Arch linux sucks install#

Ok, how do I do that? Well, git clone, download and install some dependencies, configure, make. How do you do that? Well you need to compile Ocaml. How do you compile Ocaml? Well you need to have Ocaml on your system, dummy. Oh wait, it's on Ocaml, because fuck mainstream languages, we're hipsters. Want it on Debian? You need to compile it. Want to integrate with Google Drive? Yeah, there's a tool that mounts the drive as a local directory. Because why the fuck not install 3 display managers when you want a network manager, of which one is old and dying, one is young and stupid, and another is an infant that died of cancer?Ĥ. And when you try to install network-manager, it also tries to install Mir toolkits. Don't know what that is? That's just basic knowledge for Linux. Let's talk about displays, shall we? xorg is old and deprecated, right? We got Wayland that's mostly stable.

Does it work? Ask my headphones who sound like a fucking dial-up modem.ģ.

Arch linux sucks software#

It's a mix of 10 year old software that works badly, with a 5 year old replacement that works worse, somehow trying to live under the same roof. How about several different service management systems being deprecated by new ones, each having different configurations and calling methods? Apparently systemd is old and lame now. And why am I using pulseaudio? Why not alsa? years ago people were discussing on forums that pulseaudio is old and dead, yet here we are with new LTS release of Ubuntu still shining with Pulseaudio.

Exciting research, don't get me wrong, but at this point it looks more like a toy than a reliable desktop computer operating system.Ģ. How do I know that you ask? The same way I know everything else - every time you try to do something new on any Linux, it involves a ton of research. Did I say 'work'? Well no, because after more research you realize that Debian on Gnome3 on gdm3 launches pulseaudio on its own, so you have 2 instances of pulseaudio, and one of them is stealing your headphones sometimes and you either have no sound or shitty sound.

Arch linux sucks Bluetooth#

Plug in Bluetooth headphones? Well no, sorry, you have to research that online, since you'll probably need to install some packages for it to work. XFCE4 is years old and buggy as hell especially on multi-monitor set-up, Gnome3 gets stuck more often than my Windows 98 machine used to, KDE is like a rich kid on meth. It's usable as a Windows replacement just fine - FALSE. I know what I'm talking and this title is a bit click-baity, but this just has to go out there:ġ. I'm using it as my main OS for a few years now. Tl dr: Please give users a grace period to install updates.Now now, chill. I've opened Slack on my old macbook, and had a three month old version still work without a hitch. I'm all for forcing users to eventually update - but give everyone a reasonable amount of time to do so. Users of mobile tethering and metered connections often prefer to wait until they are on an non-metered connection before downloading updates.Corporate device policies may lock down app versions.Community-driven package managers can be slower to catch up.There are a number of reasons why updating might not be possible right away, including: Even for a hotfix, it's unreasonable to assume that everyone will have instant access to the latest version.

Arch linux sucks update#

Many Linux users prefer to use package managers over manually installingĭiscord should not be forcing users to update to the latest version immediately after each release.
