#arch linux

[electronicjester]

The reason I took so long to switch to Linux is because my dad uses arch (btw) and does everything with the terminal at lightning speed and that put me off

But Mint is literally just windows if it did what it was supposed to do

Btw

I "sidegraded" to CachyOS from Arch after 8 months because of failed attempts of trying Fedora (GRUB black screen until boot via enter) and I wasn't having a mood reinstalling Arch through manual or archinstall.

My first impression: So far so good.

After spending my entire evening trying to install Artix, running into so many issues, both my own and things that made more experienced users go huh, giving up and installing pop!OS, having problems with THAT, giving up AGAIN and using archinstall, booting into my new install *only to realise Deepin was completely broken*, failing to either fix it or install another DE, redoing archinstall with Cinnamon...

I now have Arch on my main PC. All this because I wanted to use Unity (desktop environment) and saw there was an Arch repo (that and tbh I was kinda not vibing with fedora anymore)

Arch users: Why?

I just like Arch :)

I don't know........

It's an impotent attempt to impress people

Peer pressure (all my cool friends use Arch)

Someone installed it for me as a cruel joke and I don't know how to replace it

There's something indescribably sensual about Arch

The thrill of installing questionable packages from the AUR makes me feel alive

Being an Arch user is ridiculous so as a clown it's the natural choice

Actually I have "normal" reasons for choosing Arch

Because of the Arch-Sorcerer's curse

I don't use Arch

Going back to being a systemd chud. Fucking protonvpn was what made me go back. Guess systemd will do

Can’t wait to have an issue with Linux and go to my college tech help desk and have them be completely befuddled as to what they are looking at when they open it.

So somehow I have fucked up

I had mint cinnamon and windows 8 dual booted on an old laptop. I was just getting myself reacquainted with linux and customizing things when I tried to find windows and make sure that worked too. I had to turn off safe startup and got it to boot just fine

The problem though is now my GRUB is gone and I can't boot back into linux

I found a complicated fix for it that might work, if I can do it right, but it's gonna take hours and idk if it's even worth it

I could just rewrite it with mint again and erase windows entirely, I want to get rid of it anyway now that I know I don't need it on there, it is an SSD but I only done the dual boot and that's it so it shouldn't damage it too bad afaik?

I didn't have much done on there except some small customization so I won't loose much but I will have to redo the wifi fix. It's not too hard it took like 45 minutes the first time, but mint breaks my wifi card so I gotta get some alt drivers for a wifi adapter to get it to work.

It's a pain in the ass either way, I just gotta pick which way to do it.

Anyway here's what should I do any ideas

I was thinking about doing a different OS instead too if I'm gonna rewrite should I just do that? I only did mint cause I used to use it when I was a teenager.
