Arch Linux is the only Linux. It's so easy to learn and use. Arch Linux is the only operating system. It takes 20 minutes to learn arch if you know Linux and Unix.
- hans1729 7y agoI mean, we wouldn't have this without arch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngwv_r-zzI0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngwv_r-zzI0 (George Hotz livestreaming himself installing arch, just for the sake of it) Watched it while having half a bottle of merlot, _easily_ the best content I've seen to date.
- enriquto 7y agoarch feels to me like an over-engineered mess. For a truer unix experience I'd rather suggest void or slack.
- Carpetsmoker 7y agoIt's not perfect, but I find it's in a good intersection between "simple" but still "fairly mainstream", which has its advantages.
- mruts 7y agoI used to run Slackware, and the user experience is pretty terrible compared to Arch or OpenBSD. The absence of a package manager that tracks dependencies is not a “truer” Unix experience. All the BSDs provide a more Unixy experience than Linux and they all track dependencies. If Slackware was updated more often, the system would work better. The dynamic libs are always way out of date, and god help you if you want to install a newer version.
- enriquto 7y agothis depends on your point of view. For me, being able to install a package even when some dependences are not met is a fundamental feature. Regarding the versions, slackware-current is a very up-to-date rolling distro (e.g. much more so than ubuntu).
