skyin7Why would one unuse Arch?
π½πππππππππArch is only the larval stage. When a Linuxite consumes enough CLI, they metamorphose into one of two adult forms: a Void user, or a NixOS user. As these two adult forms are incompatible, this is a rare case of species divergence within a life cycle. Even more oddly, like the axolotl, many Arch users never leave the larval stage, and continue living comfortably in their ecological niche.
ShareniDaamn, Iβm a pupa (Arch -> Debian + Nix)
Yeah, that comment leaves out the βI learned a lot from Arch, but donβt have the time to manage evertythingβ crowd, which goes Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian/Mint/Fedora
I discovered that EndeavourOS satisfied that for me, without me having to give up Arch. And snapper+btrfs-grub has eliminated any interest in messing about with the new line of immutable systems. The only tempting distro I might spend time in is Chimera Linux (link, b/c of an unfortunate naming conflict) which (a little hilariously) is an attempt to make a Linux distro thatβs purely Gnu-free. Chimera also runs dinit instead of systemd, and thatβs interesting.
Anyway, there are a couple of options that let a user stay in Arch but make things less⦠fussy.
I gunked up my system with too much AUR, even with endeavourOS. NixOS might be a bit more suitable for my ADHD brain.
