It's very hard to convince people to switch to privacy foucused platforms nowadays.

If that's the case, then i would be more happier to get their usernames atleast. But the situation is way worse than that. They are deeply into whatsapp.

Discord not even letting me to creare an account. The OTP never get generated. And i believe that's for good.

Many open-source developers also effectively using discord as a communication medium.

In the first boot notification sounds, mouse scrolling speed, screen resolution, etc. was not working at all. i thought opensuse was broken.

But, then realized that, i accidently logged into x11 on KDE instead wayland.

Everything works very well so far.

Arch is mainly for people who prefer instant updates on every software. Like developers, some hardcore gamers want to tweak their system too deep and have too much time to fix if it breaks.

Snapshots are a big relief, as they allow you to directly boot into the previous working version. But if the bootloader itself failed, you might need a live USB to fix it.

Arch is not bad or unfriendly at all. It allows users to deeply customize their system how they want it, and that's what causes an unstable system at the end. Also, the use of too many AUR softwares at the system level is another reason. It is not official. So by using AUR heavily, we can't guarantee it will work with other system software.

If you use Arch with snapshots and only install a minimal amount of AUR system-level software, then it's completely fine for daily use.

Other serious struggles.

• Very new releases bring a lot of bugs. Recently I saw my screen was flashing when I opened settings. Also, crashes can occur constantly. You have to report it to get an immediate fix from developers.

• Snapshots can take a fair amount of your storage. But you can control it in Snap.

• AUR packages are not tested for their authenticity or security at all.

• A breakage or failure to boot can terrify newbies. Unlike Fedora or Debian, there are no built-in recovery tools out of the box. Everything is the user's responsibility.

Arch is all about user freedom. All those crashes and failures are not too hard to fix, but you have to spend much time on them. If you have pre-cations like a live USB and snapshots, then there is nothing to worry about at all.

Unlike Windows, Linux demands users know it more and read long wiki pages, which is good in a sense.

Many people in the Linux community want their system built from scratch. So Arch stands in between, distributions like VoidLinux and Gentoo.

That's why I completely eliminated Windows from my life and switched to Linux.

The upvotes mean some other people too don't like Fedora like me. Nothing more than that.

A distro can be perfect for some and, at the same time, hated by some others. That's normal.

Why it's not for me. Reasons:

Maintained by a corporation. Probably it's their testing ground.

Too much bloatware is preinstalled.

Too many updates, just like Arch. But arch feels more cleaner and faster anyway.

Require rpm fusion.

Crashes often.

There is always a connectivity issue on RPM Fusion servers.

Heavily depended upon flatpak.

Many applications don't have native Fedora packages or repos.

When I type "yes" for view pkgbuild, it always shows failed to retrieve message. Then without asking for a retry, it asks to continue with installation!

Hm... btw, I hate fedora.

I don't mean it happened right now. I mean it often happens. Probably when i tweak too much or more installs from AUR.

archdebian? arch+debian dual boot?
