Every time I boot my computer.
Not the type of guys that just lets it running through the night

>>60096306
No. My shit needs a stable environment.

>>60096450

Geez, why don't you go back, Mactoddler?

I see you skill with these superuser powers

>>60096450
If you don't care about stability and predictability, well... That's just your problem. Faggot.

What is the magical difference you think there is arch toddler?

Running pacaur -Syu right now, my nigga

>>60096693
>>60096619
For (You).

>>60096742
that's cool too bruh
pacaur is the best AUR helper ever

>>60096619
You're an idiot. Run "sudo whoami" and see what happens. Also, since you're so smart, I know you know this, but after that, run "su -c whoami"

Basically, if you honestly believe that running something while logged in as root is different than sudo, you're an idiot. Also, >superuser

Hey retards.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/479357/what-is-the-difference-between-sudo-x-and-running-x-as-root

>>60096873
Did you read it? It says there is no difference. Both run binaries with setuid to root.

>>60096873
He ran sudo while he was logged in as root, you fucking imbecile. Also, su can grant temporary access as well, as >>60096840 pointed out. Basically, you didn't even read the explanation you just posted, it says right there that sudo grants temporary root access, so no, running as root is no different at all to sudo. If you can't grasp this concept, then do the world a favor, by jumping off of the nearest bridge.

No, I haven't run Pacman -Syu in a couple months. I'm still on LTS kernel 4.4.

Average Arch fag, does something daily by hand instead of using a cron job.

Is there an infograph of all essential arch linux commands?

>>60096306
what's the most stable arch based distro? the one that won't break my system with untested updates?

>>60097055
you can find on chakra linux has the best user-friendly documentation

>>60097364
Manjaro.

>>60097055

install gentoo

>>60097437
Seriously though

>>60097470
Then there are none.

>>60097578
No one asked you fag. Arch is the best distro ever. You need at least 165 IQ to use it. Looks liek your a sub-100 moron.

Arch is Bleeding Edge.

>>60097437
i guess this
manjaro is nice

>>60097055
here's an essential one ALL arch users should run

wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20170420/stage3-amd64-20170420.tar.bz2
tar xvf stage3-amd64-20170420.tar.bz2
chroot ./stage3-amd64-20170420

thank me later

Is being expert at command line necessary to operate arch? I want to try linux on the laptop i am going to get, and arch download size is only 467mb i don't want to download too much just to test something i don't even know i am going to use because very slow internet, so i was thinking of installing arch on vm on windows.

>>60098175
Not at all. If you can read and understand English on the wiki, you're better than 90% of the users. Everythign is always explained clearly in the wiki. And if you find something confusing, you can always hit the forums and get it cleared. We're a very helpful bunch (bar some moronic trolls).

Contrary to popular opinion, Arch is probably the easiest distro to use (short term and long term) because of its superior wiki, the AUR, it's minimal nature (thereby allowing you to customize everything).

>not having pacman -Syyu -force -noconfirm running in a loop

>>60096306
I did, and it broke my install. First ever breakage since I decided to try out arch a couple months ago tho. Pretty determined to fix it.

>>60098469
Thanks mang,
Well alot of computer related jobs specifically require linux knowledge and do prefer people who use linux, so it will be a good practice, have to just read wiki

Heeeeeeellllpppp meeeeee! Only post on the arch bbs is unresolved and from 2012

>>60101067
Help you with what? Are we supposed to guess what's happening based on that log message?

>>60096306
I did anon-kun!

also, contentment general for arch fags isn't a bad idea.

>>60101067
What the fuck are you trying to do nigger

>>60101379
>>60101355
It just shows up in terminal when I try to do various things. For example running screenfetch makes it show up.

>>60096306
Kill Arch, long live Gentoo!

Is anyone else feeling like "durr upgrades break stuff" is a waste of time? I started using it in December, switching from debian. Just make sure you either check the website or have some way of being notified like RSS if you need a manual intervention. The other day I got back from a holiday, and didn't upgrade my desktop for about 3 weeks. I was expecting something to go wrong, because about 200 packages/1.5GB got updated, but everything worked afterwards. I would probably worry if I didn't update for more than 2-3 months though, because manual interventions would probably accumulate by that point.

>pacman -Syu
Jist install pamac from the AUR
Or at least create a script to automate system updates
