+1 for Arch… I use EndeavourOS.

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

I run a Celeron J1900 SFF PC. It has only 2 SATA ports, and doesn’t boot off PCI-E. I have used USB drives, but that’s not optimal. I try out new things on a laptop.

Now I’m also looking to upgrade.

Used workstations have SATA ports, but usually have Xeons in them, i think that means no QuickSync. And if they sell it with an old Quadro card, that’s too much for just a few video streams.

New builds get expensive fast. Also not many nice cases that are cheap.

Dedicated NASes are expensive because of the software and services they offer, but I don’t need those.

This is how far I’ve gotten, so I’m looking forward to seeing what other people have to say about it.

I tried Sway and liked it. But I guess I spent too much time on Windows… I’m back to KDE.

Dynamic Kernel Module Support.

Arch wiki:

The concept is to have DKMS modules automatically rebuilt when a new kernel is installed.

Nice!

Backup server?

Take a look at Mayan-EDMS too

When I change my server, I always start from scratch, hoping that it will come out better.

I don’t know what I’m expecting, it was always working well…

Yeah, imagine the torment of not being able to tell anyone you’re using Arch!

I’ve seen this behavior mentioned on phones (Google, Samsung). They have a chip for the basic tasks, but for heavier stuff (e. g. images) they call home.

I just remembered watching the RAM counter run up… in KB…

…then typing in duke3d…

I always have a grin on my face when my laptop boots EndeavourOS in ~20 seconds.

Haven’t seen that since DOS

USB SSDs are way faster!

I’m one of the lucky 10.000!

It just never clicked for me…

Because if you want to start them by typing their names, autocomplete kicks in later.

Aren’t you better off with plum or peach seeds?

I have used sc-im a few times, I like the simplicity and vim shortcuts.

Thanks for mentioning visidata, I’ll install it.

BLASPHEMER!!!

“persistent storage” is a thing.

But USB drives can’t endure standard Linux for long. Too many logs and other files written all the time…

Unetbootin runs on Windows too…

also Mac
