@RemindMe 12h

Good. It took me less than 30 minutes to download, install and boot into LinuxMint, download and install IntelliJ, clone my project and start working on it.
I guess I've saved more than 7 hours of my life, compared to your Arch :) (considering not everything's working for you and these 7 hours of yours did not include IDE, project, configurations and so) -
@netikras Arch is allowing you to learn how linux works and does a great job.
Also, underneath the "clean UI, easy and fast" keywords on Mint that distro is a cluster of mangled configuration files. -
@1337M0nst3r Yep, I agree! Even though I was also using Linux Mint like 10 months ago and Cinammon seemed quite clean and easy to use, nowadays I wouldn't trade the control and customizability of Arch even for an out-of-the-box experience like Ubuntu.
It's pain but it's good pain. -
@1337M0nst3r well I guess I don't need this info to do my job well :) either that, or I already have it
unless it was not your main pc - just a lab you are playing with.
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...
Well, it took me 7 hours but I finally made it.
I have a functional Arch Linux installation on my new laptop.
oh except the audio fails from time to time but it'll work eventually
and my hard disk starts clicking whenever I reboot even though I keep disabling its "power management"
and for fucks sake will you please mount my usb when i tell you to
and my touchpad doesn't work
but I can code and play games on it so whatever it's functional
