I just wanted the workflow, ok?

Endeavour does it for me.

No nonsense arch setup without any bells and whistles.

EndeavourOS ftw imo

In any case, I end up wasting all that saved time on the semiannual rewrite of my neovim config anyway.

Those two days aren’t really spent configuring, they’re spent learning.

What about just using archinstall?

I was once checking out Garuda, because the name popped up a handful of times. Outside of the absolutely repulsive front page, the moment i saw unmarked and unexplained “fun scripts” in the installer, i unplugged the installer

2 days?

You guys stop configuring?

Endevouros

Or you could use something stable

Two days are worth the years you're gonna spend living with that system.

I installed arch last night in less than 20 minutes. The longest part was figuring out how to connect WiFi from the terminal. But I googled it and it was easy.

Quickly having a working system vs. Quick debugging if something inevitably doesn't work.

Only two days for arch btw? That's nuts.

arch makes doing complex things easier though

I didn't spend 20 minutes setting up Arch.

I use Arch btw.

Garuda breaking after one update

I'm installing Debian next time. Arch is OK but it breaks too often and keeping everything working in an Arch installation is a full time job. Void Linux is like Arch but more stable. Voids weakness is that some of the underlying libraries are different (something about multilib and glibc I think) and there are certain Linux programs that can never run in void and you can't get them. Monodevelop and virtual box for example. I might have to switch to something else soon just because I need this stuff. (yes I know about qemu and bochs, yes I know about compiling basic c# programs via the command line, and all of that is unsuitable for my use case). Void seems to be a great choice as long as you don't need to use Monodevelop or virtualbox though. It's great at gaming once you switch to x11.

There's a good chance Debian will have a harder time playing steam games due to older mesa drivers or something but it might be a necessary tradeoff.

Edit: also, WTF is the font situation in Void Linux? Half my webpages are have some shitty font front the 90s instead of whatever the normal font is and most of my pdfs look weird and can't be printed because of it. I have just about every single thing in Void repository with the word "font" installed yet I still have to get out my Ubuntu laptop every time I want to print a pdf.

I config like 30 mins a day its never good

We all have different definitions of "working system". I call a first time boot into alpine linux (after installing docs and ditching busybox) or openbsd a fully working system.

Try Endeavour OS. You only need to do ******* to turn Endeavour into Arch.

10 minutes, that's the time i need to configure my system from A to Z, and after that all i do most of the time is updating it.

Immediately get to work with Manjaro✅
