Installing arch is fun but endeavour is just so much faster and the end result is the same for me
Controversial take, endeavor is Arch. Just without the major hurdles. I installed Gentoo once. I learned a lot. Things like, I never want to do that again. It was cool and all. But I’m good with click, install, and get on with my life. I do however like rolling releases and not having to wait years to have less outdated versions. Though to some extent flat paks are slowly alleviating that.
Also for some reason the image gives me serious Sam vibes.
Manjaro feels that way to me too.
Arch like/lite? Sure. But without the ability to use the Aur safely you’re missing nearly half or more of what Arch has to offer. I’ve waited a long time for a really good Linux distribution that had an easier usage curve than Gentoo while having a semi decent portage/ports system like the BSD do.
It can still definitely work for a quick and easy Linux gaming system. If your priority is Steam and Nvidia Graphics drivers installed no fuss. Then again so can nobara or the steamos variants.
I’m not going to lie or hate though. I absolutely ran manjaro first before moving on to proper Arch. It was just easy and painless until it got to things like ports and the Aur.
There’s a joke in here somewhere about Arch users being headless lmao
I tried installing Arch once about 10 years ago. I couldn’t get it to work even though I admittedly didn’t try my hardest. I was in a PhD program at the time, so my mental resources and time were quite limited. Still, I had real experience as a sysadmin, so I wasn’t entirely computer illiterate. Every time I see a potential user switching to Linux asking for distro recommendations and others suggests Arch, I internally roll my eyes. Unless that user is a computer programmer or similar looking to prove their skills to themselves, that is a great way to get someone to never switch to Linux because they will more than likely become overwhelmed with the installation.
If you are switching to Linux for the first time and don’t want to spend a frustrating week reading a wiki and troubleshooting lots of minute but consequential issues, don’t start with Arch! Linux Mint is by far the easiest for new users. Give it a run for a while until you feel like switching to more demanding distros.
Hannah Montana Linux is behind you
I use AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCH btw
Me too. Arch Linux with Linux linux.
Based Serious Sam 4 meme
It’s crazy that the people behind Serious Sam made The Talos Principle. A crazy action focused FPS to an intellectual puzzle game focused on exploring philosophy and what it means to be human.
The same people or the same studio? Not necessarily the same thing
Generally the same people. I’m sure some changed over time. It started as them making levels for the next Serious Sam, but they turned out to be really good puzzles mechanics and levels and the decided to make a puzzle game instead.
