My favorite reply from the discussion on lobsters [1]: "Wait till he connects to wifi". Though the pun would have worked better with Gentoo or FreeBSD as I don't recall having wifi connection problems under Arch in the last few years.

- xondono 5y agoIt depends a lot on you module. My laptop now has very spotty wifi (at some point it refuses to work and I have to restart the services).

- boomboomsubban 5y agoI assumed it was a joke about how the installer contains both the firmware and the software necessary to connect to wifi, but the base install doesn't. So Arch support locations are flooded with "I use Arch btw but can't connect to my WiFi help plz."
- matheusmoreira 5y agoNo idea where these instability memes come from. On my laptop the wifi worked pretty much out of the box.
- mnd999 5y agoI stopped having WiFi problems on Arch once I learned the nmcli syntax.
