all options so even if you don't give a fuck about bluetooth or any other bloated shit it still has support for it)
more security just by virtue of compiling everything from source since you don't have the same binaries as everyone else.
the option to use hardened gentoo + grsecurity/pax patched kernel for even more security (1337hacker tier security arch n00bs can't even dream of)

enjoy your bloated n00bArch though.

>>57784520
Funny thing is, I'm not even on Arch.
I'm just talking about it with actual Arch users ITT.

Stop the hate.

oh, so you're even lower than a n00bArch user
you aren't even human then, not that n00bArch users are particularly human either but still.
>>57784589
yeah do this then uninstall n00bArch and install a better distro

I like zsh. I don't care for the enhancers the community builds so much. If you've gone that far tweaking your system might as well do the real dirty work. I am fairly set against yaourt but it's a decent guidline. I have been wanting to explore more tiling wm's but I just haven't been able to.

I'm on a fresh arch install and I got my boot down pretty low but it takes significantly longer than systemd analyze reports. Gdm takes forever to load even with auto login. Any idea how I can troubleshoot?

I'm a normie with a laptop that updated itself from Windows 7 to 10, I can't particularly into computers though, should I not even attempt to install arch Linux and just go back to win?

>>57787241
Install Solus

>>57787241
Beginners should start with Ubuntu (or Linux Mint).
If you want an easy Arch-based distro, choose Manjaro.

what incredibly blatant lying

there is ubuntu's mini.iso which is "somewhat" similar

upon closer inspection, it seems you have a screen to your right as well
you cropped it out

you're welcome

>>57790154
Oh right, thanks,

>>57790170
also, you didn't accidentally your unit files, did you? your errors suggest broken links/empty unit files

>>57790211
Just a regular upgrade this morning.

Threw it in my bag, got to school, booted it up and that's what I got.

What do I do? Downloading the iso to chroot in and see if anything can be salvaged,

>>57790241
while i didn't check them all, but at least a few of those are owned by the "systemd" package on my system
so i'd first try to reinstall that from a chroot, perhaps it failed to update properly

also look around to see if anything else is missing/broken, perhaps do a chkdsk to make sure the the filesystem itself is in one piece

can't say for certain what the machines' state is or what the cause was from here

>>57790517
To what directory do you typically chroot into?

Never had to do this before.

>>57790517
s/chkdsk/fsck/
derp

Reminder. Arch is bloated and "simple for the devs", not for the users.

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-July/039443.html

Basically, Arch is a distro for cucks

>>57790536
the root
the one with "usr", "bin", "var", etc

like this (assuming arch livecd);
# mount /dev/sdz1 /mnt
# arch-chroot /mnt bash
(skips a few steps over using plain chroot)
that's it, now your shell is in the context of your on-disk installation, doing things like running pacman from here is just like if you were running off your on-disk install

>>57790608
oh, and running "exit" will get you back to the livecd shell
you can also switch tty if you need access to both shells at the same time (other tty's will still be in the context of the livecd)

>>57790608
>>57790626
>chroot: ailed to run command "bash": Exec format error

whut

>>57790597
if i wanted to manage every little thing, i'd go back to gentoo
after a while i said fuck it, i didn't need or want to spend time shaving off a few megs here and there on my desktop system
yes, arch packages are big, but sometimes that's just what you want

>>57790639
ensure the livecd is the same bitness as your on-disk install (ex. both 64bit)

>>57790681
God bless.

Now I've fucked myself though. I was using GNOME NetworkManager and can't figure out how to configure my network now.

>>57790765
if it's wired, just run "dhcpcd" (livecd shell)

>>57790882
It's not. No ethernet port.

:(

>>57790900
then this is probably what you want;
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl#Wireless_.28WPA-PSK.29
the livecd should have the tools listed already available

>>57790079
>>57790121
Oh fuck I'm really a retard
Used the -s to only get this monitor without realizing it could just crop the screenfetch

Thanks for the (you) I guess

>>57790900
>>57790765
ps. don't forget you also (should) have available your pacman package cache
if the cached package is ok, you can reinstall systemd without downloading it again

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/systemd-232-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

(chroot context, version in your cache may differ, adjust to suit)

>>57790987
i figured you were just making an intentionally weak excuse to post your desktop/wallpaper as well
also, i think scrot only grabs the first display by default unless you specify -m

>>57791063
I've been having to purge my package cache b/c low memory lol. Thinking about just nuking this partition and starting over.

>>57771512
>just don't know what it offers
As little as possible

The default install doesn't even come with x/sudo/vim.
If using arch anywhere/architect installer it'll add any DE/WM, wifi management and stuff but still minimal

>>57791063
>>57791174
Tried it anyways btw

You do realize your system isn't any faster with those 30 gigs of memory that are never used lying around, right?

>>57791237
Why always this discussion
If you edit video or run highly unoptimized matlab or whatever you may very well fill 10G+ of ram.

Ran a research on adaboost variants once and it's really really comfy to hold >1M CART nodes in RAM. Or all word permutation of some book

>>57791230
--force it
or remove it first (pacman -Rdd systemd)

i set up bitcoin once several years ago and did nothing with it, don't even remember how to use it

but that's cool. remember to keep your cache around until you're sure the last update didn't break anything
