The Arch Way = FOCUS?

steelcowboy · 2014-09-26 15:00:02

Just noticed that we could say Arch likes to FOCUS on the following 5 principles:

1) Freedom
2) Openness
3) Code-correctness over convenience
4) User-centric
5) Simplicity

Then we have a nice acronym for it Just a thought

I think you would do well in management.

I concur with drcouzelis lol

kynikos · 2014-09-27 00:10:07

steelcowboy, you're at least the third person who notices that first and second

drcouzelis · 2014-09-27 01:18:52

kynikos, I think you will do well as a future replacement for karol.

steelcowboy · 2014-09-27 02:40:49

Lol, look at that! We have quite a few Arch users who would be good in management

Perhaps we could put it on some sort of motivational cat based picture?

When I think about Arch, I see http://cdn1.smosh.com/sites/default/fil … ator-4.jpg and http://cdn1.smosh.com/sites/default/fil … tor-25.jpg
As for a background for FOCUS, I'd go with the Serious Cat: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/ … 7v7bme.jpg

The trouble is, in reality this isn't the case. 1, 4, 5 were (amongst other reasons) ruled out when systemd took over.

Currently 136 packages require systemd. If the answer is "you can recompile anything you want", then it's not the "Arch way" it's more like the "Linux/OSS way", as the same can be said for most/all distros

You really can't let any opportunity to troll about this go by, can you? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … o_Trolling

I had a scroll through my previous posts. The most recent mention of Arch packaging, or systemd criticism I can see is from 2014-06-26.
