In case it isn't obvious this is (mostly) ironic lol

Imo it's more the other way around, but that's not necessarily bad. Arch (and Linux in general) gives you a lot more control, while windows tries to block the user from touching the internals. In my experience Arch breaks more often though, but when it breaks I can usually fix it. In Windows things usually work, but when they don't work you might be kinda screwed because the internals aren't that easy to reach.

Imo it’s more the other way around

This isn't something like an imo, that's just a plain fact. The whole thing Arch is absolutely famous for is being super complicated to use but giving the user very much control.

Arch is not complicated to use, just archinstall and type sudo pacman -Syu into a terminal every few days. Most issues can be fixed with the wiki, if it's not documented, ask on the forum. Arch is probably the easiest desktop operating system to use, if you take the time to learn it.

Ok but I’ve never needed a windows wiki and I don’t think the Apple users know what a wiki is.

I run Garuda, but arch isn’t easy, it’s just fixable

I know, I meant this mostly ironically. Also, the arch colors fit the car much better so I didn't have to change those.

Original had an Apple on the right.

More real Linux experience: Your car doesn't have a switch for the turn signals, instead it has a bunch of unlabeled wires under the hood to activate them. When asking around online, people complain about you not knowing it outright, and not hooking up an automated switch to it.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

Even more real linux experience: The turn signal is well documented, labeled really obviously, and anyone will point you in the proper direction, but when you use them the brakes stop working because of an undocumented bug in a proprietary windshield wiper driver, and only you seem to have this problem.

That doesn't make sense, the hood on an Apple would be welded shut.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Not welded, but glued.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's an old one, when you could open the hood.

[–] Basil 1 points 1 year ago

The bare minimum access under the hood sounds about right

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a skill issue /s

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

In the end people just complain that it's too complicated and just don't use the turn signals (seriously there's actually dumbasses who regularly or semi-regularly don't use their turn signals in real life).

I've had Arch implode on an upgrade and force a reinstall. Fuckin nah, bro.

I love Arch but come on

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 17 points 1 year ago

It's pretty stable but when it breaks it usually breaks spectacularly

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

I know, it's a joke lol

[–] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

My main desktop is arch in a VM, but every other system update it breaks steam's gpu usage so I'm finay switching to something more stable

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Have you heard of our lord and saviour, nixos? Btw i use nixos.

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago

It's true, i was there (i use arch btw)

[–] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Actually, with the install script it's pretty easy. There's really few things you gotta do on your own, mostly just installing a couple of packages
