  • Reinstalled Arch. I had used Arch way back in 2006, but fell out of Linux because I primarily game. Now that proton has improved so much, I dropped my windows install completely. I have tumbleweed on my desktop but decided to try a real Arch install on my laptop. I appreciate how easy tumbleweed was to create an encrypted lvm with snapper rollback, but wanted to understand it a little more instead of having a GUI do it all for me.

    Last night I successfully installed Arch with an “luks on lvm” setup, and was able to successfully boot! I didn’t quite get snapper working 100% either rEFInd, but I think I’m close.

    I definitely appreciate how easy Linux is to install now, but it’s good to know I can do it the hard way if I need to, and learn some things along the way.



  • Bought a litter robot 4, wouldn’t do it again for the price. It’s a pain to clean and the cats are always peeing/pooping on the sides. It constantly stopped it cleaning cycle, and ended up growing a ton of bugs inside because the design had some cat poop inside the machine where I couldn’t get to it. I had to dismantle the entire thing taking out every screw to clean it. It’s currently sitting in my basement. I left a similar review on their website and they decided not to post it, I guess they don’t like unfavorable reviews.
