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.
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

Someone needs to make an install script that just does that!

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?
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
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.
I like it, but it certainly isn’t for everyone.
Wow, I kinda need to update… I’ve been stuck on outdated Arch afaik
I use Arch btw btw
You need at least 10000000 good boy points for that one.
It is the transfem version of arch (boy to woman)
Not to be confused with Arch Bitch to Witch.
Gotta
sudo pacman -S btwto get the btw packagesI’m actually disappointed this isn’t a real package. https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=btw

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/
Ever since the rsync debacle, I’m afraid of updating my installation of Arch lmao
Arch BTW BTW.
