Not sure if that’s a fair metric yet.

lol, I guess it just didn’t make sense at all then

Haven’t seen that movie/show/played that game, so that means nothing to me. 🤷‍♂️

Not what I was saying, no, but it is true, that I don’t own one. 😄

Perfectly valid. 👌

I moved from Ubuntu for the same reasons I moved from Windows, to be honest. I felt like I was losing control of what my system was doing. All this bullshit being forced on me that I didn’t like. I wanted to be able to pick my own DE without uninstalling something else first. Major upgrades would fail sometimes, etc.

Installing Arch was a challenge I was willing to take on. Learned a lot.

I don’t share the trope about Arch Linux users being annoying per se, but the joke about “Arch btw” is just fun to participate in lol. But I don’t think Arch users preach that much. I see way more preaching about Fedora and NixOS, e.g. And like, Mint. 😆 Meanwhile Arch users are just silently enjoying themselves. 🤷‍♂️

Exactly, it just reads like a smug rant.

Insane. Wonder what the motive was if he did it.

Oh, it’s just a list of pro Linux items but in reverse psychology… Kay.

I’m already a Linux user, I was kinda curious about a listing of actual reasons Linux might not be for someone.

I just felt increasingly like I didn’t have control over my system. And Gnome 2 was looking sick to me at the time, I loved the look. 👌

Started with Ubuntu for a few years and now I’ve been on Arch for over a decade I believe.

Web dev, Linux at home and work. Works fine for my scenario.

They can’t understand each other. Because of their language.

Would be cool as a backup medium. Unload a bunch of warez from my main disks, store on this read-only medium taking up very little space, providing a huge collection to my media server.

Yikes on the Nobara experience. Will avoid. Not that I ever felt the need to explore or hop beyond Arch. Discord as the main communication channel? That screams immature project IMO.

I have the same experience as you with Arch. In probably a decade of use I’ve only reinstalled when buying new computers. It’s just so solid. I use it both for work and at home. 👌

Neat, that’s cool.

Do you find that Arch bothers you in any way, would you say? How if so?

Understandable

What have you been doing since you stopped programming?

Alternatively, why did you stop (seriously) programming?
