They’ve been the snowflakes all along.

I use Garuda, which is Arch based. Pretty much every time I’ve had a problem it’s been solved by update, restart.

If you want to try and build a raw Arch system from scratch, maybe it’s still complicated, I don’t know, but there are easy Arch options these days.

Super helpful info, thanks!

That makes total sense. I haven’t dipped my toes into AUR, so I’m not surprised I missed it.

I’ve only been on Linux about a year. I started with Bazzite and then switched to Garuda. Garuda is Arch based but has always been fast and easy, even with an Nvidia card.

Am I missing something? Arch seems fine.

Not enough plastic is coming out of your nozzle.

It really could be a lot of things… a clog, temperature to low, too much friction against the filament so it is hard to pull through, nozzle is bigger than your slicer settings say.

Try one thing at a time. Good luck!

They’re new, and they make decisions for you.

As a new user, I’ve never had trouble with them.

I’m so out of touch now. I used to watch a lot of Star Trek when everything was broadcast television. I just can’t bring myself to get a subscription just for Star Trek though.

I don’t know what all these doomsayers are doing. I installed Bazzite and it just worked. I decided I didn’t want an immutable system so I switched to Garuda, and it just worked. I have Nvidia and didn’t have to do anything extra.

😭😥😢 Here’s a few to choose from, I assume you can still copy and paste.

My first Linux was Bazzite. It was great but I didn’t like immutability so I switched to Garuda, which was also very easy.

As you are deciding, consider the differences between the main branches, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc., and their operating philosophy. Next look at the distro, specifically the helper apps and tools. Many distros now have “at startup” apps now that will help you with updates and installing common software. This help, or lack of it, will make a big difference to you as a beginner.

Garuda does will with Nvidia too.

I assume you mean raw? Because I’m a noob and I installed Garuda, which is Arch, and it’s been dead easy.

Everyone could use Arch! Let’s all flex together!

We create a world of kindness or selfishness, judgement or forgiveness every day. These behaviors may get you money or power, but the world you have to live in gets worse. I don’t think you realize how much you lose getting ahead, and how much you cost everyone else.

I don’t get it. I have Garuda, which is Arch, and it was super easy to install. Maybe raw dogging Arch is harder?

Garuda absolutely nails it with their helper app that sets you up with a choice of popular software, handles updates, and gives you easy access to common settings.

It makes it very approachable for people new to Linux.

“the corporation” is running it now. It’s not about people any more, it’s all procedural and goal oriented operations now.

Thank goodness we won’t have to worry about police brutality at this one!

I read this title as: If chat gpt is trying to kill you, you probably won’t be able to tell it to stop.

“Look buddy, we didn’t drown any slaves, we just threw them overboard all chained together in the open sea, after that what happens to them isn’t our problem”

Same energy.
