Why do Arch fetches always look the best?

>>62474886
Because you are a teenager and haven't developed proper taste yet. Don't worry though you will grow up and look back with embarrassment at the arch scrots you used to like. It's all a big part of growing up kiddo.

Maybe I got lucky with my hardware etc but I've literally had 0 issues with stability so far, from what I've understood I can just select to boot with the LTS-kernel in case a bleeding edge one causes issues and I'll rather run 4.12 from July, 2017, I mean Linux 4.4 was released on Sun, 10 Jan 2016.

Because we care, we also do things like shower regularly (unlike Gentoo users)

Arch has always been a simple distribution in terms of the developer
perspective, not the user one. Using systemd made it simpler than ever
in that regard because much more work is taken care of by both the
systemd developers and all of the projects shipping unit files.

It has never been a minimalist distribution. Splitting packages is rare
compared to other distributions, and dependencies aren't made optional
whenever possible.

It has also never been a distribution offering much user freedom /
choice compared to Gentoo and even Debian. There are very few cases
where there are multiple packages offering different configurations of
the same project. There's no equivalent to update-alternatives or the
comparable uses of USE flags. Changing /bin/sh from Bash will be broken,
as will changing the python symlink to point to python2 instead of
python3 even though this works on some other distributions. It doesn't
strive to offer choices like this, and never has. It would mean a *lot*
more complexity on the development side of things along with major
deviations from upstream.

Arch is the *opposite* of a user-centric freedom. The opinion of users
has no weight here. Only the developers have an opinion, and there
aren't voting systems as there are in Debian. Technical decisions are
made based on merit via consensus among the developers, not popularity.

>>62474344
What WM is that?

>>62474991
Why did you tag me in this autism, friend? I like Arch because it justwerkz and I can do anything I want with it. It doesn't come pre-bloated or anything and it has the (amazing) AUR which no other distro has anything close to. Tell me why I can't like Arch? Or is it a case of 'stop liking what I don't like'?

>>62475009
Certainly not minimalist, but those other two claims are questionable.

Arch has *never* been minimalist... a Linux kernel with every module
available and every feature enabled at least when there's no non-bloat
related cost, feature-packed/complex GNU tools, nearly all optional
features enabled across all the packages, etc.

>>62475016
Where did I say it is minimal?(even though it is and you can run under 200 packages) I said it doesn't come prepacked with a bunch of bloat apps like Ubuntu and shit do. What's questionable about the other 2? Arch has had one issue that required manual intervention in the last X amount of years(and it was a 1 minute fix), and as for the AUR, what comes close to it?

>>62475038
Arch is the opposite of a distribution with lots of user freedom. Users
will come and go based on whether they like the technical decisions made
by the developers. The popularily of those decisions has no impact on
how things are done, regardless of how vocal users are about it.

>>62475064

>>62475086
Arch users gush about the AUR which I think a good indication of what the arch user base is like. Too lazy or stupid to sort things out themselves so they rely on this ramshackle collection of broken/insecure/abandoned packages that have been cobbled together by other idiots are stupid as themselves.

>>62475148
By spending too much time on /r/unixporn

>>62475152
It's less about that, I could autistically compile all of my own packages (every arch user could) but why bother when I can type yaourt <package> and have it done in 3s? I've never had an AUR package break my installation, I don't get unstable gits though.

>>62475142
What's the usage like? I've never used Gentoo, just seems too next level autism for me.

It's a distro that actually allows the user the level of control, choice, and minimalism that arch users want.

Calls someone else a brainlet while relying on the AUR instead of just DIY. Nice

I love it. It's only used as terminal and programming font. I have regular font elsewhere, as other people use the computer for normie stuff as well.

>>62475240
You just talk like you've never even used arch, but you're determined to shit on AUR and put some garbage Gentoo meme over it which probably offers <1% of the packages AUR offers, lmao. Why don't you manually start everything on boot? Are you too stupid/lazy to manually start everything?

I gave arch a solid year of daily use before coming to my conclusions. I ran it on multiple machines and used it for a number of different purposes. Not only is it a terrible distro, the user base consistently gave me PTSD.
>boot
Using a distro that requires rebooting.
>offers
There lies the major difference. I don't use a proper ditstro for the packages it ""offers"" as I can easily make an ebuild and run what I want without have to rely on someone else to do the hard work.

Community memes don't define the distribution, technical choices by the
developers do. It's clearly not based on what you say it is, and *never*
has been. It has always used significantly more disk space and a
measurable amount of additional memory than Debian and especially Gentoo
as a consequence of keeping things simple (again, from a development
perspective).

>>62475329
>the user base consistently gave me PTSD.
Arch userbase has to be one of the most active/useful of all distros, you must have severe aspergers to not be able to take advantage of the knowledge-base on the forums and shit. Your argument basically seems to boil down to
>B-BUT YOU'RE NOT DOING IT YOURSELF! EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD IF YOU WANTED TO, AND HAVE NO PRACTICAL REASON TO...YOU SUCK BECAUSE YOU AREN'T
Yeah, think I'll stick with my 10s builds and back to work, rather than wank over ebuilds like you, Eugene.

You know you can also compile your own kernel if you think there is too much bloat friend :^)

>>62475367
You can claim that the community is based on a set of principles, but it
has nothing to do with technical decisions by the developers. Memes
about minimalism and user freedom != actual distribution policy /
principles / history.

>>62475375
Gentoo has USE flags so features can be optional at compile-time. Many
of the packages with dependencies on systemd in Arch link against
libsystemd, and we don't split up the package as is the norm here. If
there's a package with an *unnecessary* dependency on systemd, you can
and should file a bug. I don't think there are many that depend on it
and don't use it.

>>62475382
Are you having like a schizo moment or replying to the wrong guy? I'm saying the AUR is good, he's screeching about DIY.

>>62475402
You can still use it, it's just becoming increasing more difficult at a
pretty steady pace. Those packages didn't suddenly pick up systemd
dependencies in the past few weeks / months anyway. The version control
logs disprove the claim that there are many recent changes.
