What are your thoughts on antergos?

Antergos = Linux for people too stupid to install Arch.

>>59579625
You could say that about any distro with an installer

>>59579566
I haven't tried Antergos but I think it's just an installer, when Manjaro has a graphical program for upgrading kernels, updating system and installing packages from AUR. It's actually trying to be more comfy way to use Arch.

>>59579566
excellent Arch based distro. Works perfectly fine out of the box, no stupid shit to deal with, no stupid ass new bugs/quirks like manjaro. It's a decent first step for someone that just wants to use Arch.

It's awesome.
The only thing that pisses me off is the installer which will be updated in the middle of installation if you don't know that you need to wait when it's updated before starting the installation. Literally the retarded thing ever.

It's bretty gud.
The installer has failed on me a few times, but I've always gotten it to work in the end. Also, using this to install arch will not get you a super minimal and customized experience, but it isn't bloated either. Most of the packages included by default are actually necessary or helpful.

The worst thing about it is the logo.

Antergos seems alright, probly better than manjaro cause common to Arch native repos.

Actually pretty great.
Quick rolling release bootstrap for a ZFS root.
One of the SSDs are failing pretty hard.
Write and read errors upping in SMART every few days but it's still usable and adds extra speed.

Kernel updates regularly fuck with it because pacman installs zfs before the spl so I just run a small script to reinstall in the proper order every update.

My only complaint is that /boot isn't zfs as well and it's not segmented into proper datasets by default and just dumped into the root pool.

Not only that, but Manjaro holds back security updates and it's a rolling release distro.

In other words, don't use Manjaro.

>>59579625
>Antergos = Linux for people too stupid to install Arch.
Or Linux for people who actually want to use Linux, but don't want to needlessly waste time.

>>59579566
personally I'm a fan of manjaro.

my issue was that previously when using Arch with a LUKS/LVM/UEFI setup, I would need to revert kernel updates almost once a month due to them letting a bug through which broke my setup.

in my 2 weeks using Manjaro, I haven't had an issue. bonus points for bumblebee working out of the box.

>anter/g/os
is this our distro, lads?

Arch with an installer and compiled yaourt in repo.

That's all it is. I have no use for it, I'd rather install Arch myself.

>>59579566
Chakra and Manjaro are better.

>>59585306
They haven't held security updates back for over a year. Those are pushed out asap. Roland, the dev whose certs were in his name, is gone. Please try to stay up to date with your criticism.

i had to trash the whole fresh install of that distro because not even xrandr detected the correct resolution, yet the CLI was in full res

Here's the thing, OP. Arch doesn't break nearly as often as /g/ likes to meme but it IS a babysitting distro. Antergos, being just Arch with a crappy installer, inherits all of these problems with the added downside of not having a clue about what is installed in your system; therefore not knowing how to babysit it. That is, of course, if the installer didn't forget to create fstab or to install the boot loader, because it is that shitty. If what you're looking for is a distro that just works, mostly anything else will fit the bill better than Antergos, even Arch. Antergos shouldn't exist.

>>59585329
Considering the huge amount of distros that require no more than clicking next a few times to install out there. Antergos is, indeed, specifically for people who want Arch but are too stupid to install it.

>>59581248
>spend two hours installing arch and getting it riced to my liking

what reality are you living in

If I install Arch, will I know more about Linux? I'd like to learn which part does what and how they work together.

>>59579566
Logo looks like underside of a rising penis.

>>59587194
You won't learn anything regarding insides of Linux based operating systems. But you will learn a bit about how they are configured and you will know what many files in /etc/ directory do and that's pretty much it. It's not about modifying source code, it's about configuring system to your liking.

>>59587591
Thanks, I guess that could be fun too.

>>59579625
Meh, Fedora/Ubuntu are way better if you have to actually work on the system and not just rice it and shitpost on /g/ and /r/unixporn

>>59587147
Has it ever occurred to you that people don't take pride in needlessly wasting time, especially when alternatives are available?

>>59586855
This thing happens on anything using X. Using windowed mode is shit because the pointer isn't locked into the window.

>>59585329
>don't want to needlessly waste time
Time you "save" on installation will come back to hurt you when shit goes wrong. Better to set things up the way you want from the start than to waste hours/days later on troubleshooting and trying to jerryrig everything.

If you want Arch, install Arch.

>>59579625
I wasn't too stupid to install Arch, I'd already done it on a virtual machine. I installed Antergos on my real machine because I'm lazy.

>>59589035
>This thing happens on anything using X.
Did the same thing again, with the same program, on another distro, and nothing bad happened.

I've been using Antergos for almost 2 years now, You clearly don't know what the hell you're talking about.
But I'm not surpised that an autistic arch baby is so upset because I can have all the advantages of an Arch system without spending hours installing and troubleshooting my system.
L M A O Stay upset

>>59589904
I have nothing against Ubuntu desu. I'm actually using it myself, but I do get errors trying to run not only WINE software but some "native" games too. WINE software running in fullscreen fucks up my resolution and over half the game is out of borders of the screen. Doing something like this >>59589035 doesn't force the cursor within windows borders and "locking" it locks it in the middle and stops it from moving completely.
Some games not running in WINE (but probably using it as a wrapper) do the same out of borders shit as wine games (Heroes3 for Linux, for example), and a couple of games on Steam with "linux support" can't be resized at all without freezing the system (anything running on Unreal Engine).
It's just really annoying.

You're a fucking casual. You don't even have FDE with your shit install.

>>have it break the next day from an update

In one year, I have only had two 'breakages'. I couldn't install new updates, so I had to manually remove/edit a file. All explained in the arch news beforehand.
