If you want to play games then check out Nobara. It’s based on Fedora and made by the guy that created GE Proton

What’s up with all the negativity around flatpaks? I use Arch (btw) and I try to install as much as I can using flatpak. I think they are great. They are compatible, usually up to date, easy to install, easy to remove and it won’t break your system. The sandbox can be edited to include more paths etc.

I have heard that Nobara Linux is great for gaming but I can not confirm since I use Arch btw

Edit: sorry for the double post. My lemmy app threw me an error now I can not delete my second comment

I also started off using nano. Have you tried Micro? It’s like nano on steroids and with good keybindings

You could set up a development environment using distrobox in an arch container and keep the downgraded packages installed in there if it happens again

I think you should try VanillaOS 2.0 when it comes out

Is that common in your country? I can’t remember last time I heard about a dog attack here

That’s like saying driving a sports car is more dangerous than a regular car. In some sense, yes it is, but at the same time it’s not the cars fault that the driver irresponsible.

Check out the btrfs filesystem with snapshots

Based on my experience you can ask for Thai spicy. It also works in Indian restaurants if you ask for Indian spicy. So far I have gotten what I asked for.

My latest experience in my local Indian restaurant resulted in the waiter to double check if we understood what we asked for. Once we got our food he was eyeing us the whole time to see if we would survive haha
