Glad to hear it. Once you get some momentum going using Linux as your daily driver it gets a lot easier and smoother
So far it’s been a lot of troubleshooting for just some random issues. There were some quirks with some of the hardware I have that I had to figure out, but the Arch Wiki is so helpful. Even for really niche things and situations. Knock on wood, but I think I’m finally at a point where it’s stable on my system. Hasn’t crashed on me once yet today.
The wiki is also why I chose arch, it’s just so good. And if you can’t figure stuff out on your own, ask on the forums. I screwed my keyboard up so hard it would only work inside the tty and stop working when I launch SDDM, posted on the arch forum and after a little back and forth we figured it out. That took less than 12 hours and it was the best support I ever got on anything. Plus, it’s now there for anyone to find in case they run into the same issue.
I just a couple of weeks ago pulled my hard drive with windows and went with Mint for a good GUI (plus while I’m not an expert on any of them, I have the most experience with Ubuntu). I had some upgrade issues that I had to roll back a couple of times and got some scary failures to boot, but I was able to recover with Google searches.
I’m having a similar experience. Tackling one issue or goal a day is fun. Getting syncthing to start with systemd. Loading the correct module on startup to get OpenRGB to run correctly. …
I will probably never be a power user, but so far Arch is fun. I hope your experience will stay great as well
I swear switching off of Windows to Linux is like leaving an abusive family… you don’t realize how bad it was until you’ve got retrospect.
Great! I’ve been really happy with the new daily I picked up. I was actually having a few gpu driver related game crashes under win10 so gave it a try installing them on linux. Have had no issues running the same games with proton and open drivers.
Which media player is that if I may ask?
termusic – was messing around with idea to make my own toy tui music player, and this came up when I was searching for prior work on how to segment ‘player’ from the ui. It apparently supports cover images in kitty / wezterm.
