I’ve been using Arch since I decided to go full-time Linux a year ago, and it’s really not that much work compared to when I tested out Fedora. I run pacman -Syu when I remember to, about twice a week. I update the occasional packages on the AUR once a week. I’ve never had a single broken dependency. Never had to fix graphics drivers (AMD on Wayland, so I can’t say the same about NVIDIA). I don’t even look at the wiki for 99% of the packages I’ve installed. This is definitely made by someone who hasn’t used an Arch-based distro for more than a day.
I started with Omarchy last March, because I was affraid Arch was too much, but it sounded so nice. So I started with Omarchy,because it was easy to start with. Now I’ve seen that it is not actually that scary, I might switch to Arch and not use the dhh distro. I might reuse some config files though.
Dropping the system developed by a raging nazi racist is probably a good idea too!
This person hasn’t used Arch since 2011 but at least it hasn’t hindered their self superiority.
I thought it was a funny joke
Mean spiritedness and superiority aside, it’s also just very trite and hackneyed. Spirit not aside, it doesn’t even read like a joke, just someone desperate to feel superior and projecting their insecurities.
It definitely reads like a joke (i use arch btw).
Nah, “don’t do real work” and “refuse to go to therapy” feel like weird personal attacks, and the follow-up is just restating their opinion sincerely. This person is clearly mad and can’t cope.
That’s exactly the point. It has to feel like a personal attack in order to better convey the joke. Many famous commedians construct their jokes that way. I guess that you are just not familiar with that type of humor, which is ok because it really isn’t for everyone. Something like comparing Friends with it’s always Sunny in Philadelphia - a lot of people just can’t stand Sunny jokes because they are overtly abrasive.
No, I’m familiar with the type of humor, it just doesn’t read like a joke. Again, they follow it up with just stating why they actually believe what they said.
