The beloved lightweight distro
Had to install Arch recently because it would help pad word count. Normally I wouldn't pick it because it takes so long to install for an experience that doesn't feel different enough to warrant that time. But I had to for uni so I thought people here might appreciate my attempt at making a pretty desktop. If anyone has tips with Gnome on here feel free to fire away aswell.
Arch needed for Uni? Mate, how do I transfer to wherever you study at?
Probably by plane /s
This actually reminded me that planes don't fly over my country...
Ok, you got me. What is your country?
Ukraine
I mean, planes do fly over it, but uhhh...
What do you mean "help pad word count"?
We have a word limit and the assignment I'm currently doing assumed you can get a work placement. Which I can't because no local companies are taking this year (The place I love has maybe 6 tech companies if you are generous). So I'm having to find other ways to display "A knowledge of best practices for tech in a workplace.
I didn't know Arch linux is a good skill to display. It's listed in a small portion of my resume but nothing huge.
It's not Arch itself that's the skill. It's how it's configured and used for specific purposes that counts to the marks.
I definitely think that putting Arch or any Linux distro for that matter shows technical know-how and troubleshooting skills. Being familiar in bash and shell is a big bonus in a lot of roles as well.
How old is that girl...
Last time I checked there's a difference between enjoying a TV show and having certain fantasies about characters from that show.
You can't look at anybody younger than 30 y.o.
does arch take a long time to install? maybe its just experienced linux user talk, but getting a working arch install is maybe like, 5 minutes with somewhat decently fast internet. 10min maybe if you want a fancy desktop, or 30-40min if your DE comes from the AUR and you need to compile a lot
If you're not using an installer and you've never set up an OS via CLI, installing arch takes a very long time. The installation wiki isn't short, and it's fairly complex.
I still wouldn't say its a very long time, my nephew was able to run through it himself in around 25 minutes via the wiki.
