Totally agree with you! It’s not flashy or modern looking, but everything is where it should be and it all just works exactly as I want it to. I keep others installed on my phone to just to look at if an update improves them, but nothing has yet. Currently installed are ultrasonic, tempo and substream. Non are as good, but all looks better than dsub2000.

You can mitigate the aur issue and retain everything else offered by not using aur. You will have the most arch like system compared to all other distros, without the risk of aur. Those packages in aur are mostly not included in other distros, so you won’t lose anything.

Personally, I left arch nearly a year ago due to it being too popular making it a target for malicious activity, it only offered bloated and over weight systemd, and after running arch for nearly 20 years, I just got bored and wanted something new, so I moved to void Linux. Very happy with my choice. Boot time is 3 seconds, shutdown is 5 seconds. runit is a nice light and simple init system. It’s rolling release but not bleeding edge, so updates never break anything.

Yeah, I mean x11 isn’t Wayland. They aren’t the same. Changing from x11 to Wayland will require change in multiple ways, but I believe once you have worked through the change, you won’t see much difference in day to day usage. But the beauty of Linux is you have the choice. You can use x11 if you prefer. Just be aware the majority are moving to Wayland, so x11 will get less development and Wayland more, and I imagine there will be a point in the distant future where x11 will be a lot of effort to run.

The x is the clue in those programs. They are tools to interact with x11. There will be tools to interact with Wayland, or there will be hacks to get x programs to sort of work with Wayland.

Honestly, on a running system with average hardware, the average user won’t notice any difference. Depending on your de/wm of choice on x11, you may have to swap to something similar but different, but there it. Depending on what you used, something will require different solutions, like screenshots, but 90+% of stuff, there is no difference.

When your system starts swapping it will also start to crawl. Just set up an oom protector, then when you run out of ram, the system will kill the culprit automatically and your system will never crawl, and you get a notification what’s happened and why.

Nothing wrong with preferring windows. Lots of people stay on it. The people here prefer Linux, including myself. No harm in having a preference 👍

Just jump straight in and install in a VM. That’s all the practice you need. Can’t break anything, just wipe and try again until you get there.

Pros: it doesn’t do anything you don’t make it do.

Cons: it doesn’t do anything you don’t make it do.

You used “I” a lot in that response! You seem to think you have the best idea of what everybody else would find valuable.

What is actually true is stupid, pointless, simple and obvious questions being posted and responded to means other people don’t need to post the same question again.

I use Bluetooth. Or if a device doesn’t have it, I will drop it into my server with scp or filebrowser.

I don’t dislike it. I have no opinion on it. It’s something I have never looked into heavily enough as it has never been a potential solution to a problem I may have encountered. There are no security or hardening areas that I currently class as gaps that need plugging in any of my systems where I would consider looking into selinux.

Speaking with a lot of experience, this is an expensive hobby to get into. There is no such thing as cheap. The sweet spot for availability is find locally popular mainstream cars that are 10 to 20 years old. Anything older gets classic car tax on parts and everything starts to become rarer. Anything newer is more expensive just due to the fact its sort of current. Anything you would be proud to work on will cost money, anything extremely cheap will either require substantial work or you won’t be proud to work on. I don’t want to put you off, just be prepared to spend money. Good luck.

I like the interior, but don’t like it’s exterior. It should have been a 2 seater and they should have been more imaginative about the drive train and overall layout to achieve something more striking and interesting. It isn’t distinct enough from every other ev on the market.

Self hosting is as simple as hosting a service yourself on your own hardware and not relying on 3rd party servers. With that, Plex is partly self hosted, as you host part of it. But as a whole it is not a fully self hosted service. Discussing Plex in a self host group makes sense as part of it is hosted on your own hardware. Technically using a vps isn’t really self hosting, but if somebody sticks a service like immich or nextcloud onto a VPS to remove their reliance on Google, I still think posting in a self host group to discuss it is the best option.

I get the same in browser on desktop. Most don’t load or take ages. Don’t have the same issue in eternity though. Odd.

I have never been on a machine where I can’t install and use nano. I can use vi / vim / nvim, but I don’t have muscle memory. I have tried to convert away from nano, but it’s just too easy and what I have been used to over nearly 2 decades on Linux. I have nvim installed with a few plugins and a bit of a custom config, but anytime I need to do something important or complex I jump into nano. If I remember and am not in a rush I’ll jump into nvim to try and practice.

You can use absolutely any HDD or SSD. I have a mini pc, with only a single m.2 nvme slot which holds the os and system only. Then I have 2 internal 3.5" hdd’s and 2 internal 2.5" SSD"s all connected over usb via powered docks and hubs. Been running over 12 months and been 100% reliable. Usb3.1 is slightly slower than sata, but it’s negligible. Usb3.2 is faster.
