  • Arch is customizable, like legos. It’s neither minimalistic, neither lightweight. It gives you almost unlimited amount of legos and you build something. Bad at building - you fucked. Good at building - congrats.

    You don’t require to melt those bricks from plastic tho (gentoo) or rebuild an existing OS (Ubuntu).

    Also when you buy Arch Lego© set, you also get a great instructions on how to do it (arch wiki) + recommendations on how to order additional less-frequently used legos (AUR).

    That’s why I prefer Arch. 👌







  • A bit more “home user friendly” explanation:

    Basically your home PC where you download “Linux ISOs”. But because you don’t like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.

    “Automate” is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your “wishlist”, downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.

    This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it “seedbox”.

    Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it “seedbox”. They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it’s not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my “Linux ISOs” from Jellyfin.





  • Not gonna play them if they include their launcher after game is started from Steam lol.

    EDIT: I am very happy to hear that everyone hates them. EA as well as Rockstar has shown that their launchers are shit. On Steam Deck EA games often fail to start at all due to EA launcher updates, and Rockstar launcher takes around 3-5 minutes to start a fucking game (which should start instantly).



  • Myself I have dual boot. For the sake of simplicity - let’s say I have 2 drives:

    1. 512GB NVME SSD - for OSes.
    2. 2TB SATA SSD - for games.

    512gb ssd partitioned into 2 parts - 256 for Linux and 256 for Windows.

    2TB ssd without partitions, but a plain BTRFS with zstd compression storage.

    Guess what - There is WinBTRFS driver. I am also sharing the same Steam library (on 2TB ssd) between both OSes… 😅 Works like a charm. 👌👌👌



  • It depends. Kind of prefer Flatpaks as they are always working as expected on any distro, but some of them are giving me just too much struggle.

    For example, dealing with sandboxing, or especially VSS code app. Yes, there are instructions, but then I install Golang SDK via Flatpaks the hard way (using CLI) for Go development, then having a nightmare trying to setup everything in vss code. Then how tf should I access go binary within my host terminal?

    On Arch Linux I just tend to install from official repos, while the rest of apps - from Flatpaks.

    Personally I don’t like the way they are sandboxed, bit as long as it works I am fine.

    HP

    You fucking what? 😂😂😂😂😂

    Seriously, there might be a debate of what printer company is better, but there is no debate which one is worst. It’s HP. 😅 They are so bad that they have no competitors of the worst fucking printer company. xD

    Myself I got Brother printer. Works like a charm, no bullshits. People on Reddit also highly recommend this brand too. Totally agree.
