The installation process of different Linux distributions

Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.

I use NixOS btw

Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.

Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.

Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.

And here I just spent an afternoon trying to get hibernation working on fedora unsuccessfully

Enuf with the Arch hate already..

Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.

And no I don't use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.

I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly....

With the amount of time and effort used to make this dumb meme I could have installed Arch a dozen times

Author: "I use Fedora BTW"

the gentoo user is still selecting kernel options they will never need while libre office compiles

I can only laugh at the comics they need to make to justify their distros. I use my Arch machine for work and it works far better than when I was using Debian. Also I am not putting up with an ancient kernel and Nvidia drivers. I even have to setup pipewire manually on debian and on Fedora it's codecs. Both ridiculous.

Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?

I'll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!

Installed with archinstall and got it up and running in less than 30 minutes. Assuming you have used linux before it really shouldn't take too long, i use arch btw

You have a problem with veganism?

I've had more issues with most distros than arch.

Gentoo users: Signature look of superiority. (their face has frozen that way while waiting for packages to compile)

Meanwhile the OpenSUSE user is sitting contently in their bubble while everyone else is fighting.

Personally I've had more issues tweaking Debian to just work as needed then Arch

the fucking fedora tip. this meme is so goddamn cringe. Also why attack vegans?

10 minutes, that's what i need to install my arch system

I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time. However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro. i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.

You look like you have some biases. btw.

I had more troubles with Debian than arch. I have some old nvidia stuff and some non-standard sound stuff.

nowadays archinstall will get you up and running nice and quick. I broke my setup the other day by misusing paru. I wish arch didn't have this reputation. other than me uninstalling my own display manager it's been perfectly stable through every update since I installed it years ago. the wiki has incredible amounts of digestible information that has helped me set up anything I want. it's true that it can be more difficult than other distros, and there are some elitists. but it's a good choice for people who like to tinker.

Inaccurate. Everyone knows vegans prefer Debian.

Yeah but AUR is so fucking sexy

I don't read the wiki because I can't read.

That arch laptop looks exactly like my laptop lmao

Whoever made this eons ago was a genius.

Is the joke supposed to be that vegans can't read instructions?

totally anecdotal.... but i've installed debian on a bunch of different machines and i've never had to "prepare additional installation media" for any weird hardware/firmware/drivers.... i just installed the base system and connected ethernet if any non-free stuff is needed. has anyone ever come across an ethernet interface that didn't work out of the box? maybe it didn't work 100%, but at least good enough to download the proper firmware to fix?

Fake. What about installing the GPU drivers?

If you disable cache.nixos.org you too can have gentoo but with nixos 😏

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

If you know what your doing you can install arch faster than debian or fedora

I am a vegan with a manbun, but I use Fedora.

"Vegan" lmfaoo

I've had Ubuntu and derivative distros break on me infinitely more times than I've ever had Arch or its derivatives break at all.

Usually going from one major update of *buntu/Pop based distro to another.

Using Endeavour ATM, but tempted to give NixOS a crack and see what it's like...

I use cloister by the way.
It's like arch but you reinstall it at least 10 times in a row before you get anywhere.

I started installing it about a year and a half ago and I think it's still not finished. The best distro is the one you can using during installation.

As an arch user myself, I have to agree. This is eerily true. I love and hate arch for what it is. Just don't leave your laptop in the closet without updating it every few months. It's pretty certain that you have to reinstall arch if you wait too long.
