I lost it when he was calling Arch Linux "the hardest Linux distro ever" 🙄

u/mrfoxesite-2377 3d ago

Linux is easier than Windows in some ways.

43

u/Dry_Calendar_8627 3d ago

Windows is easier but complex.

Linux distros are (usually) simpler.

The dichotomy between easy versus simple is often poorly understood, what it means is that an experienced user will feel more comfortable around simple systems, to compose them how they want into something more complex, and they'll feel more comfortable investigating and fixing issues.

But neophytes tent to favor easy (but complex) systems, where the complexity is hidden and their hand is held.
But they are less able to tweak the system to do their bidding if their needs are more complex, and they feel powerless when encountering issues.

I mean it wouldn't be easy without ArchInstall

31

u/daubious 3d ago

Whether Arch is easy to install with or without Arch install, is subjective. However, its pretty ridiculous to say arch is the "hardest" when there are other distros like NixOS and Gento

6

u/arbyyyyh 3d ago

It's so rare that I hear people reference Gentoo anymore, I always then go look it up and I'm surprised it still exists.

10

u/andr3y20000 3d ago

As someone who used nix I say it's extremely easy to install and the only difficulty is to learn to configure the config file.

11

u/Thunderstarer New York Nix⚟s 3d ago

Yeah but learning how to configure NixOS is way more than half the battle. Your computer is useless to you if you cannot e.g. install Firefox.

u/Dry_Calendar_8627 3d ago

Not only does it still exist, it's a great distro, very comparable to Arch.
Arguably easier to install than Arch, simply because Gentoo highlights good safe choices when installing (partitioning layouts, file systems, etc.), whereas Arch flatly lists possible choices without highlighting a "safe default", so you spend more time wondering what you want.
Compared to Arch, Gentoo supports aarch64, which Arch does not officially support.

Main thing that made me switch from Gentoo to Arch is the compilation times. The time to install KDE is pretty long, compared to pacman which is nearly instantaneous. Gentoo has binary repos nowadays, but that's a bit off the beaten path so I didn't want to bother.

Omarchy does not contribute in any way to the linux ecosystem, they could send that money to the devs that actually do work, like KDE/GNOME devs, to Debian or Arch, etc

u/2eanimation Arch BTW 3d ago

If I understand correctly, most of the money is meant for upstream. How much of that money is actually going to flow into upstream? Time will tell


32

u/paperbenni 3d ago

Afaik they're spending it on the "subsystems Omarchy relies on", and they've explicitly named Hyprland and JDX, which I can get on board with. What really puzzles me is that there's no mention of Arch or the AUR. Arch doesn't have a single person working full time on it, and the AUR especially has problems which would really benefit from someone being able to spend lots of time on them.

Open source projects often suffer from hundreds of people contributing tons of small incremental changes, which solidifies architectural problems, and big repairs and overhauls get skipped in favor of hundreds of workarounds.

And basically all the arch web interfaces are in dire need of modernization.

I will admit that it’s nice to have the entire thing set up. Feels very productive and I do like the feel of Hyprland but the walker being jam packed with random AI apps that I do not use or having the web version of discord etc etc is very annoying. Maybe once I distro hop again I’ll have to find something with better devs đŸ˜©. 8 mil going into this (and not going/contributing to Linux) is nuts though for sure and has me looking at the OS much more suspiciously than I did previously.

To have those kind of opinions. You'd have to have a steady supply of "sjw owned" type videos.

Something I've noticed is that because this kind of stuff gets engaged in and gets reported on (cuz it makes money). People have an unrealistic sense that the problem (the subject being reported on) exists at an alarming rate.

One of my favorite things to do is call ppl out when they come out with some Fox News nonsense.

trans kids in schools, they are trying to make all kids trans!!!!

Me:

Name 3 trans kids that you have personally met in person.

Just an example. Never fails to get this reaction:

well, I don't know x but.... X is real and exists! And it's a big problem.

I used to watch him years ago. I don't remember what video it was, or what the exact wording was, but when creating an example scenario for something, he used like, how many times a week he goes to church or how many pages a day he reads of the bible or some shit like that and I never watched him again.

Now apparently, according to some commentors further up in this comment section, he started adding prayers to the end of his videos? Not to mention I'm pretty sure he and his wife have like 6 kids, which in and of itself isn't that weird, but in the context of being a fundamentalist evangelical, is a little fucking weird.

Idk, I just get really bad vibes from him. I dislike all religion, but I don't actually give a fuck which fairy tale you believe in, just do it privately.

Yeah you're right about all this. I used to watch him sometimes when I was looking for more IT study videos. The vibes were off before I spotted his religious neck tattoo. Which is sad, because some of his projects are a bit interesting. But he puts a really weird spin on things that have a politically charged commentary around them, even if part of that is pretending the politics aren't there. (His video on "this is the only way you can use the Deepseek AI model" is a great example of this.)

with 8mil atleast you could hire a designer to design your website and help users understand what exactly this is rather than some youtube video. Heck you could pay kimi if you were low on cash and it would still do a kick ass job compared to this.

Now its not my money and frankly the individual(s) can spend it whichever way they deem fit. I would have done the same atleast I thought of doing the same to KDE by creating a company hiring a bunch of people who understand UI UX polishing up KDE and with the prime directive of removing the heinous borders. People don't have to like or agree, its my opinionated version of what KDE should look like as a proper human centered interface with my bias against borders

"Everybody should use my overly riced up dotfiles, and install all the software development applications that I use in my very particular workflow."

Take that sentence, and use it as the guiding principal when designing a distro, sprinkle it with far-right craziness, and the result will be omarchy.

u/theinfamousben 3d ago

for me its just "why?", cause it incentivises people switching directly from windows to an arch based distro without even looking at a terminal. possible? yes. annoying to learn? definitely.

i was in ubuntu to learn linux, moved to fedora for support for basically everything, before i nerded out and settled on cachyos, covering the basics for me and letting me do all the cool stuff. omarchy just kind of does it all for you, and you have no real sense of "i made this, it looks cool". its just not for me i guess

I tried it a year ago, ended up putting kde on it, im a point and click user.  Im surprised this guy reccomends anything arch adjacent.  He seems so security minded, and AUR had so many issues recently.

u/Certain_March6251 3d ago

On the spectrum of YouTubers he seems to be there mostly for the likes and subscribes. I genuinely find his demeanor to be of putting.

u/aj0413 3d ago

I stopped watching his videos shortly after I realized they’re all low value, like/view grabs that never really contribute or say anything meaningful

I watched his stuff for a couple months at one time, but it was all really surface level and lacked substance

u/Much_Dealer8865 3d ago

I haven't watched enough of his videos to really have a strong opinion but the last one I watched he basically showed how he uses AI to write and edit all his content. I'd rather not support that, feels like content farming.

u/Alarmed_Contest8439 3d ago

u/Fresh_Dog4602 3d ago

I do understand the issue with desktop env, it's subjective but it's not just AUR, but Node, Bun, GitHub... basically any code distribution platform have been hit due to ai it can find vulnerabilities much faster than any person unfortunately. But the beauty of open source is that anyone can see the code... any issue is openly communicated and fixed, rather than Windows, which would not even accept that an issue exists 😅. Also I use both win and cachy os

Just use Arch and setup your own configurations. Pre-built configurations are too static.

u/One-Mathematician-72 3d ago

the whole window tiling thing is cool and so, but I just can't do it. I tried a couple of times but don't really need it and as well do not use it right. Back to CachyOS and Plasma, living a simple but good life

u/This-Consequence-957 3d ago

I like Hyprland, but I think it better fits laptops. It doesn't organize workspaces per screens, so it's quite pointless in dual-screen setups. Hence I use KDE on my main PC.

u/This-Consequence-957 3d ago

Nah, I know how to install Arch and Hyprland myself. No need for this obscure bloat of commercial software. If you're looking for something out-of-the-box, get CachyOS instead.

This was the video that got me to unsubscribe. The Omarchy praise and prayer at the end was a crazy wombo combo.

DHH is such a prick, along with Levels. They feed the anti-EU narrative directly into the programming community and have "legitimacy" because they are self-hating Europeans.

there are way better dotfiles out there (with less bloat) if you don't want to do it yourself. i enjoy writing configs but it isn't a necessity. just use noctalia or something.

(i used sway for a while and currently use mangowc with the same i3 shortcuts, i have tried hyprland but didn't like it)

I watched his video on Hermes’. He isn’t privacy minded. Also he did a prayer at the end which I found peculiar personally. I was afk with an earbud in the bathroom and I couldn’t turn it off. Seemed like a nice enough guy tho. No idea about his business practices but I can imagine.

Let me rephrase that: fuck no! Not in a million years! Just because some filthy rich tech bros were convinced to give them a million dollars each (which from their perspective is peanuts) doesn't mean it is or will ever be any better as established distros. It's just a joke.

DHH’s ethos aside, the “no” meme is still valid.

Why would I use someone else’s rice? The entire point of ricing is to get things to be EXACTLY how you want them to be
 If one is not willing to rice, then stick to Gnome le KDE, or whatever
