  • Without distros there would be no Linux desktop ecosystem to begin with. Also who’s to say what true value is?

    Every distro comes with people who don’t just maintain their own stuff, but contribute to the whole ecosystem. It doesn’t need to be a Debian or Arch to be worth something.

    So again, please don’t start bickering about what’s most important. It all got its place, and someone calling for donations for good thing A does not undermine good thing B. All good things need attention.

    Can’t confirm. Of course the first time you listen to a new song isn’t the same since you don’t know what to expect, but from then on you can vibe to it even better for a while since it’s new. I’d even assume this is the reason for the “repeat song” feature and why some people listen to a single new song for hours.

    Dunno, I have a hard time understanding your perspective.









  • This. It’s a good distro to base something else on (like SteamOS), and therefore good to learn how distros work without the need to even now how software as a whole works (that would be Gentoo).

    It’s however horribly unstable, finicky and time-consuming as a daily driver as all the tiny adjustments and pre-configuration other distros make are missing by design.

    It’s good if you want to become the soldier.




  • Well yes, although with Arch Linux it’s a necessity. Most distros using apt do come with graphical software centers as well. Unfortunately many people in the community indeed do ignore those tools instead of pointing to them. Hell, some even still recommend editing the god damn fstab file despite it being perfectly manageable with both Gnome and KDE tools, which are present in most popular distros and way safer unless you really know what you’re doing. To have those on Arch you’re forced to use CLI tools first.

    It was more of a rant about the community than an argument against Arch.
