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.

Arch evangelist here

There are more minimalist distros out there, to me Arch feels like the middle ground between convenience and minimalism which is how I like it.

>didn't find basic minimal tools I use, like wtf, where's st?
Honestly I think it makes sense this isn't in the main repos, I wouldn't want a prebuilt binary of it. The whole idea with st is that you edit the header file and recompile.

>RED sign on their website "NEEDS SOME ASSEMBLY"
Fully agree with this though lol. It's a fun distro if you like to tinker.

more like MORE ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
still can't believe their core doesn't include ksh

>I didn't like that it wasn't as minimalistic as I wanted it to be
idk systemd isnt that bad
i used to use it and switching to runit didnt make that big a difference in the footprint
>didn't find basic minimal tools I use
if they are truly 'basic minimal tools' you can just compile them yourself, baka
>where's st
case in point
>If you want something "working out of the box" you have to install
windows, yea
some of us prefer to have FUN instead
>you have to install bunch of shit you will never use
contrary to every other system where the shit you will never use comes pre-installed
yea arch sucks so much ToT
>those memes you see on the web are made by baseless shills who want you to suffer a bit
<anon got memed and now wants to complain
ah so its one of those threads
>they need put a RED sign on their website "NEEDS SOME ASSEMBLY".
or maybe you need to take 2 minutes to read the actual website instead of going by hearsay and making 10000 assoomptions about what youre getting into

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)

 No.15

>>11
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.
