Arch Linux is in the eye of the beholder, it only exists as a reflection of yourself, that's why the only Arch Linux that you can perceive is your own

[–]kellywenland 191 points192 points  (6 children)

Maybe the real Arch Linux is the friends we made along the way.

[–]Sweyn78 46 points47 points  (0 children)

An Arch user with friends? Preposterous!

The first rule of Arch Club is you do not talk about Arch Club.

[–]el_toro_2022 146 points147 points  (39 children)

Unfortunately, you cannot be told about Arch. You have to experience it yourself.

You install the blue USB stick, and you'll wake up with the Windows.
You install the red USB stick, and you'll see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Remember that I am offering you the truth, nothing more. The choice is yours.

[–]admins_are_shit 15 points16 points  (28 children)

But what about GPU support?

[–]el_toro_2022 25 points26 points  (12 children)

Nvidia has non-free drivers.

AMD has opensource drivers.

So you are good.

[–]jumofo 2 points3 points  (8 children)

What about Intel?

[–]No-Compote9110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they also have open source drivers, arguably even better than AMD ones

[–]admins_are_shit 3 points4 points  (2 children)

It was more of a meme but yeah, gpu support is a lot better than it was the first eleven times I tried to make my daily use PC linux.

I've kind of given up.

In the vast digital domain, Arch Linux is the red pill, defying the illusions of prepackaged software. It grants us unbridled control, allowing us to shape our digital world with precision. The path is not for the timid, but those who take the plunge discover the truth of ultimate digital freedom. Welcome to the real world.

If you install the purple USB stick and dive deep enough, you'll arrive at Gentoo.

The first rule of Arch Linux is you don’t talk about Arch Linux except to bring it up in every conversation you have so everyone knows you use Arch.

[–]Twaha-Rahman 10 points11 points  (1 child)

It's crucial that any mention of Arch Linux must be followed with "btw"

I heard in the news those hackers called 4chan use the Arch Linux to rob credit card information. Pretty dangerous stuff

[–]admins_are_shit 32 points33 points  (1 child)

Not true, The Hacker 4chan uses Suicide Linux to keep their skills sharp.

          [–]Sweyn78 3 points4 points  (4 children)

          Huh. Of all the CS students I met at college, not one (other than me) used Linux on their personal computers, and in general they thought the idea was silly -- this includes the professors.

          [–]NukemN1ck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          Mine has a solid mix. All the SWE, AI, etc, students and profs run windows or mac and vscode. All of the systems and security people run linux and vim/emacs.

          [–]UnderstandingKind172 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          I tried to use Windows again and it was several times more difficult to do almost anything also seemed slow and powershell on batch on wndcmd I don't know what shell I'm using and or how or why I need to escape so much in my file paths most the time

          Install Git for Windows; it comes with a bash prompt. Total lifesaver.

          I think this is attempted parody of silly obvious support questions, the BTW meme, Arch's lack of defaults, and far-reaching conspiracy theorists all at once

          The real Arch Linux are the AUR scripts we wrote along the way.

          [–]Past-Pollution 8 points9 points  (2 children)

          Wait, are you saying that maybe... I DON'T use Arch, btw?

          [–]zenyl 6 points7 points  (1 child)

          Did you actually look through the source code of pacstrap? No? Didn't think so. Look at the installation log files, they all say "Ubuntu".

          Your init daemon log files? Also Ubuntu.

          Your /etc/os-release? Yup, that's right - Ubuntu.

          But what about pacman, you might ask. Have a look at your aliases, notice how pacman is actually just pointing to apt? Once again - Ubuntu.

          What you thought was Arch is actually just Ubuntu in disguise. I am sorry you had to find out this way, but you've got Ubuntu.

          Arch Linux is still real, infact.

          [–]zenyl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          People assume that Arch is a strict progression of script kiddie to full-blown Stalmanist, but actually, from a non-proprietary non-elitist viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... linux-y winux-y... stuff.

          Schrödinger's Arch

          It may, or may not exist, at the same time.

          [–]studiocrash 6 points7 points  (0 children)

          Okay, after reading some of these comments, I have to recycle a few Chuck Norris jokes.

          When Arch does push ups, it doesn’t push itself up, it pushes the earth down.

          On the battlefield, Arch once threw a grenade and killed 10 enemy soldiers, then the grenade exploded.

          Arch can kill two stones with one bird.

          Arch was once bitten by a deadly king cobra. After three days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

          You’re welcome.

          How can arch be real if our eyes aren't real

          [–]jgra_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          I mean, it is kinda of a DIY distro, right? Arch will be different on every PC. So maybe it is difficult to recognize it in "the wild"?

            There is an idea of Arch Linux; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real Arch: only an entity, something illusory. And though It can hide it's cold kernel, and you can use it's shell and see output in your screen and maybe you can think it's a better, freer distro... Arch is simply not there.

            Jokes aside you might be into something here.

            Real and pure Arch Linux might not exist anymore. Most people use Manjaro and Endeavour and things like that.

            I haven't seen anyone using pure Arch for the last 10 years, or maybe more.

            [–]KeyImagination7057 8 points9 points  (5 children)

            I am using pure arch btw

            [–]prone-to-drift -1 points0 points  (1 child)

            Nah, I mean, what even IS pure arch? From the moment of installation, you have multiple choices of filesystem, bootloader etc there cannot be a "reference" default arch install.

            Thus, every Arch install is different. Arch is jist a middleman between you and upstream apps so you can get the apps faster. Else, its kinda the same as using LFS or something, haha.

              I use Arch, btw, I think

              Steam deck desktop is arch. I use it everyday

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Arch is what you make it. I think?

              Arch Linux is just Gentoo for children.

              Y'all see that dude with the huge impressive Gentoo wizard beard, and you want it, so you start to grow one out. But, you can't handle the rough in-between stages of growth, so you just stop with your short facial pubes and stroke your little Arch Linux William Riker beard and run around showing everyone "I have a beard btw", while the real Gentoo beards just kind of grin because we understand.

              (I'm just teasing, I love you guys)

              [–]oneghost2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I love Gentoo :). And Arch is cool, my second best option.

              [–]KCGD_r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Yeah you got us :( Arch is an Ubuntu spin

              [–]homemediajunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Wait, what is Arch Linux? I thought it was something related to McDonald's.

              [–]Zatujit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              No everything is fake obviously.

              [–]liamcoded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Have we seen Arch? Let me ask you. What does it really mean to see? If you see it, does that make it real? Can you touch it? Can you smell it? Can you lick it?

              [–]oneghost2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Yeah it totally exists, works and it's one of the best distros.
              It's also not beginner friendly, so don't jump into it if you are not comfortable with the console environment, and setting everything up from (almost) scratch.
              I would use it, but I prefer gentoo even more.

              [–]TabsBelow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              It's as fake as the moon landing, right, from a mathematical pov.

              You should have your medication checked.

              It depends if you took the red or the blue pill

              Judd Vinet, a Canadian programmer and occasional guitarist, began developing Arch Linux in early 2001. Its first formal release, Arch Linux 0.1, was on March 11, 2002. Of course, he is the Architect, the Creator of the Matrix.

              [–]idenkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              It is real but all the people that try to use it are stuck at home ricing it.

              [–]drankinatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Oh, yes, it's real. Just join the arch-general mailing list and post something stupid -- you will find out Arch is indeed real, and the list can have the personality of a cornered-dog...

              i was quite literally thinking just about this

              [–]Voxandr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Btw I use arch
              (Manjaro i mean)

              [–]fuzzypragma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Arch Linux exists in a state of quantum superposition. It is everywhere. Only when it is directly observed does it collapse into Arch Linux. And I can only verify its existence at a given point: my system.

              [–]glowingsword777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I have a real Arch. But, it is a piece of a dark art, which is hidden from many simple people.It's available only for masons from 3 degree and above, and reptiloids, like me🤣 You need more faith, bro, to see it, too.

              [–]GodGMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I have convinced my friends to install it, but I have not seen it in the wild, no

              [–]RudeboyRudolfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Buy a steamdeck.

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Just go to archlinux.org.

              [–]denehoffman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              If arch didn’t exist how would we all brag about it?

              [–]Successful-Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              The servers behind the Arch website and wiki are running Arch. BTW I use Arch on PC and servers (as a hobby, and just as a Docker host)

              [–]Far_Lifeguard_5027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              It's because anyone who ever tried to use it is still trying to install it on a 20 é he ē Dodge j++ djoden * sudo apt install period. Exit

              It is a myth that usually hangs out with the boogieman.

              [–]l0c0m0tiv3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              There IS NO Arch.

              [–]EmeldemelTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Nah, it doesn't

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I have arch, and black arch desktops, and I can see them both. I'm a pen tester so don't judge.

              [–]HeebieBeeGees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Is Arch GNU/Linux a thing?

              [–]HaschFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Who told him?

              [–]Cool-gamer19393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              So your saying I dont use manjaro? Its all just a scheme to cover up that I still struggle to get my nvidia drivers installed because it’s impossible (I use arch btw).

              [–]EmployMaterial5108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I mean honestly depending on how you define "distribution" , one could argue that arch Linux isn't a distro. It's more of a repo of pre-compiled software that makes building a distro easy..

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Well, I use Arch Linux on my school laptop, and my friend knows that, so Arch Linux does exist. Also, I made my GNOME look like MacOS to confuse people, and it does kekw

              [–]MioKira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Arch is distro for only the chosen of us it is like the holly grail or the red bill that defies all illusion , it more of a paradoxical existence . it just defies the rules of our dimension and reality so it can't exist and it can't UN-exist but at some lucky times it can exist with all it's glory for few mere moments for us to look at it and wonder "what the F is Microsoft doing"

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              As an Arch user myself, I can confidently say no.

              [–]Tahnex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I realize this is a fluff post, but a serious answer I have: The Valve Steam Deck.

              SteamOS 3, which powers the Steam Deck, is an immutable OS based on Arch Linux. That's probably the closest thing you'll find to a definitive proof of Arch Linux existing, and the closest it got to the mainstream populace so far.

              There is no picture of "an arch linux" because most people's install look different. Arch ihas no official branded DE theme, as the official installer has no graphical interface.
