imaji1104yNah, as a user of slackware long time ago, I can relate... Really missed those moments when I have to compile anything. XD
-
imaji1104y@LotsOfCaffeine No, just sharing a same feeling (kinda). But arch package manager and AUR system is pretty good, though...
-
@imaji the aur is definitely a big plus, I feel like you can get pretty much any software to run on arch with little effort
But the aur can also be dangerous -
lotd77754y@johnmelodyme FreeBSD is lovely.
Geli & ZFS are great.
- I mean zfs send & receive for transferring files <3
Jails rocks. So nice being able to see all processes in every jail from the host.
- did you know, you can totally jail a jail? :)
The system configurations are usually very consistent and well thought-out too, although I admittedly haven't dug too far down this rabbit hole :p -
imaji1104y@johnmelodyme Tweaking FreeBSD is like digging my own grave, the deeper I dig, the harder to get out. XD

notThere734yI'm "using" arch as well. Under the hood with Garuda linux at least. Don't know if that counts as using arch or it's like saying i code in cpp when in reality i let the python transpiler do the cpp for me.

Crowns2004y@brown Manjaro is definitely nice, but I like a minimal install of Arch with just a window manager on my Laptop and not all tools Manjaro comes with. If I'd use Arch on my Desktop then I'd go with Manjaro to have it a bit easier with Nvidia and gaming in general.
btw i use arch
