spicy pancake

I’m starting to goof around with Arch and if I turn into an “I use Arch, btw” I’m blaming you

had no idea you could use it on not a deck!

tbh hadn’t heard of steam and always assumed arch was difficult to learn. but i had been considering trying arch just to see what the hype was about

any computer I need to be stable enough for work/school: KDE

any computer whose primary purpose is for goofing off and gaming: LXQt (and I will spend the entire time configuring LXQt instead of gaming…)

Have it your* way.

*your way may involve several hours of configuration

LXDE/LXQT because I grew up using potato computers and now I can’t stand it if my DE uses more than 2% of my hardware resources

though I am currently using KDE because for fuck knows what reason, Kubuntu is the only prepackaged Linux I’ve been able to get to boot on my weird Samsung laptop and I haven’t bothered to gut KDE and replace it with LXQT yet

I actually use a decade old version of this to control a very expensive machine at work which is simultaneously surreal and validating of all the time I wasted spent learning linux from my teens onward

I respect Bunsenlabs for lacking the chaotic instability that I loved to hate about Crunchbang in high school, and which I hate to wish I could love as a busy adult requiring a stable system…

CrunchBang was my jam in late high school. I couldn’t believe how much more lightweight it was compared to Lubuntu, which had been my main for years due to having a potato laptop
