After wrestling with Arch Linux for a few hours this evening I've remembered why people don't like systemd, lol

Will give it another go tomorrow.

Good in theory, poor in practice.

After looking into it a bit more it's not specifically systemd I have an issue with but that Arch does things that really are at odds with how my brain works, haha.

Back to debian.

never got on with Arch particularly well myself, Debian works so much better for me.

Debian here too. I think we all had our "let's try arch" phase

@maxine I’m that one trans *nix hacker who’s never tried Arch and is mildly intimidated by it

@vulpine @maxine Personally, I've just never seen the need to try it. Debian does what I want, so short of having some time where playing with new disteos is a higher priority than other things (which hasn't happened in a while), I'm happy with my lot.

@Darkhorse WinterWolf 🇪🇺 @Dorky moo girl @Vulpine @Renamon ΘΔ 🏳️‍⚧️ Oh, with all the talk of distros here I thought it was just me. I haven't felt the need to try a distribution other than Debian since about 2001 when I got briefly RHCX certified for work. Ick.

Mint here, which I guess is fancy Ubuntu, which in turn is fancy Debian. I've looked at Arch a couple of times and every time I do, it makes me retreat back to Mint.
Though I'll admit to borrowing some packages from AUR on occasion.
