No big difference between those two methods of install. You get the real medal when a random upgrade breaks some software and you are able to track down the issue and corresponding solution(s).
Where are these random breaks?
I usealias update='yay -Pw ; pacman -Syu ; yay -Syu'
to update and never encountered one.python version bump always broke a handful of aur packages for at least a couple days for me. In general tho, all my problems were related to aur packages not getting updated at the same rate as official repos.
switched to nixos and avoided that entire class of problems
Shout out to Julia from Drawfee on youtube for the bottom art. It’s Bobby.
No!! Julia!! That’s Bobby Hill??
The room is in shambles.
The room full of vampires?
I came looking for your comment. Julia birthed a meme
One of many. Merobiba is still one of my faves.
Sorry
SORRY
Yo Arch users. Try daily driving Linux From Scratch. I dare ya. Let’s see what you’re really made of.
Been there. Done that.
Endeavour Os was the best thing I ever used. Easy to install, out of box is minimal but sufficient. I traded my Linux Mint to be able to customize my workflow, look and feel.
I used it for a while too before I learned about archinstall. eOS has a great community though. I use their forum to look for answers often
Is that Bobby Hill?!
Yes
Thank you I tried to figure out how one could recognize Bobby Hill in this drawing.
Seeing that face “in the wild” blew my damn mind.
I don’t use Arch but if I did id probably go with archinstall. I don’t see the point in going from scratch unless you absolutely need to. I could care less about bragging rights for installing an operating system lol.
I just don’t bother going for archinstall when regular installation “from scratch” takes 5 minutes (or 15, if you do it the first time). It is not scary and extremely simple, contrary to memes. Besides, it makes you understand the processes involved.
Archinstall is just a little, nice helper to shorten and simplify installation even more.
You mean “couldn’t care less”. The way you’ve written it means that you do care a bit since you “could care less”.
idk why, but everytime I try archinstall it breaks in one way or another. I’m sure it works perfectly well for everyone else, I’m just cursed
note: not seeking advice, I prefer my manually installed FDE + secureboot EFISTUB setup anyways
I’ve found that’s usually true with many tech things. Everyone has a great time and I’m just cursed.
My current issue is that I can’t remote into the machine at all beyond ssh. Any attempt at a session just refuses to work no matter what guide, fix, video, forum post, etc I follow.
I was going through some stuff and installing Arch from scratch was the only way I could feel anything at all.
Every now and then I see that laptop and think "I should keep going and install those power management scripts ". Then I think “nah”.
I never had success with archinstall, just the regular installation.
It’s kinda weird, actually.
I use EndeavourOS and it works without issues.
Jeee EOS gang!
built as in “made the os”? If so, then yes they probably cried a lot those damn wizards
Why use Arch when you can do LFS?
The new / rewritten arch install is fantastic. The btrfs layout, with encryption, really nice experience and end result.
archinstall is actually good now though I’ve used it
You are becoming one punch man??
All that and we don’t find out who she was drawing?
EDIT: i might be dumb
Wait, they don’t say it in the video?
I misinterpreted the “IT’S NOT” at the very end to be coming from the artist :P
Oh, I think that’s one of the other artists who was incredulous that his partner managed to draw Bobby so poorly 😅
Why are you commenting on 4 week old posts
