    Im not, arch is a nightmare for me. I try to installiert something over pacman: ERROR. I try to fix the error, doesnt work because it needs certain shared library files… That i can not find.

    But thats not the only thing, somehow the Servers are allways down and its not a nice little challange anymore. More like a piece of code designed to make me miserable.

    I hope thats different in gentoo :)

      Well, to be honest, you’re choosing the two most difficult distros to manage.

      It sounds like you’re kind of new to the area…why not just use Fedora?

          That’s…an opinion that is not backed by any facts at all. What in the world are you talking about with “bloat” 🤣

          So you’re a newbie, and making lots of wild claims and taking awfully opinionated positions in this thread all over the place. I don’t think you want help, so just be on your way 👍

      Why do you like Arch? If you want the minimalism but you don’t want to compile everything yourself, I’d recommend Void Linux. It’s a lovely little distro; I only don’t daily drive it because of less package availability than Arch+AUR, and I couldn’t be bothered to package so many things myself. But I don’t remember their servers ever being down when I used it.
