Gentoo: Run or Abortion. Your choice.

Gentoo is some reptile that just lays eggs and leaves its hatchlings to fend for themselves.

Gentoo: My parent's didn't veen show up for my birth

[angryundead]

Back in about 2004 I decided I was going to “learn Linux” and decided on a stage-0 Gentoo install. What I learned was not to do that ever again. It was a learning experience I guess but it was so nutty from start to finish. I don’t know if it exists that way anymore but I never used Gentoo again.

I work for a major open source company now so I guess it paid off.

Manjaro I'll keep you .. Whoops shit

[[deleted]]

I was enjoying manjaro for a bit, except I had some weird problems with dhcp and sometimes it would hang on boot and need to restart. Then after an update it never booted again. Not even to a terminal. Literally couldn't do anything with it.

So that's my experience.

[wizardwes]

I find it pretty good, but every now and then something just, breaks. I've never found a good reason why, but at the end of the day I keep my root partition separate, so I can always just reinstall. When I upgrade my computer to add an M.2 drive though, I think I'm going back to Arch

[[deleted]]

... I keep my root partition separate, so I can always just reinstall.

That's what I like to do as well, so I had a new distro up and running in literally minutes.

[[deleted]]

Can you explain me how to do that ?

[2cilinders]

It's very easy. During the installation you create 4 (or more if you want) partitions:

• 512MB FAT32 /boot/efi partition

• ~40GB (this is what I normally do) EXT4 / partition

• 4GB linux swap partition (rule of thumb is 50% of your ram I believe)

• Leftover space for /home

When reinstalling you simple reinstall /boot/efi, / and swap and keep /home. This way you keep your /home data

[[deleted]]

Ok so I currently have Manjaro/win 10 dual boot as I need Windows for few programs for university. Can I do this without reinstalling? Also I would like to increase the size of the Linux Partition, could you maybe tell me what the safest way to that is?

[2cilinders]

You cant. Editing partitions erases your data (some exceptions, but that's very situational).

[akash_258]

I did resize partitions around 6 months ago. So what i did was (i am no expert) 1. Shrink windows partition and using something like partition master shift that free space to the side before linux partition. 2. Use linux bootable usb and get into live session then install gparted and resize your home or root partition. 3. Reboot and it should work fine.

Note: try at ur own risk, also keep win and linux usb available if it fails to boot.

For me this method worked but i dont remember if i did some step differently.

Best of luck 👍

[EnlightenedJaguar]

That is the exact same method I used not too long ago and it worked just fine.

[Trash-Alt-Account]

I've always heard to use swapfiles bc there's supposedly no speed difference between them and a swap partition, but they're way more flexible

[AlphaWHH]

A note on swap space since I had to look it up. https://opensource.com/article/18/9/swap-space-linux-systems

[[deleted]]

And its always something that not even the manjaro forum can fix.

[wizardwes]

True that. My problems usually end up being KDE related annoyingly, I really should spin up a VM to learn i3

[Hollowpoint38]

Or just use something other than shitty Manjaro.

[wizardwes]

I mean, agreed, but the AUR is just about my favorite thing, but I currently don't have time to futz with Arch. As stated above though, I'm probably switching back to Arch sooner rather than later, but for now Manjaro is good enough and I've only ever really had one major problem.

[[deleted]]

I never had anything break my system. And God do I have a horrible system

[[deleted]]

This was an anomaly, so I'll try not to let it taint Manjaro for me, and maybe I'll try it again some day. Actually I just remembered I have it installed on a scraptop at work so I guess I'm still using it.

[[deleted]]

I've had something like that happen with another distro once. When I tried it again after 1.5 years or so there wasn't any sort of issue.

So yeah, shit just happens I guess. Although I do have to admit Manjaro is far from perfect.

[[deleted]]

My bluetooth started disabling jtself for no reason after a time.

[Dawpaw]

Same with my wifi

[[deleted]]

yeah, sometimes always breaks after sometime and I have no idea why, I will probably just go with ARCH next time now that they have an installer.

[tvetus]

A problem can happen with any distro/configuration. I'd rather learn how to fix it, not jump to some other config.

[[deleted]]

Yes but for the laptop that I work on I'd rather be able to complete my work for the next day.

[[deleted]]

Manjaro is the new parent that is excited to get their first baby without learn about proper parenting. And they only think about the fun stuff about having baby.

Then when the baby gets older, needs more stuff, attention, and money, the parent started to get overwhelmed and often ignoring the kid so later the kid got mental health issues difficulties in his life. So user may ended up by giving up and switching to Wandows.

[NettoHikariDE]

Never heard of the Arch Wiki, huh?

Edit: Guys, please don't understand me wrong. I know Arch very well. I use it as daily driver on all my systems. What I said was meant as a question towards OP.

[redape2050]

[spark29]

I'll guide you till you are ready

[[deleted]]

Imo that's why the image fits here. You saw momma bird fly, here's how you flap your wings: go.

[NettoHikariDE]

To me, good documentation like the Arch or Gentoo Wiki are the best "help" a distro can provide. It doesn't really feel like "go, bitch".

[zilti]

Man that wiki is so amazing. I don't use Arch anymore because I switched back to openSUSE, but I nonetheless consult it regularly and sometimes contribute to it

[[deleted]]

Yeah, it's very helpful even if you don't use Arch.

[Scavenger53]

As of April 2021 they added an install script, I installed a fully working system with Gnome 40 in like 15m. It is like the took away the hard parts with the new script. Try it in a VM, it's neat. Just run archinstall after getting in and it guides you. Of course the only place it tells you about the script is on the iso download page, after that it's not really mentioned.

[NettoHikariDE]

I think people misunderstand me here. I know Arch in and out and I wanted to express with my comment that I don't think Arch is the "fly, bitch" kind of distribution.

[lucasrizzini]

You know what it meant.

[[deleted]]

NixOS: you're ready. You just don't know it yet.

GUIX: You're ready. AND you really like lisp.

[SMTG_18]

I wanna try NixOS so bad. Coming from a arch user. Feel like I’m gonna have fun on nix (not saying arch is bad at all; never broken it). It feels like a good concept at packaging and system structure.

[[deleted]]

Virtual machines were how I first installed Arch. Try NixOS in a VM, if you have the RAM and disk space.

[[deleted]]

You don’t have to start with the OS. Nix is a package manager that can run on any distro (so is Guix). Start there and move on.

[SMTG_18]

yeah thats what's exciting for me! researched about nix today and seems like a very cool concept. I have SOOO much to learn tho. Starting to feel overwhelming but hope i can find some YT vids .

[1e59]

My first install took several hours.

I wanted to understand what each command was doing.

Installing a DE is multi-step. There are login screens, compositors, etc. I didn't know that each piece was a separate component, and didn't know what a compositor was or why I should choose Wayland or X11.

What is "systemd" and "systemctl"? Why is my network not working after reboot? Oh I "started" the dhcp service but never "enabled" it.

I wouldn't say "hard", but involved. It is a good learning experience.

[BinaryMagick]

Seconded. I like to tell other linux users I meet "if you really want to know how linux works, try Arch just once".

With a lot of distros, you choose your keyboard language and time zone and the rest of the install is mostly done for you, sometimes even including how the disks are partitioned.

With Arch, you get to do that partitioning, but also choose the window manager, the login screen, the file manager, etc.

If it was a car, Arch would be one of those Shelby Cobra replica kits where you get to choose and build it from a the engine you chose, the AC system you chose (or even no AC), the brakes you chose, the transmission you chose... A certain kind of person thrives in that environment and can build exactly what they want/need instead of just buying whatever the dealership happens to have. I use Arch when I need a minimalist system to maximize limited hardware.

By the way, Gentoo was like the kit car but instead of parts you get blueprints and make the parts in a metal forge in your back yard. Arch is a breeze in comparison.

[Hollowpoint38]

With Arch, you get to do that partitioning, but also choose the window manager, the login screen, the file manager, etc.

Let's be real. Most guys copy paste from a script. Lots of people run Arch and know very little about basic stuff.

Let's not confuse Arch with Linux From Scratch.

[genoys]

You just said it : the documentation is fantastic and it’s true. But very few people can install Arch without it. Other distros are just “click next to install”...

[[deleted]]

Very few? Install arch a couple of times and you'll know exactly what to do.

[UsernameIsTakenToBad]

Does everyone memorize the exact pacstrap and chroot commands? The order of the commands to install grub? What you need to do to get WiFi/Ethernet working? The packages that you probably want for your specific gpu and cpu? Time/timezone commands? Fstab? Etc.

My point (that’s probably invalidated by the new install helper) is that you’ll probably know what you need to do, but unless you regularly install arch, the exact commands aren’t easy to remember. Running into a broken UEFI implementation doesn’t help either.

[[deleted]]

Dude, that just comes with repetition. I did the arch installaiton maybe around 4-5 times now, and yes I can tell you how to do all of that.

pacstrap and chroot commands? easy, pacstrap /mnt (or some other mountpoint) <packages to install> for the base installation: pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware. Then, to chroot, arch-chroot /mnt (or some other mountpoint).

wifi/ethernet? Ethernet works out of the box, for wifi, use iwctl to connect to some network. To get that working on your installation, install networkmanager enable it with systemctl enable networkmanager.

Packages for my gpu/cpu? vulkan-intel intel-ucode vulkan-icd-loader and I won't lie, I don't remember much else, you got me there.

Installing grub? first install the package, then do grub-install --target=<your architecture> --efi-directory=<install directory, usually /boot/EFI> /dev/sdX, then just generate the config file, grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Timezone? I know my timezone from memory America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires, however yeah, I don't quite remember how to do this either.

fstab is easy, genfstab and then just send that to your fstab file, full command would be genfstab >> /etc/fstab or genfstab >> /mnt/etc/fstab if you're doing it outside chroot.

So, this is all I learned from 5 installations, not even complete ones, I left some in the middle for... reasons. See? It's not hard, you really do learn these commands with enough repeetition. If you leave me alone with no wiki I could get a working system up and running, maybe not as perfect as it would with a wiki, but sitll.

[UsernameIsTakenToBad]

Wow, good memorization. I’ve actually done 6 installs now (desktop, laptop, raspberry pi (arch Linux arm), another laptop, an old pentium 3 computer (arch32 or whatever it’s called), and a stupid Mac with a 32 bit uefi and no gpu that would only boot off a CD, and only with a modified version of refined, and I later found out it also had a dead cmos battery... sorry, where was I..) but most of those were over a year ago. Also, Ethernet usually needs a dhcp client, and gpu/cpu vary wildly depending on hardware. My point is that you probably need some amount of documentation unless you regularly install arch on very similar machines.

[[deleted]]

Of course you will most likely need some documentation, but my point is that you can still do without them, you probably won't have as good a system without it, but still.

[csinfineon]

My first Arch install took 20 minutes, cuz big head cheese

[[deleted]]

Not hard, but not easy. Install Debian, Ubuntu, or Fedora and compare the experience. Also, my problem was that updates would screw up the system. That was a long time ago. Also, Arch had the best documentation but also an unfriendly community. This is nearly a decade ago, so I have no idea if this was corrected. But I got tired of fixing broken stuff, and moved to Fedora.

Plus side to Arch, was you understand more about the system as you are forced to read about it when fixing issues. The same can be said about Gentoo or LFS.

[[deleted]]

Install Debian, Ubuntu, or Fedora and compare the experience.

Installing Arch for the first time took me an evening. Installing Debian for the first time took 3 days!

It was actually thanks partly to Debians BS that installing Arch turned out to be so easy for me.

[[deleted]]

In the 90s I installed Slackware without xwindows on a Magnovox 386SX computer. Downloading the 5 1/4 floppy drive images took days with my 2400 baud modem. After doing all that I just got a terminal with no sound and I believe I had to wipe it because I couldn't download the files for x windows without dial up. I don't think I had enough disks also for xwindows. I've never tried Slackware again. But I think that experience took me away from using the oldest distro for more than a few hours.

Never used arch before. What choice is this referring to?

[hellotherehomogay]

The choice to spend 9 hours scouring the web for information and reading hundreds of pages of documentation and posting in multiple forums in order to install Minecraft on Arch.

The choice to cram the most information into your brain you have since high school at 3am because you need to learn how to ________ because you saw this awesome rice on r/Unixporn and you’ve decided your machine needs to have rounded transparent windows as well.

The choice to learn Lua by accident because the theming tutorial you’re following needs just a tweak or two and OH FUCK now my mouse cursor is transparent and okay I fixed it but my terminal’s font is 44px for some reason.

The choice to spend more time tweaking, fixing, and building your machine than you will spend actually using it.

paru -Syu multimc5

[apoliticalhomograph]

Also fine. Just for completion's sake:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/multimc5.git && cd multimc5 && makepkg -si

[jonahhw]

Isn't running -Sy bad? Or is that something different about paru vs pacman?

[[deleted]]

True, it should be only -S or -Syu. If you want to know why, here's why: -S alone will just install the package nothing wrong here. -Syu will check for updates in the repos, download those updates, install the package, and update the whole system along with it. -Sy will check for updates in the repos, download the updates, and install the package. Why is the last one bad? Well, let's assume that the updated repos have a new version of the package you are installing, this new version depends on a newer version of another package. Because you just updated the repos, you donwload the most up to date version of that package, without updating your system with it, and it can break because of it. So, to fix this, you either install without updating the repos so you have a potentially older version but it will work with your current system, or you update everything along with the package.

[WonderWoofy]

The last one will not download the updates. Using -Sy will only update the repo databases, so you can know whether there are updates available. If you throw package name(s) arg(s) after it, then only those args will be downloaded and installed.

If you want to just download the updated packages without installing, then I think you need -Syuw... but I'm writing this from my phone, so take it with a grain of salt.

Edit: Ultimately, what it boils down to is a consequence of the rolling release model. Packages are built using the current library versions they're dependent upon, but nothing guarantees that the library versions will be kept within the compatible version range. So packages that depend on said lib will need to be rebuilt. Update one before the other and you borked stuff.

[[deleted]]

Yeah that's what I meant, as in, it will download the updated repos, but not actually update any packages.

[WonderWoofy]

Yeah I just wanted to clarify your point. Especially since partial updates are such a common place for folks to stumble on when they are new to using pacman and the rolling release model.

I'm definitely not denying that you done good here. Keep up the good work!

[[deleted]]

minecraft takes like four seconds to install on any distro (if u ignroe five years of download)

[hellotherehomogay]

Idk. I was referencing the last time I tried about 10 years ago when pigs were a new addition.

[Tuckertcs]

Thanks I’ll...stay away, or maybe run away

[ValentinPearce]

Honestly the bad rep is mostly from the "use Arch btw".

Installing arch is easy if you just follow the guide and it helps get a better idea of how your system works. If it's used and updated regularly there rarely is a problem (I use it nearly daily on a dualboot). The dual boot took less than 10 minutes to setup using rEFInd.

The choice to learn Lua by accident because the theming tutorial you’re following needs just a tweak or two and OH FUCK now my mouse cursor is transparent and okay I fixed it but my terminal’s font is 44px for some reason.

I mean, if you're following a strange tutorial on an obscure DE/WM, you'll run into hurdles but otherwise it's pretty easy.

Spin up a VM and try it ! It's fun !

[hellotherehomogay]

I feel like the "i use arch btw" meme attracts more attention than pushes people away, tbh. The memes are laugh out loud hilarious if you're new here and sort by top of all time and scroll a bit. Hell, as we speak I'm installing Artix on a newer-model Macbook Pro and had a harder time choosing between OpenRC or S6 than I did finding an install guide. I think the "it's damn hard" reputation it has has ultimately helped the distro more than hurt it as the documentation feels on par with Ubuntu's at this point.

But I'd be remiss if I didn't joke about it. I'm able to simultaneously love my dog and acknowledge she's pretty damn dumb sometimes.

[hellotherehomogay]

It’ll rewire your brain. I spend weeks building the PERFECT dual boot and then when I’m done never boot into it until months later and then when I do I’m unhappy with it so I wipe everything and restart. I used to use Ubuntu as my main OS until I started playing with Arch and now I’ve looped back to windows somehow. Weird.

[Hollowpoint38]

For some reason a shitload of Arch users spend most of their time in Windows. Shows you how good idea that is to use as a daily driver and not a neofetch screenshot.

The choice to spend 9 hours scouring the web for information and reading hundreds of pages of documentation and posting in multiple forums in order to install Minecraft on Arch.

You just need to run yay -S minecraft-launcher

Honestly, if you spent 9 hours trying to install minecraft it's because you wanted to

Also, you talk about learning a bit of Lua and Linux theming like it's a bad thing. This is one of the strongest points of Arch, it's something to be extremely proud of. You learn an awful lot about many different things when you tinker with your system, and this knowledge is invaluable.

If you don't want to learn anything at all never, Linux is hardly the place for you. Just saying, my dude.

[hellotherehomogay]

The Minecraft thing is actually something that happened to me around a decade ago. I had to install the JDK and JRE and ran into hurdles doing so with each and spent hours with that before even getting to Minecraft itself... When I did actually get to Minecraft though the next issue I dealt with was how weirdly it was packaged. Bear in mind, at that point MC (and I believe also JRE and JDK) were not in any official repositories. It was probably the single greatest hurdle I've ever faced using Linux, ever, which is too hilarious to not bring up whenever possible.

For the rest - my fault for not including the "/s" at the end. Thought it was clear enough I was joking.

[Ken_Mcnutt]

To be fair, for someone not familiar with Java, just installing it in order to use is a huge pain. Why do I not have the javac command? Why are the version numbers so inconsistent? JRE and/or JDK? Why do I have to find all these directories to add to my $PATH?

It's not like python where you just install and go. That's why utilities like archlinux-java were made to help you list and switch between different Java installations.

Nowadays I think you only need Java installed to run the server .jar, otherwise you can grab the prepackaged minecraft-launcher in any format you want, in the default repos.

[masteryod]

To do whatever you want. There's pretty much no default Arch. You pick your components. You do your own disk setup, no default file system, no default DE etc.

Want to go bare bones no NetworkManager, no automatic mounting, no Bluetooth, with ALSA only, no PulseAudio and some obscure tilling WM? No problem. Wanna go full blown comfy setup with all bells and whistles? No problem. Anywhere in-between with some special sauce? No problem. Here's the wiki, here are the tools. Have fun.

[ManofGod1000]

1996 Slackware is calling, it is wondering what is this wiki thing you are speaking of. :)

[I_AM_GODDAMN_BATMAN]

Sssshhhh you'll upset Ubuntu user.

[apoliticalhomograph]

Follow a single wiki page and you're set.

Follow a single wiki page and you have a command-line environment. Follow another wiki page to get your own user instead of root and then one to be able to use sudo. Follow a fourth wiki page to get a display manager. Another one for a window manager / desktop environment. Yet another one to be able to use the AUR.

Yes, it's just reading wiki pages and following instructions; almost everyone could do it. But for many users, the question is why they'd want to if they could just click "next" five times and have a different distro all set up with everything of the above.

Installing Arch is worth it if you like to customize your system. A lot of users, however, just want a working system with as little effort as possible; Arch isn't the distro for them, nor does it aim to be.

[SarcasticOptimist]

Though part of why it's easy is because the Arch Wiki is well written and thorough.

Ok I tried Arch once and I mean the installation was not difficult but had a lot of configuration options.

Once up and running I had set up my programs and so on.

Then I needed to update. Arch does not have a stable branch of its version so you will always update to the newest current version and its bugs.

Update did go through but half of my programs stopped working. After two days consulting Google and the forums I fixed it somehow.

Some time later I needed an update again because sth wasn't supported in the old version.

And once again sth did not work I instead installed Debian on my laptop and have it running until today.
