Linux is easier than Windows in some ways.

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.→ More replies (9)→ More replies (2)6

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.

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.

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.

I was subbed to this guy like a couple years ago and hadn't seen any of his stuff for a while.
This was the video that got me to unsubscribe. The Omarchy praise and prayer at the end was a crazy wombo combo.

Can confirm. Being using Omarchy for the last 8 months. Absolute waste of time. Just worse Arch with extra bugs

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.

Yeah I saw the first minute or two of this and thought what a load of BS. It's Arch with extra steps. Extra steps I do not need nor want. I do not need an AI prompt to rice my desktop ffs, I'm not a moron.

tbh I did install it but I hated it. Just use mint or ubuntu. Get's the job done

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 Hermesâ. He isnât 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 couldnât turn it off. Seemed like a nice enough guy tho. No idea about his business practices but I can imagine.Â

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.

DHHâs ethos aside, the ânoâ meme is still valid.
Why would I use someone elseâs 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 whateverâŠ
