and thats why i compare it to chroot.
and thats why i compare it to chroot.
RSo that was out of the picture anyway.
Tbecause that definitely existed way before docker
RTBH, I never tried that at the time, blame that at guides/help/knowledge found around at the time.
Tarchwiki mentioned it way back to verify if your installation was sucessful.
TLFS aswell
TGentoo aswell
RI used Arch from 2016(?) circa.
Twith way back, i seriously mean when arch was introduced.
RYeah, just need to call Intel to stop rereleasing quad cores for that /s
RYeah, I found arch far later to be honest.
RBut it's the first distro that I had not dropped ever XD
Tmeh, arch is nice for quite a few things, but i would never let it run on any super critical in my workflow
RFair, assuming you do not need the customization part of it.
Tat max as a docker container with a snapshot of the repo at the time of building
RIf you only use VMS, you really don't arch XD
Tyou can customize any distro, any way you want
RSure.
Tthats not arch exclusive at all.
RIt's the amount of effort required that is the problem for me.
Tthats... the same, excluding immutable distros to a certain extend
RAnd with Debian in particular the amount of times that something broke when upgraded to another distro :P
Tthe only pro and con of arch is the AUR.
RWhich is my main point above.
RGood point, you made me remember something.
RNot having a way to track modification in compiled stuff.
RPacman plus AUR makes it painless for me.
Tehm... and insecure aswell.
RThere is always downsides to everything in life.
Tnot necessarily.
RImmutability is fine, up to an extent. Which has a downside as well.
T... which is?
Tespecially nowadays that you can properly add layers to a base image, i really dont see a true downside.
DManaged to get to grub and boot into the rollback snapshot. Didn't seem to load at first but then worked. Pinned it, but haven't rebooted yet
RIf you need to change something on a base package, for example.
ROr god forbid the kernel itself.
ROstree makes it far more doable.
Tyou replace it. thats not hard with rpm-ostree
RTo be really honest.
RYou can't replace all packages.
RAs far as I have seen.
Tyou could technically just make your own image at this point.
RAnd that's the point.
RIt's more work than a makepkg and an install.
Tthats not too hard either with the startingpoint repo here
RDoable? Sure.
Tif you try to replace everything in arch, it also takes more than a simple makepkg
RI'll stick with arch for now.
Tif i want to build something very specific for a pc build here, i would just run nixOS at that point
ROh, god, no.
RI wanted to take a look.
