Framework was too expensive for me so I went with Minisforum V3

It’s a nice bang for the buck and most of the stuff works for me on arch.

Ubuntu was reliably bugged and I could not use the software I needed for work because of that. I had to fuck with it on a monthly basis to fix it.

Arch reliably works and is always up to date, so bugs that I experience get fixed in a timely manner.

I never had to fix it after an update. On my personal PC I have the same arch install since 2020.

Never ever did my arch not boot or not work after an update.

I literally have a web server with arch that runs automatic daily unsupervised updates (which is not recommended by arch devs tbh.) And it has been serving my personal homepage for a year without downtime or maintenance (except for 15sec post update reboots ofc.).

If you want to go beyond personal anecdotes as evidence, we both would need to conduct a significant study.

But I feel like people keep saying that arch is unstable without trying it themselves or without looking at data.

Everybody keeps saying that.

But when I used Ubuntu/Debian and it had a major bug in the software that I used, which made it completely unusable, I had to wait for half a year for the next release which included the bugfix. But then it also included new bugs in other things… It was mostly broken at any point in time, bUt At LeAsT iTs sTabLe

Same can be said about Windows though… it is supposed to just work, but then why do I get a call from my parents every month cause something is broken on their Windows 10 computer?

I don’t understand either.

Personally I run it on my desktop, servers (with automatic updates, I know, I know - I like to live dangerously) and rhaspberry pi’s without any hiccups for years.

I’d install it on my car or toaster if I could.

Before that I was constantly fighting to keep my Ubuntus and Debians running…

Maybe? I saw a presentation from the dev, not sure if it will run on windows though

Is the ‘%MARKDOWN’ part of your example correct? That should also be converted to a dash? Or did you forget the 20 there?

Here is a nice video that gives you an easy to grasp intuition about durations of different operations and access of components of a computer (Cache vs RAM vs SSD vs HDD etc.)

I find it illustrates well why a fester drive or even faster RAM (unless there is a different bottleneck) would give you a more noticable performance uplift than a different Kernel.

Sorry, it’s been a while since I did the install, what I meant is: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram#Using_zram-generator

I usually run the default arch zram config which is 50% of the RAM. For your case I’d go with 2 or 3 GB

Next, show us your butthole by drawing it in the linux terminal

The state of mind depends on sensory input.

Great concept, but I don’t live in the terminal and prefer GUI text editor features (like jumping the cursor with a mouseclick).

The workflow on the git page looks extremely clunky compared to a textfile.

Here is my personal approach to this.

• I have set my bash history to a ridiculous 1000000 max length, so that I can use CTRL+R to search for commands that I have ran before

• I write down a lot of commands in a searchable note text document

• Ask chatGPT

• Use the tldr command

• Added A LOT of verbose custom aliases and scripts. For example instead of

inotifywait -m -r --exclude "(/tmp.*|/var/cache.*|/dev/pts/|/var/log.*)" -e MOVED_TO -e CREATE -e CLOSE_WRITE -e DELETE -e MODIFY . (nobody can remember that alphabet gibberish)

I just type watch_for_changes .

Since it is verbose, straight from my brain, I always remember it and it works with autocomplete. I have like ~30 such commands so far.

I usually recommend Zorin OS to noobs, but personally I prefer arch based

For many games, the loading times are not thaaaat different when comparing HDD vs SSD vs NVME. (Depends on how impatient you are tbh.) And it barely affects FPS.

The biggest appeal of NVME/SSD for me is having a snappy OS.

So I would put your rarely played games on a cheap, big HDD and keep your OS and a couple of the most frequent games on the NVME. (In the Steam interface you can easily move the games to a new drive)

I find it to be a much simpler solution than setting up a multi tiered storage system.
