    Can we please just ban distro war ragebait?

    It’s 2025 and I’m sick and tired of it. You can feel cool for using a specific distro for all I care, you are embarrassing yourself at worst. You are toxic for shitting on other distros or creating an adversarial narrative tho

          I watch a lot of his videos. But I didn’t watch this one because I loathe and resent clickbait titles. I would imagine a fair number of people chose not to watch and down voted because of the clickbait title alone.

      "This goes against my distro choice and I need validation to feel superior! "

      Reading the comments, it’s obvious they either didn’t watch the video and those that did, missed the point of what he was saying and got butthurt instead… Internet comments on a nutshell

    You should go see Gentoo or something if ArchLinux causes you problems.

    It’s my go-to rescue cum doing-backups cum new-install distribution because it’s clean (meaning low cruft), minimalist, and most importantly, rolling. I run it as a console OS. I adore it.

    Have I run it as my Workstation OS? Yes. Would I again? No. It was too fragile then.

    Pacman is too strange to use with the options reduced to letters and having to include the double dash every time you remember the long form. Gimme dnf, Aptitude or flatpak.

    My daily driver is Fedora. Is my heart in my mouth every six months when 4,000 packages all need reinstalling? Yes.

    Have I tried Debian Testing&Sid as semi-rolling? Yes, fantastic, until they did something weird with systemd instead of just doing the conf locations as intended like everyone else. And the weak-dependencies lists were unfunny. Did I mention I loved aptitude?!

    Have I tried, source distros (exherbo, Gentoo, funtoo)? Yes, never got any work done. I was always compiling something for that 1% corner-case performance gain.

    Don’t think I’ll try anything else save maybe openSUSE or that NixOS. The first seriously, the second for fun - NixOS smells a tiny bit like Gentoo or ArchLinux to me (sorry, not sorry).

    Personally, I think bro needs an immutable Linux OS. Fedora SilverBlue, openSUSE MicroOS, the ArchLinux one.

    Then someone needs to write a timer such that when he’s really concentrating hard at 2am, it stops and puts some graphical meme on the screen for three hours. Then he’ll feel at home.

    Dude straight up says “SteamOS doesn’t work on everything” and in almost the same sentence says “Bazzite is cool”. This guy does not understand puters AT ALL 🤣

    Also, the rant about the terminal while complaining about Arch about made me laugh so hard I’d sploosh.

    Using a tool for a job you don’t understand will yield unexpected results, fool. 😘

      What’s wrong about that statement? Try installing SteamOS on Nvidia hardware and tell me how it went ;) why do you think Bazzite exists in the first place? SteamOS in it’s current state is not meant to be installed on other hardware, it’s a recovery image for the deck. Sure, if you have compatible AMD hardware you COULD do it, but you can’t even choose which drive to install it on cause there is no proper installer. If you want the SteamOS experience on other devices just use Bazzite.
