      A lot of arch users are kids fucking with thinkpads ricing up their systems and putting anime wallppapers while not doing anything serious.

      Ubuntu is commonly used by researchers and hardware developers who don’t really care about distro as long as it’s linux. The amount of times I saw people use the entire distro with default gnome skin just to launch a terminal to run their black hole simulation, the crypto cracker or some centrifuge control script… I myself am neither but ubuntu has been my go to as well since I usually don’t have time to screw with archinstall, so I just use ubuntu as good starting point and then tweak the internals as I go.

        I feel like I’m the odd person out, using Arch like most people use Windows. I play games, do taxes, shop online, and do very minimal customizing, mostly just in KDE settings.

        It’s a shockingly stable system for how “bleeding edge” it is.

            No you’re supposed to rice the hell out of your Arch install, put an anime girl wallpaper, some form of neofetch replacement (RIP), and post screenshots about it while wearing programmer socks and loudly telling people how good arch is and how much their distro sucks.

            Then complain about how you broke it and can’t fix it because you used archinstall thereby skipping the setup and recovery lessons, and didn’t read the wiki before updating.

      Arch users have the most whacky, customized computers you can find. Meanwhile arch itself is a small distro with very little features out the box.

      Ubuntu as a distro has tons of features out the box but ubuntu users generally just keep the default without adding or using any features.

        I think a statistic about how much of your userbase keeps the default config could be a testament to how good your OS is

    This is why I use Fedora

    Instantly works, and I never need to dedicate hours to fixing stuff when something breaks

      I mean, the pictures don’t even hint on “broken things” And I don’t care what operating system you use, every single one has the capability to break.

    Ubuntu users here wanted to go Debian, but also want to live in the current world.
