Just dropping a formatted link: !endeavouros@lemmy.zip And I'll see ya'll there. :)
EDIT: Also, would it be possible to get a bot to post the official EndeavourOS news? I mean, we all already read the RSS, but just in case someone doesn't. ;)
bigmclargehuge 4 points 2 months ago
Thatβs a great idea. Iβm new here so not 100% on how to spin up a bot; but will look into it
bigmclargehuge 4 points 2 months ago
Done! New updates from Endeavour are now bot posted

I don't use Arch, BTW.

Where did this stereotype actually come from? I'm genuinely curious. Because Windows users wouldn't know Arch from Ubuntu and to them, all Linux users are "I use Linux btw" types. And I don't think I've seen Arch users just randomly telling people they use Arch in Linux spaces. But it must've come from somewhere.
ratel 16 points 2 months ago
IDK if it's a thing elsewhere but it's been a running joke on Reddit and Lemmy for years mostly because Arch was the more popular, bare bones distro, i.e. you had to set it up yourself without a guided installer like Mint or Ubuntu, so was used as a signal to be like "I know what I'm talking about".
Secret_Music 2 points 2 months ago
Ah that definitely makes sense. I think by the time I was experimenting with distros, things had probably moved on a bit. I can say from experience that using Arch just requires the ability to read, really. But it was probably more hardcore in its earlier days when the wiki wasn't as well formed yet.
luciferofastora 2 points 2 months ago
Yeah, much of the documentation on the arch wiki was written by enthusiasts who did the legwork and drew maps along the way so we now know where to go.
mogoh 5 points 2 months ago
I know this one: It came from the Arch users. No, really, they couldn't just help to not tell anyone. It's not just a stereotype, it was really that common.
Now why they couldn't help, is guessing, but I guess it is the first distribution, that people take pride in to install, after they tried Ubuntu.

Arch was the "elite" distro. Most people who weren't already very comfortable with the terminal were even able to use arch properly. Stuff like archinstall didn't exist back then and those that did were way inferior than what we have today. So using arch was like a "badge of honor" of sorts for many people who thought using it made them superior to disgusting ubuntu or mint users with their GUI installer.
It's just classic gatekeeping that you'll see in basically everything that comes with a passionate community.
Axolotl_cpp 2 points 2 months ago
I heard someone explain that it wasn't really that popular some time ago, so they would just say "I use arch btw" to get people to know the distro and apparently it worked
Or it's just bullshit and i'il never know

I use Gentoo. I very much warn you against using Gentoo.
TwilightKiddy 5 points 2 months ago
Both NixOS and Gentoo are also addictive as hell, you poke just a couple of things β the next thing you know it's 3 AM two weeks later and you are recompiling your whole system trying to make it work with Wild linker or something along those lines, laughing maniacally.

I already knew Linux. What it made me learn is systemd. And I'll say it without shame, I like systemd. I know it doesn't follow the Unix philosophy but it's just semantics.
wreckedcarzz 3 points 2 months ago
I use the red swirl too btw

I prefer the original CachyOS, Manjaro (might change, if stuff gets really bad on my own end).
northertech 3 points 2 months ago
Just made it through a technical interview without managing to say that I use Arch, btw. It is harder than you think.

Does this get posted every day now?

Winning the game is accomplished by playing all your cards and being the first to run out of cards. You play a card by putting one down that matches the last card played by either color or number. There's other special cards too, like draw x cards, reverse direction, wild cards, etc.

You have to get rid of the cards
