PS. This is not a critique to Debian-based distros. And i'm not suggesting you to skip Ubintu for Arch either. Arch is a bit advanced and not too easy to new users, so that won't do for some people...
... just install Linux Mint instead.
Mint user: I don't care how much RAM my system uses as long as it works.
The "free (physical) RAM is wasted RAM" adage rules.
Arch is nice, I noticed slightly higher fps in a few games after switching. Not sure how much overhead there is on it, but I use AwesomeWM which I launch from the commandline since I don't have it run at startup, and I must say I do like the interface for launching programs, I can either do the commandline name or the name of the program will often be fuzzy find away in the launch bar...
If only windows had some kind of menu where you could find programs to launch (and not search the web), and not cram adds down your throat.
I know this is just a meme but has Ubuntu fallen that bad?
Ubuntu did welcomed me to the Linux fam 16 years ago or so, so I am grateful but I have not used it for at least 12 years by now
I was going to stack 4 to 6 Arch VMs inside each other.
Now I'm wondering if I can go further...
Tell me how deep the rabbit hole can go.
I use Arch with KDE and a bunch of always open applications. At rest it uses 8GB. I paid for the whole 64GB kit, and I'm going to use the whole 64GB.
Iβve got NixOS with KDE and I run several containerized services through podman. System idles at 5.8gb.
The typical path: Mint -> Arch -> Fedora.
Why go past Arch? What's the use case/flavor?
As someone who uses arch, its just stability. Arch is great for a hobby, if you want to do work, use fedora. Its so much simpler. That being said, I love arch because of the tinkering, and that lack of tinkering is why I switched off fedora.
I "do work" just fine on Arch but maybe I've just gotten used to the quirks and the DIY aspect of it. None of it is an obstacle to productivity anymore.
I do realize I'm not the average person and am some kind of freak that likes to take working stuff apart and put it back together for funsies.
Some people just need an OS that works and don't have time to waste on tinkering and fixing it every so often
Ah, got it. Thanks. :)
People losing their voice from telling everyone they use Arch?
3 years later and I'm still on Mint.
Same. No reason to switch as I have no desire to tinker
Fresh breath -> curved spine -> m'lady
Yeah that's me, but I started on Ubuntu. Arch is awesome, but Fedora does most of the same things and it's so much easier to maintain an installation of
Tiny core Linux: i can run on 64 MB of ram.
Arch is love. Arch is life.
I use QubesOS with Debian templates so ram is something in high demand. Luckily I have plenty of it to spare. I made minimal arch templates to try optimise but it really didn't help once all the required bs was installed.
Arch, btw
Critique *
I think you can use both: https://comparewords.com/critic/critique
The word critic is a noun, the word critique is the verb.
You would have critiques of Debian, not critic.
ok
Damn you edited the original comment and now my reply is out of context. RIP
Gotteeem!
I got got.
You literally just used "critique" as a noun.
A critic critiques and can have a critique. A critic can't critics nor can have a critic. A critic can criticize and can have a criticism.
Ergo the statement "critique is a verb" isn't the whole truth.
Critical thinking suggests that it is critical that everyone understands this.
My statement was within the context of the thread text. Apologies for the confusion.
I installed 26.04 the other day and it seems like a pretty decent release, I may keep it around for a bit.
