>I want to spend thousands of hours autistically maintaining

I paid for Windows and it's just as shitty. Granted, it was the 20 bucks upgrade license, but fuck all this. All operating systems are wank.

Because the interface is garbage? Used it yesterday, and double-clicking the window didn't even maximize. Then, when I hit the button to maximize, it enables full-screen! What a joke!

Maybe you're just retarded anon. It's okay, they make macs for the tech illiterates and there's no shame in using one.

>>60018251
Have you actually tried it? It's very low maintenance after the first day.

Arch is more stable than even Fedora, at least in my experience. First-install fedora forgot to set a SELinux flag or whatever and couldn't even login. After I fixed that, KDE randomly crashed for no reason. On top of that, Firefox wouldn't play GIFs. Fuck that shit.

>>60019410
>randomly crashed
>KDE
Found your problem. They push new versions too quickly. KDE 4 FINALLY became stable and usable, and shortly after was replaced by Plasma, which lo and behold is buggy and unusable. Same thing when KDE 4 replaced KDE 3.

>>60019302
not much of story. windows bluescreened and borked some shit. now it wont recognize any inputs from my keyboard. it says
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. To fix this problem you should uninstall and then reinstall the hardware device. (Code 19) in the device manager

>>60018251
You are right. Arch developers love themselves so much, they suck their own cocks and swallow.

Install antergos with gnome. It's not hard

>>60018251
Debian text mode install is the best, especially for RAID installs

Enjoy your borked system

Windows Server 2012R2/2016 managing 7EN/10LTSB. Set it up right and you're good for years.

Everybody knows that Arch is a distro for unemployed autistic losers who have nothing better to do with their time.

>>60020275
It takes at most an hour or two to install assuming you don't have a special snowflake setup. If you want to customize your DE that will take longer obviously, or you can just install the complete DE package like KDE or GNOME or whatever. If you're so busy with work that you can't spare a few hours of tinkering why are you on 4chan?

Being an Arch user strokes my ego.
Im also a hobbyist. If something works out of the box exactly the way you want it, there's no fun to be had.

If you pride yourself on being better than someone else because of an OS you use, I feel bad for you. Like, genuine pity.

>needlessly complex install
It's not even that fucking complex m8

Arch is Gentoo for retards. You aren't special for using it because it has a cool logo, faggots.

i installed arch via archbang live cd; its much easier to setup

I've had arch for a long while but installed manjaro on a new laptop because I enjoy latest packages and AUR but don't want to spend a whole damn weekend installing it.

>>60023425
IIRC you have to edit two text files and execute several commands just to pick your language.

I honestly don't see why it can't have a single config file by default, followed by a single "use config" command.

>>60023468
Doesn't Gentoo take much longer to install packages because everything has to be compiled?

That's the reason I went for Arch.

>>60018272
I really like this poster.

>>60018389
>once installed
which is a fucking retarded process that's unreasonably difficult and requires unnecessary command line use

>>60023621
there are justwerks installers if you don't want that much control over your installation.

>>60023468
Gentoo is a literal timesink OS, as in you have to wait for shit to manually compile.

>>60023566
>>60023621
It's not complex or difficult at all, unless you want to do something custom (which means you know what you do) or you run into some weird-ass hardware issue that you can't fix through 30 seconds of web search (which is rare unless you're running a newest cheapest dumbest laptop). It's a streamlined process, you just read the wiki, copy-paste commands and tweak them slightly. You then spend most of the time customizing all the software/WM/DE/..., not installing OS itself.

>>60023715
This

Arch'ds base system takes 20 minutes to install if you follow the wiki and have a good internet connection. 20 more minutes for installing Xorg and your DE of choice. Really not a "time sink" at all unless you're retarded and incapable of following instructions.

Gentoo on the other hand will take literal days just to get a working desktop up and running and no that is not an exaggeration. That literally is a time sink OS.

Arch does NOT require a lot of maintenance, in fact it requires less than Windows. You don't have to keep restarting every couple hours to install updates like you do on Windows. You don't have to disable updates or cripple your system just to make it usable like you do on windows. No defrag necessary, no yearly update due to Windows rot, just pacman -Syu once a week to install updates (when you're ready to install them) and you can use your system while it's installing them, don't even have to restart your computer. Very nice.

>literally days
Holy shit you guys are retarded. It took me a few hours and that was going in blind. If you're so terrified of compiling your own software during waking hours because it'll get in the middle of all that furry porn, then 1. run something that isn't a fucking toaster so you can multitask -- or actually learn how to use make.conf so you can set a reasonable limit -- or 2. Do your updates before bed, end of day, or similar circumstance. This isn't hard. The thing practically takes care of itself after that for almost every update process, especially if you let it automatically overwrite your conf files.

>>60024186
your such and idiot

>>60018251
>I want to spend roughly an hour throwing basic commands at a liveusb terminal so I can enjoy a streamlined and personal OS experience
I haven't had a single issue with Arch because I read the fucking wiki during install

>>60024000

go actually try to use gentoo, and not it doesn't count if your PC is from 10 years back

try dual booting windows and arch, wiki is useless

>>60026199
That's probably the hardest thing, I had trouble a while ago because Arch recommended systemdboot in the beginner's guide but systemdboot was a piece of shit and wouldn't play nice with Windows 10. You have to use GRUB, just install Windows normally and follow the duel booting instructions on the GRUB page and the dual boot with Windows page. The only trick is you may have to restart before grub-mkconfig can find the Windows bootloader, can't remember if I read that in the wiki or the forums.

>>60018251
It has it's place if you're doing something unorthodox like unsupported root file systems.
