Linux getting a GUI and becoming useable made it cool. Bring me back to the red hat days.

its not about Linux…. *sigh*
Where are the oldfags?

I don't get it but check these out

I hate doing computer maintenance even once every two months.

I hate updating and things break, there's some pointless new packages being pulled in, or weird new processes running like the wayland "portals" that exist to bypass all the dumbass design choices wayland developers made that have to be worked around now over 10 years later or else people won't adopt it

I hate that it's summer 2024 when summer 2023 feels like it was yesterday.

summer sun
summer fun ~*

time to install debian

what a debi downer

whatmin is there even still a point of running arch for my use case? the one reason i switched to arch is because the ubuntu ppa for the latest mpv version stopped being maintained and i wanted a feature that wasn't present in the version ubuntu was packaging

also i really like the aur and how it lets you just build everything very easily while on ubuntu if i wanted a package outside of the main ubuntu repos i'd had to track down 3rd party ppas, and if those weren't present building anything seemed like a nightmare and i never bothered with it
however, due to no partial upgrades thing on arch i hate it when i update without realizing something like a new gnome version came out and the update just breaks all the fucking extensions i have and i need to wait for like a month for everything to catch up

but now we have flatpaks with which you can install literally anything on any distro which are independent from your system libraries and packager and the only downside i can see is that they take up more space and that's it

It sounds like you understand the main benefit of Arch (the simplest package build system of any distro, someone made a PKGBUILD for all software that exists)

So you can decide what you want. I've personally thought about going to Gentoo and really going for a minimal system, but maybe only once I'm on wayland and don't need multilib cause Steam/Wine are finally 64bit (the latter is close/half working)

I'll probably be on Arch for the next years at least

Going the Debian stable route seems fun until you need literally anything that isn't in the repos, and 200 of your libraries are too out of date to even build it. Compiling things and "make install" is so messy anyway I don't want to bother compiling outside a package system. I'll never use Flatpak ever either.

>I'll never use Flatpak ever either.

why?

I hate the entire design of it. You are essentially installing several Linux distros on your Linux distro to run programs.

It's not only bloat and causes problems, but it's impossible to audit.

Peter and Sally were exploring the alien caverns when there was a sound from behind them. A green monster stood and while towering over them bellowed, "I am Legy!" Peter and Sally ran and Legy gave pursuit. After running through the dark tunnels, they found a hole to crawl through that Legy couldn't fit though. They left the angered Legy and continued running until they couldn't hear his screams of disappointment. Peter and Sally walked on. "There's no other exits," Peter said. "This tunnel goes straight and never ends," Sally responded, "When will we get out of here?" Suddenly a large spider the size of a Volkswagen Beetle descended from the ceiling. Large fangs extended and eagerly spat two clumps of venom. It's legs reached out and encroached upon the paralyzed Peter and Sally. Peter shouted, ``back to le gee''

I must kill the demons," he shouted! The radio said "No, John. You are the demons." And then, John was a Zombie.
