i thought i finally found a distro that i liked but i cant even use if for a single day without having problems. this is probably just a simple issue to more experienced people but its hard for me. mfw i try my best and still fail.
why am i so stupid?
let me guess you got memed by an idiot on /wg/

i would suggest antergos w/ cinnamon unless you think that looks like shit then prepare to troubleshoot KDE bugs or get a decent XFCE look going.
if you dont care about bleeding edge then download like elementary os or something?
don't use rolling release distros
they are made of glass.
>>60362750
i actually switched from elementary to manjaro because elementary was too heavy and it would randomly stutter on my shit computer.

i got memed by someone from /g/

I mean i knew before hand it was going to be unstable and i thought i could actually learn something along the way but the OS is literally unusable.
there's a reason people like OSX. shit just works and you don't have to waste hours. i've had many linux distros get fubar and had to start over.

>shit computer
sorry:( u must make trade off here. i would go with a cinnamon/mate/xfce(imo descending looks order) DE and distro of choice. or i3 if u wanna rock that

Don't bother venting your problems, it is universally treated as PEBKAC here
The Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem
>>60363042
treat yourself this week pajeet
>>60362878
welp. i'm about to boot up antegros hopefully i didnt fall for another meme.
>>60363106
i would personally use the LTS kernel option
>>60363031
>decide to fix small issues here and there to make it even better
sounds like PEBKAC to me
>>60363063
>pajeets
>Apple
>not microsoft and google
I see they're working extra hard to shake the association off.
>>60362713
you should have used ubuntu's network installer faggit

>PEBKAC
jokes on you I let the chair do the work.

This is why Arch based distros are a mistake.
If you're too stupid to install Arch, you probably shouldn't be using any Arch based distros.
However if you are going that route, Antergos > Manjaro
