Why is the Gentoo community generally friendly and helpful, while

>>60646826
Because resolving issues with Arch is a right of passage. If you cannot solve your problems on your own you have no business being an Arch user. It's less of an OS and more of a lifestyle really.

>>60646850
what about gentoo? It's easier to make it "your" operating system than Arch is, and you're generally more responsible for everything on gentoo.

>>60646826

Because Arch is literally by ricers for ricers. They get off on "bleeding edge" packages and care about frivolities.

Gentoo is more serious linux types that actually understand things.

>>60646826
because if you asked stupid questions and don't know what google is you should kys

Is that a fact? Doesn't feel that way to me.

> Gentoo is harder to configure and set up, so why don't the elitist cunts flock to that instead of Arch?
Gentoo is pretty easy and meant to be pretty easy.

I don't *really* think you should get bragging rights for being able to handle the thing that the Gentoo maintainers worked on pretty hard so it would be easy to handle.

>>60646826
not to mention the arch docs

>>60646826
Because Arch users are edgy autistic teens. Gentoo users are are just friendly people who really like Linux.
>>60646952
>Is that a fact?
Yes, spend some time on Arch forums and then Gentoo forums. Very friendly on the Gentoo end.

>>60646826
Stupid question. Does gentoo have a equivalent to the AUR? If I find some dumb software on github, what are the chances my lazy ass can install it through a manager?

Spent a good amount of time on the Gentoo forums and IRC and some on Arch's IRC, but I guess I never spent much time on the Arch forums.

It has overlays, typically managed with layman.

Though you can also just directly point Portage at the folder with "your" ebuilds, whether you wrote them or collected (/git merged) them from random sources doesn't really matter.

>>60647078
Thanks for the answer anon, I'll take it for a spin in a vm.

>>60646850
really? fucking archfags, i swear
making a cult out of an operating system

>>60647150
If you don't like the initial setup but just want to try to adapt a bunch of pieces of software you care about, you could also just play around with portage (rather than equo) in a Sabayon VM.

>>60647239
This looks great. I'm looking for a highly customizable OS for a new pc I want to assemble. Ultimately, it was either arch or gentoo, but having a out of the box playground to see how the system might work is invaluable to me.

There's nothing wrong with the Arch community outside of /g/

>>60647539
Sure. Have fun playing around with it.

>>60646826
The Arch community is the Mount Stupid of Linux communities.

>>60647744
No, it's pretty shit.

>>60646850
that's so fucking gay

>>60647830
>>60647830

This.

>>60646850
its really not all that fucking hard to use you arrogant prick, arch isnt a fucking way of life it just lacks modern features and refinement which i guess makes neckbeards like you feel 1337 which it shouldnt because any decent programmer or hacker uses something that doesnt take all of their fucking time maintaining because they have real work to do, saying "lel you couldnt figure out our neckbeard operating system n00b" just makes you look like a fucking dumbass because its not that its hard to figure out a problem but its also not that hard to answer someones question who would rather spend their time on something other than their damn operating system

>>60646850
The Arch wiki says otherwise. I use Ubuntu but Arch wiki is a goto resource.

>>60646826
Should I use Arch or Gentoo, once I'm comfortable with Unbuntu? Or is there an easier one to setup to?

>>60648339
*step up to.

>>60646826
Windows is better

>>60647744
No, the /g/ Arch users are at least somewhat self-aware. Outside of here, Arch users pretend they're l33t hackers and think they have the right to look down on other people because they managed to follow a simple command-line install guide.

>>60650238
Windows is gay. Shill that jewish degeneracy somewhere else.

you already said it, because it's harder. it attracts people who are more professional. Arch is actually pretty simple, therefore it attracts the same kind of person who is a scriptkiddie. people who move on from newbuntu then want to have a superiority complex.

Gentoo users also want Gentoo to succeed, including its derivatives, OpenRC, etc. so they don't have the same kind of retarded ideas as Arch babies do.
