Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    There's no way you're so new to Linux that you wouldn't know if that would update automatically yet you're running Arch btw. That's like saying, "Do I need to do oil changes on my car? I built my engine, btw."

    all you have to do to "run" arch is type out some lines from a YouTube video and press enter. With all the people saying "Arch! Arch!" at every corner it's totally understandable that someone would try it and still be confused on basic stuff.

    Nah, there's a bunch of people (even on Lemmy) that recommend Arch or Arch-derived distributions to newbies. Many mention they haven't used any other distro themselves.

    People are nuts

    I once had someone tell me that they use Arch on there server since it is stable. If it works that is fine but don't go around telling people that Arch is more stable than Ubuntu, Rocky or Debian.

    They would still have to go through that ridiculous install following the Wiki, so I think that they are be pretty well educated on updates.

    [–] nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

    Depends. There's also the included archinstall script, which skips all of that. Just some minimal configuration you find on most distros (Language/Time Zones/Mirrors...) and that's it.

    So yeah, nowadays it's totally possible to end up with a working Arch installation without knowing anything about it besides that one command.

    [–] 97xBang@feddit.online 2 points 3 months ago

    Fine, I'll install Arch (btw). You can stop trying to convince me now.

    Arch stereotype is over with archinstall and direct step by step tutorial. You don't need to know how new release get updated to install arch
