Not to be the "I use Arch btw" guy, but he follows it with the boot stuck in a black screen with a blinking cursor, which I have just fixed and it took me a week to do so. These characters are so real, damn.

​@@felipedidio46987 months later, did you fix it?

"Microsoft has something to learn here" got me, too.

when Manjaro isn't considered arch but actually has arch bugs too

I switched to Arch because Manjaro breaks too often lol

@@HoloTheDrunk Fr, my first impression of Manjaro was it being broken after a reboot. Arch is now running for 2 years without any issue

@@HoloTheDrunk Same, it would always mess up my bootloader, switched to Arch and have only had one time when I updated and everything exploded, too be fair I was on the testing repos so I've learned my lesson

Still better then windows

And also the video format is probably non-free

Can confirm. We have Astra Linux. In 2018, it was decided to transfer all computers in the military and defense sector to Astra Linux and to abandon Microsoft Windows. Though that balding leader of our country still uses Windows XP. No joke

As a linux user, I feel offended.

@@subsystemd I am just shitposting bro no need for the self critique, the world is largely run by buffoons with zero self awareness and shame while decent and/or intelligent people self censor, so express yourself in any manner you want and disregard anyone telling you otherwise unless there's a clear valid reason.

@@subsystemd Eh, I don't think so. If you just bring up being an Arch user with no context aside from the subject being "Linux", then maybe. But if it's already being satirized in a way that's actually relatable you're just remarking on that, I don't see it as necessarily being a stealth-brag. If someone had said "lol I use Mint and that happens to me all the time", no one would think anything of it.

I'd like to interject for a moment, what you are referring to as drink is actually, GNU/Drink. Or as I have recently taken to calling it, GNU + Drink.

​@@itsfoss5268 Drink is not a beverage unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully drinkable GNU package made useful by the GNU ingredients, bottle utilities and vital cup components comprising a full beverage as defined by "The Coca-Cola Company" and Nestlé.

I’m proud that I get a good chunk of the jokes. I’m mostly windows, but I didn’t realize how much Linux I have played with.

I was shown that video clip when I was first getting into Emacs. I will never use Emacs as I am nauseated by the association with that Stallman clip.

@@Phizev Good for you. Emacs is a hacky crap and a waste of time.

Imagine installing Arch on your only personal computer that wouldn't boot for a KZfaq video :)

I get what you mean, btw.

Grub menu is for noobs. Pros boot to Grub shell.

Cries in elementaryOS

I once used opensuse because i thought that the chameleon on their logo was cool

😹"

i use arch btw

That can't even happen in NixOS

"update regularly so not everything will break at the same time" hahahaha

Used Arch for 7 years. Worked quite well. But you have to reinstall it every 1-2 years or so, otherwise the accumulated mes.. state will cause problems at some time. I switched to NixOS 2 and 1/2 years ago. Can't look back, never had such a well configured System, and I can get the exact same state/configuration on any other machine by using the same configuration. Rollback an update, because it causes issues, no problem. Forgot what you had installed, just check the configuration. Want to try experimental stuff (like e.g. weird Window managers) just hack it together in the config, doesn't work as expected, no problem just get to an earlier state. In Arch you're stagnating at some time, because it gets to messy, in NixOS I'm doing stuff I would've never done in Arch...

O_O "1 year update" Bro... I thought my 2+ week delay was bad.

I love my debian box. Would you like a webserver put in your coffee machine?

​@@zyzsgy I put a Debian webserver on my parents old single core AMD K2 computer, it was incredible. Of course I had to get a new network card first because the drivers no longer existed. Debian server is so minimalist that it doesn't even come with Sudo or Usermod if I remember correctly. Switch to Devuan (Debian without systemd) and the memory usage is hilariously tiny.

My first linux install, which I did a couple weeks ago, was Debian. I'm 90% of the way to not needing windows for game development at all.

What is "Arch from scratch"? You either install Arch or Linux from scratch. Installing Arch is quick and easy, LFS is a compile adventure.

I love how efficient linux users are. You can always find a distro that gets you there faster.

An Arch user unironically commented on this video saying how great Arch is because: "Arch is the go to for me in the past 5 years...you just need to be careful and update regularly so not everything will break at the same time after a 1 year update..." So let's repeat that: Arch is great because if you furiously update it frequently, you will only suffer many small breakages instead of one huge breakage of everything if you waited a while between updates. Truly the pinnacle of distros.

@@MyAmazingUsername LOL hell of a comment dude 🤣🤣

@@jpierce2l33t Arch is that thing people choose after Ubuntu, when they finally know a little bit more about Linux, but haven't yet grown tired of fixing endless bugs. In the end, the smart ones end up back at Ubuntu or Fedora.

@@MyAmazingUsername ..or MXLinux. Sound as a pound, my workhorse for years now 👍

@@jezzamobile Yeah Linux Mint and MX Linux come up often when people talk about reliable distros. :)

Arch never breaks, and when it does you're just doing it wrong.

Fedora is literally bleeding edge.

Fedoras will always be cool. Don't worry. it's just the people who wear Fadoras that aren't cool.

My experience with Mint was that it was slow. I kept having issues with screen tearing and laggy bluetooth. Switched to Fedora KDE X11 and I got everything working top-notch. My machine is a Huawei Matebook 13 with an 8th gen i5.

Hey now! That is... actually super accurate but I still don't like it!

yeah I reinstall my w8.1 whenever I need to get something done. Like print.

I have found out the hard way that there are still people who claim to know things about computers but don't seem to realize that their favorite _everything_ is hosted on Linux, including some Microsoft servers internally.

@@crazyeyes8962 what is your point? Nobody cares what is on the servers, they are good for that. For everyday use? Absolutely no.

RMS is so iconic!
