Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.
I use NixOS btw

Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.
To every arch meme action, there is an arch user overreaction.
It's what makes it fun.
Also, this whole meme misses out on the whole fun factor of getting everything setup exactly how you want and all the learning along the way. The Arch user is way more likely to fix any issues that come up in the future rather than just nuking the install and starting over Windows-style like this meme suggests.
Arch user rage bait and I guess I fell for it. I use arch btw.
If you actually want to use your machine, keeping the machine from nuking itself shouldn't be a hobby on its own. I need a reliable platform to work on, not a minefield on a fault line.
Don't know what you've been using but I sure wouldn't describe Arch as any of that. Once things are setup, I've extremely rarely run into issues that I didn't cause myself.

And here I just spent an afternoon trying to get hibernation working on fedora unsuccessfully
It's not so bad. You just have to sacrifice a goat to the waxing moon while capricorn is ascending.
Enuf with the Arch hate already..
Fedora and Debian are cool,
but Arch is too,
their Wiki is amazing and so is the AUR.
And no I don't use Arch btw,
I use Manjaro,
which has suited me fine for years now.
Sad that this is neither a haiku nor a poem. But I still agree.
Enough with the Arch hate, already!
Arch admins just want code sans spaghetti!
Debian, Fedora, guess they can be cool...
But us Arch users don't need no 'installer tool'
We all know the Arch wiki's amazin',
(but at the risk of some minor noob hazin')
If you can't get far with their great AUR
Then Mint might be more where you are
Now as much as it pains me to say
There's no Arch on my box, by the way
Manjaro's OS has been my fave for years
(To be honest Arch leaves many in tears)

I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly....
About the same. Been using my arch install with KDE for about 5 years with no major problems at all. I use systemd boot so I've not had the issue with grub as other people seem to have had.

With the amount of time and effort used to make this dumb meme I could have installed Arch a dozen times
Author: "I use Fedora BTW"
the gentoo user is still selecting kernel options they will never need while libre office compiles
I can only laugh at the comics they need to make to justify their distros. I use my Arch machine for work and it works far better than when I was using Debian. Also I am not putting up with an ancient kernel and Nvidia drivers. I even have to setup pipewire manually on debian and on Fedora it's codecs. Both ridiculous.
Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?
Plus if anything Debian is more stringent regarding proprietary packages than Arch. Arch package manager will let you install open source drivers or proprietary drivers equally. If adhering to "extreme" moral values is the joke about being labelled vegan, then debian is the vegan one.

I'll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!
Am I the only one that’s not had trouble with it? What’s the big issue?

I just had to imagine you facing the fedora installer's partitioning tool:
Installed with archinstall and got it up and running in less than 30 minutes. Assuming you have used linux before it really shouldn't take too long, i use arch btw
You have a problem with veganism?
I think it's a meme like arch users and vegans "how do you find them in a crowd? Don't worry they'll let you know"
In reality it's mostly the opposide tho. Like in any Social Media post about plant based food you get bunch of meat eaters who have to announce to everyone how much they enjoy eating meat.
they really love doing that. around when i went vegan someone i know was asking me about it and then stopped talking to me entirely because i "bring up veganism too much" after like 2 conversations that i did not initiate.
meanwhile you literally cannot escape meat eaters either talking about how much they love meat or condemning imaginary people who are trying to make them eat bugs or something and conflating that with veganism, yet vegans are annoying.

I've had more issues with most distros than arch.
Gentoo users: Signature look of superiority. (their face has frozen that way while waiting for packages to compile)
Meanwhile the OpenSUSE user is sitting contently in their bubble while everyone else is fighting.
the fucking fedora tip. this meme is so goddamn cringe. Also why attack vegans?
Personally I've had more issues tweaking Debian to just work as needed then Arch

I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time. However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro. i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.
I had more troubles with Debian than arch. I have some old nvidia stuff and some non-standard sound stuff.

nowadays archinstall will get you up and running nice and quick. I broke my setup the other day by misusing paru. I wish arch didn't have this reputation. other than me uninstalling my own display manager it's been perfectly stable through every update since I installed it years ago. the wiki has incredible amounts of digestible information that has helped me set up anything I want. it's true that it can be more difficult than other distros, and there are some elitists. but it's a good choice for people who like to tinker.
You look like you have some biases. btw.
Inaccurate. Everyone knows vegans prefer Debian.
I don't read the wiki because I can't read.
That arch laptop looks exactly like my laptop lmao
