Has to be shitpost right?
Please someone create a BTW fork of Arch. Then people can say “I use Arch BTW BTW”
I’m shocked it hasn’t been done already.
This might have actually happened.
When I first got a computer I had to put some OS on it. I’ve heard of this thing called Linux, and found about distributions. BUT, “flavors of Linux” was a terrible description.
I wanted the original.
Just pure Linux, nothing else. No Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, no, just pure Linux and nothing else than Linux.I kept searching for that for quite a while. Kernel? I didn’t even know what a partition was.
i guess that is a problem of many open source projects, in particular when they define a standard so that there are different apps with a variety of names. e.g. the server implementation of mumble used to be called murmur, or the “mainstream” client of matrix is element.
Lol yeah I can see how that can be confusing. I was introduced to Ubuntu early as a student through lab PCs, so I just assumed people just said linux, when they meant Ubuntu Linux. Nowadays I use Arch btw
Btw! How has your experience with it been!?
I really like it so far. Using it on my laptop as a learning experience. Won’t be the end of the world if I seriously mess it up or something breaks. Got timeshift installed and have all dotfiles backed up with etckeeper and chezmoi. Also have a list of packages backed up, so I’m feeling confident I can readily set it up again from scratch if need be
I still use bazzite on my gaming PC since I need it to just work and just launch my games, but that might change as I get more experienced.
I had a similar but different experience. My first in-person introduction to Linux was Ubuntu via some training for a job. When the class referred to it as Linux, our instructor would tell us “Technically it’s Ubuntu, not Linux” so I thought Ubuntu was an entirely separate OS that I had just never heard of before
Arch is a practical joke played on Linux users that got completely out of hand
I use arch BMW
Someone should add
-b,-tand-wflags to the Archinstall script
I’ve seen this, here is when you point at a random key and tell them that the “any” key is that one.
Back then when using a computer at work was still rather uncommon you could tell them it was the K and some used that key for years.Legend has it that they moved to “Press a key to continue” because then people would just press A, which would work.
Press the power button
oh, i think i’ll have a tab.
Tab? Can’t give you a tab unless you order something.
Fine give me a Pepsi free
jeez this is hard. Where’s my Tab?
Oh I found it… btw 😂

i don’t recommend Arch smh
Am I the only one who reads smh as ‘somehow’? I know it stands for shake my head, but in my mind it always expands to ‘somehow’. Am I weird?
Its actually ‘smack my hand’, as in give me a high five. I use Arch smack my hand
no as of right of this moment i started reading it as Shaking My How
I just read it as a phonetic noise, not unlike “smeh”.
dammit i’ve watched that 20 times and smeh is starting to not look like a word now
sydney morning herald my head
I thought it meant “something” until I used it with my wife and was corrected
I never liked Arch tbh
So what, it’s different from Arch smh
Many people do seem to like Arch fwiw
At least Windows appears user friendly. Arch otoh is quite hard to set up the first time.
I mean, does anyone even use Arch irl?
Linux newbies shouldn’t use Arch imho
i concur, but a lot of people do start out with Arch afaict
I think it’s okay to start with arch BYMMV
Like any DIY project; some love it, some hate it, some would prefer something that was already set up for them.
Not really. You can use
archinstall. And the guide is quite clear; I’d say it’s more time consuming the first time than actually hard.Genuinely can’t tell if you’re missing the joke or you’re just committed to playing the straight man.
Bruh, no need to rip OP out of the closet in a random Linux thread.
I like it, but it certainly isn’t for everyone.
Someone needs to make an install script that just does that!
Wow, I kinda need to update… I’ve been stuck on outdated Arch afaik
I use Arch btw btw
Gotta
sudo pacman -S btwto get the btw packagesI’m actually disappointed this isn’t a real package. https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=btw
alias btw=fastfetch
I know right? I also checked earlier, I was like… at least 40% sure that there probably was some weird niche utility with that acronym, but evidently not :3
There is this one: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/buildbtw/
It is the transfem version of arch (boy to woman)
Not to be confused with Arch Bitch to Witch.
