arch sucks. I didn't like that it wasn't as minimalistic as I wanted it to be, didn't find basic minimal tools I use, like wtf, where's st? If you want something "working out of the box" you have to install bunch of shit you will never use, and along the way you trust so much people in the process... BOO-HOO-HOOO.
Short verdict is that those memes you see on the web are made by baseless shills who want you to suffer a bit. Even fed distros don't shill their pet projects so much as do archfags. Let's be real, they need put a RED sign on their website "NEEDS SOME ASSEMBLY". You're not a jewtube distro reviewer, right.

burn in hell. BURN IN HELL
>or maybe
maybe arch/distros should post what they ship by default and what they actually lack in their core/universe, because what they shill is that we got EVERYTHING RAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGH
they just don't and you have to compile and a lot, so there's less incentive to fuck with A SUPEREME BISTRO they call themselves. i actually installed artix.

you are seething so much that its getting in the way of intelligibility
try again but without being so mad and bald?

(Take it easy, it's only a Linux distro)

It's only an operating system, you sound like someone just insulted your mother

>maybe arch/distros should post what they ship by default

There is a package list available online
https://archlinux.org/packages/

>what they shill

>they
The only thing Arch itself claims to is a minimal base install, flexibility and rolling release packages. When you say 'they' it makes me think you're speaking of 'tubers which aren't an authoritative source, you should do your own research. I don't think any distro has literally everything.

>they just don't and you have to compile and a lot

I only have a handful of programs I've had to compile myself, but I guess it depends on your use case.

Omarchy solves this.

is this true rainon?
https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2024-11-15-why-i-stopped-using-openbsd.html
is obsd just blows up in your face with hellfire and deletes your data? i used obsd for 5 picoseconds and it was rock solid, as a server though, and 0,23 picoseconds as desktop.
All i know is that it lacks fast filesystems (joke), which i asked around and NOBOD.Y. responded, but if it brokes itself, then nugh-ugh, not gonna make it.... XDDDD

For a while I have been intending to upgrade or get a new PC. It is quite a lot of things to handle and get comfortable with but my main issue is honestly how to even budget in 2025 and to acquire components that arent high end (whilst ignoring the techbros that insist and only list the high end when doing research)

So how does anyone else acquire their components?
factory sealed or used?
old or new?
Do you look into the next 5 years?
Do you buy power that you just don't need?

The last thing I bought is the laptop I'm using right now. I got it refurbished and it's working perfectly. I think, unless you are really into gaming, any computer nowadays is good enough pretty much for everything

I think there's only a need to buy high-end hardware if you have high-end purposes. Middle of the range is perfectly sufficient for most people.
It used to be the case your hardware would be obsolete within a few years, these days it seems to improve far more slowly. RIP Murphy's Law. I guess that's to do with the minimum size of circuitry, quantum mechanics stuff.
If I can take care of it, I'm sure my navi will be good for a long time.

>old or new?

Always second-hand personally, as long as there's nothing visibly wrong with it. Paying the new hardware premium doesn't make much difference, usually.

Yeah pretty much, a few years ago I was very comfortable on a Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of DDR2 RAM. What I have now feels like more than I need.

 No.4

yea like nixx said, there isnt much point in getting powerful components if all youre gonna do is shitpost online
it only makes sense to 'buy power that you just don't need' if you expect to do more and more intense tasks over time, like if you are a w*ndows user since m*cros*ft doubles the system requirements every year
but if you were gonna use your computer to do real computer stuff, youd know it
like image/video editing and gaming
so unless you have special needs, id say just but sth 2nd hand tbh
thats how i got the last computer that i actually paid for

 No.5

didnt find any info on pluto on amd chips so that's kinda where you should limit yourself?
in any case it is joeover with unknown number of hidden chips inside your ryzen
https://www.devever.net/~hl/backstage-cast
as for gpu they have their own fucking bios in them
ddr5 still vulnerable to rowhammer variants
and where are PS/2 ports?
