I know about pacman, no need to say it a dozen times.

On the bright side, nobody yelled at you. 434 comments (and counting).

Yes, but have you heard about the good things pacman -Syu can do for you?

Too many pacmans :(

You take that back

I don’t need that much pacmans. Just throw them away.

One of the unexpected boons of using Ubuntu is that there are fewer zealots. If I say it sucks, nobody gets offended. Actually, I think more people get offended if you say that Ubuntu doesn’t suck.
Show threadcaseyweedermanFeb 26
I’m offended that you suggested that Ubuntu may or may not suck

Can someone help explain the meme? I know what pacman -Syu does (I use arch btw) but I actually don’t know why this would be a meme.
Show threadBassman1805Feb 26

“Arch isn’t a difficult distro! All you need to do is run pacman -Syu now and then! Even my grandma could handle it!”

(Which is true until something goes wrong and now you’re way more on the hook to un-fuck the system than just about anything that could ever go wrong on a Debian or Fedora based distro)

Show threadpsilotopFeb 26

Ah I gotcha. People are saying it will fix everything.

I actually do use Arch, I played with distros for years and settled on Manjaro for a while. I’m rethinking that choice since they let their certs expire for the second time…

Show threadJesus_666Feb 26

Eh. Admittedly, my experience with non-rolling distros is old, but I’d rather take “something minor breaks every couple weeks” over “I tried upgrading the system and now I can’t even get working shell commands if I chroot over from a live USB”.

Admittedly, that was when I tried upgrading to Fedora Core 5 (or was it upgrading from there?), so ancient history.

Show threadranzispaFeb 27
It is beautiful how fedora seamlessly updates now. Can not say the same about Debian. In my current fedora system I once in a while get a notification that a new version is available, I go check the changes in the new release, I press a button in a GUI interface and the upgrade begins. Reboot and everything works.

Show threadFauxLivingFeb 27

Can’t install Package A because Package B depends on it. Can’t upgrade Package B because it requires the new version of Package A.

pacman -Syuuuuu

Suck it, mirrors.

Show threadPotatoesFallFeb 27

Arch users like to feel smart for making their own life hard. pacman somehow managed to create an interface even less intuitive than APT and people act like it’s a god-given gift.

Yes this is ragebait feel free to bite

Show threadmeowFeb 27

You know that there is an easier way to use pacman? Right??

Pacman --upgrade/–sync/–remove/etc.

Show threadPotatoesFallFeb 27
Idk man, how about pacman install. Why are core functionalities behind flags. And what does syncing have to do with installing a package. It just don’t sit right with me
Show threadMagnum, P.I.Feb 27
Sync with the repo, no?
