Typical installation of Ubuntu vs Arch vs Gentoo Linux…

Make sure you have some liquid nitrogen before installing Gentoo!

This video is the comparison of Ubuntu Linux installation experience with Arch Linux install & configuration and finally Gentoo compilation.

  • I installed arch on an old laptop, and when compiling even small packages it takes ages and heats up a ton, if i tried to install gentoo, it would unironically be completely fried unless i disconnect the power supply in time.

  • ubuntu for actual work. arch for messing around at home trying to do cool nerdy things.

  • me, watching this video in ubuntu

  • Arch Linux honestly sucks. Gentoo is for those whom care about their Computer, and I believe it should stay that way.

  • installing gentoo can be helpful if you want to learn how to develop your own operating system

  • You know you've fked up in life if you've begun installing ubuntu.

  • I don't get why people think Arch is hard to install….

  • Unrealistic Ubuntu didn’t spontaneously combust for no reason

  • arch makes you feel good that you did a thing when you (eventually) set it up right and the way you want it.

  • "personalization" is the most stupid reason to use Linux… only youtubers do that

  • I've been using Ubuntu for years now. It lets me do work. Instead of working on the OS figuring out how to make things happen..

    Ubuntu for actual work is great… That's what I like. I'm sure there are other great distros but that works for me …

  • Am i the only one to notice that he pinged BAIDU to test the internet connection

  • Now throw NixOS into the mix. Oh, but it supports all three approaches, plus things like nixos-infect where it just eats your existing Linux distro, replacing it with itself (mwahaha)

  • yeah I remember completely broke my WiFi hardware (I think it was a switch to turn on WiFi module I guess?) when installing Arch Linux for the first time on host machine (I’ve done it on VirtualBox only)

  • No one talks about how installing Debian is harder than Arch lmao

  • How did you do that partitioning so fast? When i tried i couldnt get it to work (or i assume thats the issue given the fact that thats the only part of the install process not covered by the wiki, which is dumb because i feel like thats more important than setting up your timezone which got like 5 paragraphs

  • Sry but what is the name of the song of the arch installation part? Thx in advance:)

  • arch has command archinstall, with it, its whery easy to install it

  • I only use Gentoo at home. I have a Gentoo server on my personal network so it refreshes and compiles every day at a specific time, my computers x64_86 immediately pick up when their build is ready via simple scripts. I also have other automatic builds for ARM32&ARM64 along with other builds that demand small amount of space. I've always managed to get more space on the internal disks with super small builds.

  • In 2014 I spent 2 weeks to install gentoo and since then my knowledge of linux has almost always increased. Only a year ago I installed this system on my PC as the only one and I can confidently say that it is well configured, works stably and if something breaks I have no problem fixing it, no problem setting up kvm/bluetooth/wifi/clang+musl+libcxx/zfs and a bunch of other stuff. Almost everything shown in the video I either remember by heart or know how to find in a couple of minutes.

    I sincerely sympathize with people who get into this without proper motivation and a good base. If I wasn't an enthusiast, I'd spit on everything myself and use Windows 😀
