Been on Linux exclusively for almost a decade, have yet to *have* to compile. Did occasionally to get a bleeding edge mplayer, but not at all recently.

>>61161163
so what should we try else? Gentoo?

obviously you fit into the normie use case then
might as well ubuntu; why do you need to be on a rolling release distro theres zero point ever

casual distro desu

>>61161163
t. someone who's never used arch

>>61162611
I WISH

>>61161788
Because it doesn't allow customization at all.

>>61161163
>like making you spend 8 hours compiling gcc63 and firefoxgtk2 just so YOU DONT HAV ETO USE THE STUPID GTK3 FILEPICKER
OpenSUSE with KDE Plasma doesn't have this problem.

>>61162664
Not an argument.

>>61161263
what are you even trying to say?

he might as well use Ubuntu because he's not compiling his software manually in Arch? I don't get it

>>61162747

>>61162825
if you're using programs not in the official packages or aur then they break all the time and you have to constantly recompile them every few weeks to keep up with the rolling release system

so ironically its better to use debian or ubuntu or something if you actually want to do anything at all how you want it instead of being a normie and using approved packages

>>61162866

For real, install gentoo/funtoo/Source Mage.

Arch is a binary distro, jockamette: nothing gets compiled when you upgrade.

Awful thread.

who is dis mayo empress

if you are recompliing the same files can't you just use a .Bat file to do it for you.
the .Bat format in windows and Dos was a program that can do repeditive code tasks in a few seconds.
Mircosoft stopped using .Bat files as the mainstay after windows 3.1. but its still a option on text based OS's like Lunix ( btw this is nothing to do with GNU)

Linux kernal should support it or somthing like it.

>>61165644
Contuining.

as a Old dos user
I often hat to set up and add in drivers on start up for all my devices and set up updates and installs at the termainal
the whole code was 1300 charaters and so i made a .Bat for execute all the operations every time i started the system.
the .Bat was called.
SETOS.Bat
back then all the IRQ and DMA addresses had to be set up manually and all drivers had to be set manually.

thank fuck that jumpers are few and far between these days.

>>61165644
>>61165715
yeah its weird linux stil doesnt have anything like this

>>61165724
Odd indeed.
maybe a modded patch could fix that issue.

Why would you want to use deprecated software versions? Sounds stupid. Anyway, there's gtk2 version in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-esr-gtk2/

thats source based retard

>>61167018
Well, no one can help you then. Try to stop using outdated software.

I liek turtles

>>61167082
wow arch sure is great for customization hehe

>>61161163
Use the binaries, like if you read the whole code you're compiling,
>>>#yolo

>>61167111
>Use the binaries, like if you read the whole code you're compiling,
what kind of normie software are you using that has binaries for it

>>61167100
So good it's not the only distribution.

>>61167130
what?

>>61167126
Arch is designed for binary packages.
If you don't want to install binary packages use Gentoo, Funtoo, or Source Mage.
Either that or if you want binaries for your esoteric software go Ubuntu and pray it is either in the apt repos or there is a ppa.
Or you can enjoy the amazing experience that is Slackware and install all your software without a package manager.

>>61167218
tell me more about slackware

>>61167230
Without a package manager you have to deal with dependency hell on your own. You may or may not have to compile, it depends on who releases the software.
Updating your machine will be a nightmare, but hopefully you won't have to since Slackware is pretty stable.

Arch Autism Language Demystified

>A camera and entire circlejerk team was stationed outside the basement. The following is what we learned

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck"
We believe this 'tism is when x.org won't start anymore and this is not a meme fuck you!!!!!!!

"Guguugugulugluglguu" (and then several anime figurines end up on the lawn in an autism-explosion)
He jacked off. monitoring distance had to be moved back several hundred yards due to smell and I don't mean tuna fish

"whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
This 'tism usually is the arch sperg talking to some ex-friend (who doesn't use arch, fuck you fuck you) who is actually making money now, or sumshit

(nothing is said and arch sperg is waving hands on lawn running in circles)
***UNKNOWN 'TISM BEHAVIOUR***

"muh package old man age!!!!!!!!!" heard for 3-4 days
The arch sperg met a debian user

In order to destroy the arch linux user, we all printed out arch logos and taped them onto our shirts and ran inside screaming about apt. Within 15 seconds the 'tism moved into an even more obscure basement and used an even shittier distro anyway please stop posting

>itt: absolute fucking retards that probably dont even use arch completely missing the point
you want to use snowflake firefox (and I get why), dont expect there to be binary packages for your shit. Set up your own build server, and start maintaining a binary package for AUR (this isnt much work, just set and forget).

don't expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, arch users have it good already with the AUR, obscure firefox versions not having binary packages is a pretty minor issue.

>>61162866
>approved packages
you mean binary packages
and somehow that translates to normalfaggotry

AUR=Arch User Repository
you, the arch user, can contribute to the AUR
thats the entire point
stop whining and start doing

>>61167126
see above, AUR is very much diy for esoteric packages

im still mad at the state of /g/ now fucking hell bunch of poser faggots

No retard, it's good for customisation
When I went to install something from GitHub on Debian I have to spend a week manually recompiling packages I'm manually downloading just so things are up to date enough to compile anything released this decade


How is a weekly pacman -Syu so your systems FUCKING UP TO DATE AND NOT VULNERABLE psychological torture

Just update your system, if you've taken time to quickly read the wiki pages of all your systems major components before slapping it together, a weekly Syu should be flawless
