I don’t think it’s the distro. Arch users are just always angry about everything whether it works or not.
No need to be rude. For all we know it’s all the writers opinion and isn’t based on any real metrics. Besides I haven’t seen anyone in the wild that actively uses slackware.
Perhaps I should have added that I use arch myself. All meant in good humor, and I’m sorry if I offended!
Correlation vs. causality!?
Exactly what I was thinking. “People who are already less happy tend to gravitate towards Firefox” is as valid a takeaway from those graphs as anything else. (Also, where are all the other browsers? I’d expect Edge and Safari, at least, to be represented, even if Vivaldi and various Firefox forks were not.)
Bro, I rage at Ubuntu. Literally. Kinda unhappy when at work and using my Kubuntu.
(But unhappiest with Windows)
At home, 4 Devices use Arch Linux and I am the happiest person on earth with them. I love knowing how I set them up and how to fix something when broken.
I reinstalled Windoes 4 times because it somehow broke, while I still kept my Arch Linux through over 4 years.
(Generally, I dont tinker much with Arch Linux and generally was a Person who spent a lot of time with a Girlfriend. I read that wife, kids and etc was a point. Thus, I am mentioning how satisfied I am not only with my OS but life too. I also love my work, I just ignore that Ubuntu breaks sometimes. But generally, I wished I would be hsing Arch on my work)
Oh look, another Lunduke article. I’m sure there’s no bias at all. Nope.
In any case, I adore Arch and Firefox and am extremely happy with my Garuda install.
Let’s go Pop!_OS! We’re #2! We’re #2!
Coming for #1 baby
That will happen after the stable release of cosmic de
Whoa. So I grew up on Slackware but switched to Debian some time ago, and I can say I’m MUCH happier on Debian. The dependency hell on Slackware just killed it for me. I know they have some management of it now, but I just couldn’t take it any more - I was spending way more time administering the machine. I held my breath updating, which made me reluctant to update, which isn’t a good thing from a security point of view…
Yeah. My journey was similar. I appreciate the philosophy behind Slackware, but I don’t feel like I have the kind of spare time I feel like I would need to run my systems that way.
I think, for me, the proverbial straw was the Unifi controller. I was just like, “No. I can’t do this. I don’t want to do this.” My desktop was running Kubuntu at the time, so installing it on there temporarily was a breeze (confirming I was making the right choice), until I got the server switched to Debian.
I feel like this post would have been downvoted a lot less if I had altered the title to “Slackware users are the happiest!😊”
I am running arch and Firefox and i can confirm i am miserable.
I love it tho
We are miserable because we are disillusioned.
Miserable because Grandma hasn’t figured it out yet.😆
So of the three happiest distros, two aren’t very concerned with mainstream appeal and will carry on contentedly doing their thing while ignoring rankings like this. Sounds about right.
It looks like it’s about doing real work instead of tweaking your distro 🫠
Haha silly Manjaro users, only 6.83 happy while I am 6.93 happy as a Debian user. My Linux knowledge is clearly superior to most, not counting those excessively happy freaks running Slackware.
İgnorance is bliss
The unhappiest people always want to tell you how to live your life.
Because they don’t want you to make the same mistake.
“I use arch so you don’t have to.”
That’s strange, apart from installing it, Arch is pretty painless to run if you’re not careless
You’re assuming that Arch causes the unhappiness. Maybe unhappy people naturally tend to use Arch, so as to avoid further pain from painful distros like Pop! OS?.
I dunno, I was pretty stoked installing Arch almost a decade ago after my spouse surprised me with a brand new PC he built for my birthday. Was also stoked installing Arch, in more recent years, on the PC I built.
And I’ve been at my most miserable in life while being a Windows user 🫠
Oh shit, I was miserable back when I installed Arch. Dang, you might be onto something there!
So… Arch makes sad people happy…?
No, that’s just bloat feelings
