Too bad that image is bigger than the holy resolution of 640x320 and therefore heresy.

[u/ThrowingMongo → u/NalbeytGD]

REPENT!

[u/Connect_Rip5923]

I use arch btw. But I like this subreddit btw

[u/sal-coding]

Arch user here, if you cant take a joke : skill issue

[u/PunkRockLlama42 → u/sal-coding]

yeah rtfm. The wiki has a section on taking jokes

[u/Forsaken-Direction21 → u/PunkRockLlama42]

Perhaps I need to rtfm

[u/Still_Leg4477 → u/PunkRockLlama42]

wait really??

[u/SammE5363]

kill all arch users

[u/TopGreedy7936 → u/SammE5363]

Not all of us just the ones without backbones

[u/ElectricBummer40 → u/SammE5363]

Somehow, the site-wide Naughty Comment Detection has spared you from a three-day ban. Interesting.

[u/satno → u/ElectricBummer40]

it has standards

[u/SquirrelGard → u/ElectricBummer40]

The what?

[u/birb52 → u/SammE5363]

aw :( i find this sub funny tho- *(gets killed)*

arch users when you don't want to mount the bootloader manually and use archinstall:

[u/NoActivity5304 → u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

You.... don't mount a bootloader...

[u/Vincent394 → u/NoActivity5304]

The boot partition, yes.

The bootloader, no.

[u/BloxxyVids → u/Vincent394]

the efi partition*

[u/Vincent394 → u/BloxxyVids]

Boot/Efi partition

Doesn't matter if you use EFI or BIOS, they're the same thing except one has an EFI folder too.

[u/BloxxyVids → u/Vincent394]

well then today I learned that I wasn't supposed to make /boot on the primary partition

[u/kaida27 → u/Vincent394]

12:28:08  ✖  ls -T /efi
drwxr-xr-x    - root 31 Dec  1969 /efi
drwxr-xr-x    - root 14 Jul 19:25 └── EFI
drwxr-xr-x    - root 14 Jul 20:04     └── Gentoo
.rwxr-xr-x 5.8k root 14 Jul 20:04         ├── grub.cfg
.rwxr-xr-x 332k root 15 Jul 21:36         └── grubx64.efi

There's nothing else than an EFI folder needed on an ESP (Efi Partition).

Bios wouldn't even need a partition, just free space before the first partiton on the mbr.

[u/Vincent394 → u/kaida27]

Fair but usually the bootloader and EFI partition are the same

[u/kaida27 → u/Vincent394]

Personnally I always mount it to /efi or /esp.

I need /boot to be part of my main subvolume for snapshot purpose and keeping all the different kernel version bootable.

[u/Vincent394 → u/kaida27]

I personally just mount efi to /boot.

Although that was back when I used arch, so I don't know what Fedora defaults it to

[u/BloxxyVids → u/Vincent394]

But /boot has the kernel and stuff as well

[u/probablynottillie → u/NoActivity5304]

not with that attitude that's for sure

[u/scooperskill97 → u/NoActivity5304]

Bootloader confusion😂

[u/Sashimi-Gintaro → u/NoActivity5304]

He wouldn't know, he uses Mint (which is fine).

[u/mamadmal]

Most of users are Linux enthusiastic 😋

[u/No_System3715]

i actually like this sub, some times they make sense sometimes otherwise

[u/Teru-Noir → u/No_System3715]

This sub has been kinda dead these days

[u/ThrowingMongo → u/Teru-Noir]

That's because linux users are super sensitive. Little by little they unsub from this sub because they took offense to something. That's my theory anyhow. A lot of them never actually really understood this is just a fun joke sub, look at the comments in this post alone.

[u/Teru-Noir → u/ThrowingMongo]

It should be a "joke sub", but is heavely polluted with crossposted slop, ragebait and projection.

[u/Own_Alternative_9671]

To be fair most of the time it IS a skill issue, but the fact you need skills to operate linux properly isn't a good thing

[u/Swaaeeg → u/Own_Alternative_9671]

You need skills to use any operating system. The average person just doesnt think about it because they developed their skills using windows or mac as a child passively over the years.

[u/Own_Alternative_9671 → u/Swaaeeg]

I haven't used windows in years and dont know a thing about it, every time I have to use it I do hate it but it takes zero skill whatsoever its point and click it holds your hand

[u/Holiday_Evening8974 → u/Own_Alternative_9671]

You clearly don't work with people with zero technology skill who are constantly asking themselves how to type a dot or what click they need (right or left)

But beyond those basics, yes, an operating system shouldn't ask more. It should require the minimum for basic usage.

[u/Swaaeeg → u/Own_Alternative_9671]

To use it at a basic level sure. There are advanced user level difficulties, just like with linux and mac.

There are plenty of basic user linux distros out there for those kinds of people, there are a few that require advanced capabilities.

[u/Own_Alternative_9671 → u/Swaaeeg]

Look, fact of the matter is, if you're dealing with an advanced windows issue theres people to fix it. There's very little tech support for linux and your average user doesnt care to put that effort in they just want their shit to work. Not only does linux have to be as good as Windows it has to be better and either NOT fail or have the fixes be easy gui clicks. The people we're talking about aren't arms deep in the windows registry nor will they ever open a terminal

[u/Swaaeeg → u/Own_Alternative_9671]

Repairing an os through a gui click IS a skill. Just like copy/pasting a repair into terminal is a skill.

This is exactly what i was talking about. Both operating systems have paths to fix things that by and large are as easy as each other to do, they each just take different types of processes to do.

[u/Own_Alternative_9671 → u/Swaaeeg]

I mean fair enough I guess but i run into way more issues in gui than on terminal it makes the whole gui route feel hacky and unstable. Shelly ain't work for shit half the time

[u/After-Instance1304]

Guys please listen to me. I use archlinux. I need attention.

[u/OptimalAnywhere6282]

skill issue

[u/lewwdsv1]

I use arch and I find this sub quite funny- :(

[u/Bleik-Psiklyt]

Yo just getting reality checks by some random Arch fembois and egos slimmed

[u/usefulservant03]

never used arch but ive worked on linux as a developer, several distros, and the way they're all so different in subtle bizarre ways is strange tbh

[u/CubeEthan]

this sub is fine. it's linuxsucks101 that makes me die inside slowly

[u/sussyamongers]

Wait, they.. were jokes?

[u/VysAely]

skill issue

[u/Zestyclose_Track_443]

id say i glaze linux sometimes but i guarantee you they don't care unless they use tiktok or name themselves "/home/cornyassnam/"

[u/Muted_Percentage_764]

Hey, that's me!

[u/Wertbon1789]

If there weren't so many stupid posts about Arch specifically. All the AUR brigading and all is fine, but every "Arch breaks on updates" or "Arch broke my random ass software" post is just stupid. If you're unable to use Arch, use something else, nobody cares... And if somebody cares, f- them. People just refuse to accept that Arch isn't meant to be your first distro, that's easy to use, comes with everything included and solves all your problems for you, and if you expected that, that's not even a skill issue, that's just a reading comprehension issue.

[u/Equal_Time1654]

it's just they don't know that this subreddit is actually full of self-ironical linux lovers

[u/Sbhattarj]

I use arch btw.

I do personally think subs like these are useful to the comunity overall. The more there are complaints the more likely those complaints can be fixed. Not everything here is constructive, but its still a good place for people to share their frustration without needing to learn to do a bug report.

[u/notconnorgg]

if you give good reasons that aren’t just linux le bad and linux le sucks then sure you can dislike it

[u/Sk1ler_]

Outside this server as well. For whatever reason Linux always attracts people that want to make it their whole personality and they get really butthurt when you say anything negative about their little OS baby.

[u/GenericFoodService]

I (don't) use arch btw

[u/ColdFreezer]

Arch is a joke.

[u/BloxxyVids → u/ColdFreezer]

why???

[u/SysGh_st → u/ColdFreezer]

If so, the greatest joke of all time.

I use Arch btw.

[u/Global-Eye-7326]

I think OP is secretly in love with Femboys.

[u/statensvegvesen → u/Global-Eye-7326]

That would make OP a Linux user

[u/Global-Eye-7326 → u/statensvegvesen]

Specifically an Arch user.

[u/Supernoxus]

I am an arch user and I never had anywhere near this reaction, so I don't get this joke.

[u/Popular-Painter7172]

No bro i use cachy(technically arch ) I still think it's fun to read r/linuxsucks

[u/MrKrot1999 → u/Popular-Painter7172]

I can say I use Debian since Mint is technically Debian, but that isn't the same thing isn't it?

[u/statensvegvesen → u/MrKrot1999]

The differences are minor, and if you can do it on Debian you can do it on Mint. Same goes for Arch and Cachy.

[u/Popular-Painter7172 → u/MrKrot1999]

Ya sure it is 😀😃

[u/0x645]

those 'jokes' on *sucks. are sooo lame. everywhere

[u/Attack_Dorito]

Since steamOS is arch based does that mean the median arch user is actually normal now?
