I hate arch installation process… (just tried once in Virtual Box… then never going back)

Perhaps you can try archinstall

India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:25:47
if you tried to build a rootfs by yourself with tools given by archiso or just with pacman

India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:26:34

India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:27:20
I did this for my container manager
India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:27:36
build and pack every image manually
India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:27:58
But now I’ll just use lxc images as its default remote repo

Many people move from Ubuntu to Debian to Arch. Has any of you moved the other way i.e. from Arch to Debian or Ubuntu?

India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:36:05
I started with debian, then have a try on manjaro
India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:36:23

India Tech Support 2022-09-13 18:36:33

recently there was grub issue in Arch distros , Luckily my system was not the victim🤟

if i face any Grub issue or some boot loader issue, Then i am thinking to move on to Fedora or some fedora distro’s 🫣

Grub issue is solvable. Not too much of a big deal. Also, it’s not due to Arch but some upstream changes.

its independent, rolling release, recently dnf to dnf 5 got updated (meaning more speed)

backed by RedHat,

Hate it because of less software

Fedora is not rolling. And not independent either.

Releases at equal intervals = no rolling…

Me too, by the way… It’s my daily driver outside of work, after all.

Yep, it should be independent meaning it doesn’t derive from another distro. If you say independent meaning it should not depend on something/someone outside its dedicated community, then nope, it’s not independent. So… It depends on what you mean by independent xD
