    One of the unexpected boons of using Ubuntu is that there are fewer zealots. If I say it sucks, nobody gets offended. Actually, I think more people get offended if you say that Ubuntu doesn’t suck.

      The great thing about debian is that I get to be elitest because I’m using a main branch distro AND I get all the handholding, begging for help the Ubuntu and Mint guys wrote online when suffering the same stupid noob shit I’m going through.

      EDIT : Because you know, KDE has really poor options support so I’m constantly digging around to change basic configs /s

      EDIT 2 : I’m keeping that typo, it makes me seem extra stupid

      I might be biased but there could simply be some degree of objective assessment involved… *spitting looking at you snap*

    Arch users like to feel smart for making their own life hard. pacman somehow managed to create an interface even less intuitive than APT and people act like it’s a god-given gift.

    Yes this is ragebait feel free to bite

    Can someone help explain the meme? I know what pacman -Syu does (I use arch btw) but I actually don’t know why this would be a meme.

      “Arch isn’t a difficult distro! All you need to do is run pacman -Syu now and then! Even my grandma could handle it!”

      (Which is true until something goes wrong and now you’re way more on the hook to un-fuck the system than just about anything that could ever go wrong on a Debian or Fedora based distro)

        Eh. Admittedly, my experience with non-rolling distros is old, but I’d rather take “something minor breaks every couple weeks” over “I tried upgrading the system and now I can’t even get working shell commands if I chroot over from a live USB”.

        Admittedly, that was when I tried upgrading to Fedora Core 5 (or was it upgrading from there?), so ancient history.

          It is beautiful how fedora seamlessly updates now. Can not say the same about Debian. In my current fedora system I once in a while get a notification that a new version is available, I go check the changes in the new release, I press a button in a GUI interface and the upgrade begins. Reboot and everything works.

        Ah I gotcha. People are saying it will fix everything.

        I actually do use Arch, I played with distros for years and settled on Manjaro for a while. I’m rethinking that choice since they let their certs expire for the second time…

      I’m currently an Ubuntu user, and the thought of using a GUI for package management is so foreign to me.
