This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Done all three, all three are good in their own way. These days, I run EndeavourOS :)

I'm hearing a lot about it lately, its one of the distros i never tried. I always assumed its just another preconfigured arch distro. It's hard for me to trust an arch based distro because manjaro once committed suicide on me.

EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and nicely set up for a "daily driver" PC. They also have a generally friendly and helpful community. It's not like Manjaro at all; more command-line centric (but you can install gui tools if you must).

That's just arch being arch. Pacman loves to commit suicide.

Dude don't blame arch for that necessarily. Manjaro has always been shady AF. More bad press for Arch comes from that pos 'distro'. I understand sorta why the arch forums get salty when 'actually I'm on Manjaro' come up in the process of trying to help them.

How long are you using arch? How many times did you have to do a "manual intervention"? How can you trust your OS with anything serious when it does things like that every now and then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Years and it was so much more stable than trying to do a version update on something like Ubuntu. Just run pacman every week or so and you're fine. Also... A manual intervention never resulted in any data loss. At the VERY worst you might need to break out chroot and do something annoying.

All of my bad experiences happened at the beginning as I was learning. And no, I would not suggest that a new arch user use it for anything important. But that's not bc of arch. It's because the user hasn't usually learned the differences between the hand holding of other distros and the dirty hands mentality to tune the engine yet.
