As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me?
  • Most of the time you would be fine, but sometimes stuff breaks in unexpected ways, so at the least you need to manage a good backup scheme or be ready to chroot whenever there is a system critical update.

    As for Endeavor OS, It's basically Arch with a nicer and smarter installer (compared to Archinstall, not the Arch way). The downsides and maintenance are exactly the same.

    There is also pacnew..

  • Linux 6.9 released
  • I would have loved to take that performance before I converted my data drives to ext4, however it's just inherently not stable.

    Sometimes If you have a power loss you have to run chkdsk on Windows to get out of ro mode, no?

  • Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?
  • Many retro games are better. AA games were made with heart back then & that made it possible to make games that are incredible both in terms of artistry, grandeur and gameplay. Games like Baldur's Gate 1-2, Chrono Cross etc are not possible in today's climate.

    On the other hand we have been handed indie games like Celeste and Hollow Knight, so I don't know. Amazing games still exists, it's just not really comparable.

  • Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing
  • I don't know if it's a problem with experience.

    I think it's mainly these two things:

    -Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

    -The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.

  • Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing
  • You only used it for a week and already had issues and the team did not even brick your system with an update yet. xd

    Neon maybe has its niche (though I question the point of User Edition), but regular users should stay very far away. Arch is far more stable and it's less effort to maintain it too. If you want stability and LTS go with Kububtu or Debian.

  • Is it possible to make a global shortcut to bring the panel/dash into focus, but nothing else?

    To show the panel above a game window, without Firefox, Dolphin windows, the start menu etc popping up alongside it?

    I'm using the 'Move keyboard focus between panels' keybind as a non-reliable workaround right now.
