So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
I'm a little bit underwhelmed, I thought that based off the fact so many people seem to make using this distro their personality I expected... well, more I guess?
Once the basic stuff is set-up, like wifi, a few basic packages, a desktop environment/window manager, and a bit of desktop environment and terminal customisation, then that's it. Nothing special, just a Linux distribution with less default programs and occasionally having to look up how to install a hardware driver or something if you need to use bluetooth for the first time or something like that.
Am I missing something? How can I make using Arch Linux my personality when once it's set up it's just like any other computer?
What exactly is it that people obsess over? The desktop environment and terminal customisation? Setting up NetworkManager with nmcli? Using Vim to edit a .conf file?

Please refrain from using racist terms. Here's a good thread about it.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Of course! Thanks for being cool. It always sucks to learn a term you've been using has a shitty meaning you didn't intend, and some people react to that realization quite poorly as we can see below lol
Ricing comes from car customization. It's only racist if you make it racist.
It's like saying "bad driver", it's racist if you say "all Asians are bad drivers" or mysoginist if you say "all women are bad drivers" but "bad driver" by itself is none of that.
It comes from racist car customization slang, yes.
Please refrain from not shutting the fuck up. Here's a good example of what everyone should do when being told to be upset about something because you say so.
Please enjoy your ban whenever a mod sees this.
Oh no, a minor inconvenience.
Always baffles me that people like this exist. Are you this abrasive to people in real life too?
they would probably be very quiet about it irl and post paragraphs about it later that day
It's nice that you think I've got enough self control to wait for layer in the day.
The moment the confrontation ends I'll be writing my totally unbiased account of events on r/AITA so I can get immediate vindication.
Well, I wouldn't be as snarky about it because getting heated IRL is inconvenient.
But I've got no problem telling someone to fuck off if they imply something I said is offensive when it is obviously not conveyed in any context where offence would be justified.
