- throwaway314155 2y agoSteam Deck runs Arch as it turns out.
- bdhcuidbebe 2y agoThat meme got old. I use arch, btw, because its a solid rolling release and the AUR. Its the absolute best distro for a developer, theres really no competition.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoAgreed. I use a flavor called EndeavourOS. Very happy with it. I have had bad experiences with other flavors in the past like Manjaro. I think yay is peak for me so far.
- otabdeveloper4 2y agoLast time I checked (a couple years ago) the version of nix in Arch repos shipped a subtly modified default configuration that rendered it broken, so yeah, a quintiessential Linux experience.
- Rikudou 2y agoInstalling nix from a package repository feels very wrong.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoYou can always get it from a AUR on arch which is user repos if thats the case, kinda like Ubuntus PPAs.
