Fedora is way better.

>>59717534
Then n00bs might start using your distro and you're no longer l33t and exclusive.

>>59717534
Slackware is way better.

I've always appreciated how the Arch logo perfectly encapsulates an Arch install.

Looks fine at first glance, but when you look closer you see that it's broken and unfinished.

>>59717612
It also has a fat fuck under it, just like the users.

If you're to stupid to follow some simple instructions and install an OS, then you don't belong on /g/.

Here dumbass, take a look at this.

They made it even fucking EASIER. That's probably why the beginners guide is gone. Stop having a manchild fit.

ftfy. you don't need a beginner's guide, installing it is easy anyway

>>59717534
Arch user here.
Honestly Arch Linux shouldn't use the wiki as an install guide.
The install.txt is basically the wiki page without links, making it also retarded.
It's kinda sad that a more hardcore distro like Source Mage has a more interactive installation guide in its fucking ancient iso's than Arch.

M-muh hard work and devotion, ruined in seconds...

>>59720268
it uses python solely in unit tests and for a single script (that barely works and nobody uses), and if you actually think that the language used to develop /the/ kernel, every decent hardware driver made in the last 2-3 decades, and a majority of operating systems, that is also used in any legitimate high-performance setting where they don't use c++ (which, reminder, needs to be used like c but with generics if you want good performance) is worth insulting, you're a fool.
also, 'leaky' doesn't mean much for something that runs for an hour at the fringe most and completes a single task, especially when you can go run valgrind on it right now.

This kind of elitism always upsets me.
Programming should always serve normies in the end. Shouldn't the whole point be to make free and open software that is accessible to all? If we shut normies out, we largely defeat the purpose.

Otherwise, what is it other than masturbation?

>>59717534
Seriously the installation guide is not complicated, they deleted the beginner guide because it was just the installation guide without some details.. People that can't install arch by using the actual installation guide are just lazy dumb retards

No computers are for developers. We program for other programmers. Normies use shitty M$ tablet. You want to use Linux? Learn to use a computer (ie. learn to code).

This is why Ubuntu is so widely used. It is devoid of elitist pricks like yourself.

>>59722784
Ubuntu is diying because Ubuntu told "fuck off" to its power users (people like me). It's fucking hard to find a competent Linux user to help you with Ubuntu when it's broken.

>>59717534

They made the Installation Guide easier though. Eliminated redundancy.

Yeah, people like you are the problem. Your definition of basic doesn't extend to those who don't spend most of their time covered in their own waste, shitposting on /g/ in their parents basement

>>59724866
Countries are starting to seriously consider adding basic programming to their curriculum.
I think Sweden already is.

You are completely right. Hard to use distros push away people from FOSS who otherwise would embrace freedom.

This. Switching from arch with xfce or i3 to fedora with gnome was the best linux decision I've made.

>>59719102
Install windows 10

I can install arch but i just can't do anything after that. How the fuck do i install i3 and all that sick shit except not have a million pointless packages.

How is this had?

>>59728100
You have a brain. Figure it out.

You retards act like this is complicated

>partition, format, and mount drive(s)
>install packages
>generate the fstab (or build it manually)
>set the locale
>set the timezone
>set the hostname
>choose a root password
>install bootloader

Explain to me why you need some huge comprehensive guide for this? I can perform a full Arch install without any guide given an ethernet connection and it would probably take less time than many other distros.

>>59728268
Cheers mate. Completely forgot about that, now I'll be able to do it.

>>59719102
What are you running that on?

>>59722827
Ubuntu isn't dying, more people run Ubuntu than the rest of the distros combined.

I guarantee you that Ubuntu was installed on more computers in the last 30 days than Arch has ever been installed on.

Ubuntu.,.. dying...

You figured out how to install Arch, but not how to use its package manager?

>>59717534
>>59729887
If that's what you want, then use a distro that includes such an installer. Seriously, you don't have to use Arch. The whole point, that I think people are completely missing here, is that Arch is a distro intended for people who would like to have near full control over their OS.

I would (correctly) say that the install guide found here

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

is for beginners, what more could a beginner ask for?
