I really like Arch in general, I’d use it without the AUR too. Pacman is great, the repos are nice and girthy, the install process is fast, no bloat. Why wouldn’t you use Arch?
I just want new packages and Tumbleweed sucks, and don’t even get me started on Fedora and their codec nonsense. Every time I tried Fedora I run into issues. You can’t even use their packaged version of VLC cause they don’t also package the correct version of ffmpeg. Fedora is a joke. Nobara even worse cause that one is outdated on top of it.
Arch is the way and you are all wrong.
Eh, just my personal opinion. I tried it once and didn’t like it. But I can admit that is similar to me saying “Gnome sucks”. It’s obviously a matter of personal opinion.
Well my arch machine, I update using yay, and speed it takes differs depending on how long I haven’t use that PC. On my TW PC I don’t know the time it needs, since it does it automatically when I turn off the PC…
They just don’t want to get their asses sued for free software
How come the other distros don’t seem to care? Does it just come down to them being based in the US?. They can’t be the only distro mainly based in the US, can they?
VLC would not play ANYTHING. That was installed from RPMFusion in Fedora Kinoite 39. But even IF it were to work, this whole RPMFusion thing is ridiculous. If I had to install a bunch of codecs and drivers from the AUR I would say the same about Arch. That would absolutely kill the distro for me.
i probably just wasted my time on a brainless troll like you.
I love flatpak but if you aren’t using the AUR on arch what’s the point?!
Wait people don’t just install arch to say that they use it ?
I love Arch but I hate installing and configuring it.
But that’s okay as it’s rolling release and unlike other distros you only need to do it exactly once…
Arch wiki
I mean most of it works for every distro, not just arch.

The installation script fails much too often, so you have to do it manually.
it can still be faster than most other installers
He was asking for reasons to not use Arch… Installing by hand is (more than)half the fun.
because i want to trigger arch users
Other distros suck tho
There are people that choose flatpak for some apps and the AUR for other apps I heard from a friend 🌚

Don’t you ever talk to me or my wife’s distro ever again
Ah, a man of culture
What sucks exactly with TW? For me it is Arch in easy mode 😂

I see
For me, KDE sucks 🤭
extremely, unfathomably slow updates.
🤔 never had that issue on my TW machines
It’s an issue with zypper, if you ever updated your device, you did encounter it. Maybe you have never seen how fast Arch updates are in comparison.

Thank software patents for the codec trouble, not Fedora / Red Hat. They just don’t want to get their asses sued for free software
Anyway I can use VLC and ffmpeg just fine with RPMFusion, idk what ur issue is, but judging by that

Hard to argue with that ;)
