Not the same person, but my updates take like 30s (if I don’t go looking at what changed) and happen whenever I want. We’re not talking windows updates here, just sudo pacman -Syu, seeing the list of what’s changing (etc firefox went up a version? Cool), and then saying “sure” if it looks good to me. Don’t even need to restart all the time, although I tend to do updates before turning my pc off anyway so I nearly always do.

Packages tend to use the latest stable version of their software, unless you choose a beta branch instead, so if anything I think I’ve run into less broken software than on Debian-based distros because you don’t get bugs that were fixed a week ago but haven’t made it into the official apt repository version yet. If there is a bug, you can just not upgrade that package if you know about it in advance or just downgrade it until they release a fix (I’ve never had to do this but iirc you can pin a version in pacman).

Not suggesting to jump ship if you’re happy with your current distro, but arch is a great learning experience to set up and once you have a good system running it’s absolutely rock solid. Just don’t expect to install it in fifteen minutes like other distros, if you want a good install you have to do all the reading yourself (arch wiki is priceless) to make informed choices because you’re entirely responsible for piecing together your own OS.

If you haven’t seen the umbrella academy you should watch it just to see Nathan’s actor absolutely killing it in that role, he does such an incredible job. He brings a lot of the same humour but a lot of depth and actual character development that misfits had… less of 😂

The contributing guide is here but for adding simple places I’ve had good luck just doing it from the app. The hamburger menu on the bottom right has a “add place” option, and I found it very intuitive from there personally. Good luck and thanks for being willing to contribute!

It’s really pretty, I might try this on my pc. I mostly use matrix from my phone tho, and I didn’t spot any native support for that so I can’t actually switch.

Their website and roadmap didn’t mention it, do you know if they support video calls?

What client would you consider good, then? I’ve liked element so far but I’m always happy to try something new

I also really like Small Form Factor form factors

(sorry couldn’t resist)

Can you please elaborate on that second one, or drop a name so I can look into it? Sounds very counterintuitive and like something I wanna know

Wow you’re more patient than I am, if you type on your phone here a lot lmao. Thanks for the answers!

You make a good point about systemd being monolithic, and I hate to add to your replies fully ignoring it to only talk about the thorn… but I gotta admit I’m really curious how you type it.

I’m guessing you’re not using text replacement and that you’re typing it instead, but do you have it bound to a key combo, replacing a little-used character, etc? Do you use the same method on mobile, if you also use the thorn there? If you type like this everywhere, are you concerned about your distinct typing patterns making you easy to dox?

Sorry to hit you with a bunch of questions unrelated to your actual comment, I don’t have strong opinions on systemd so don’t have much to contribute there lol

I’ve given up on running ASA using a 5900x and a 10gb 3080, cuz I can barely get a stable 40fps at 4K with clouds turned off and the settings as low as I can tolerate them (including upscaling turned on). If you’re playing at a lower resolution you’ll obviously have a much better time with it than I do, but fair warning this game is just unoptimized as fuck.

My performance is entirely gpu-bound, but that’s also what you’d expect at 4K so if you run 1080p for example a 5000-series cpu would probably give you a big jump in performance. A 5950x, 5900xt, 5900x, 5800xt, etc would be a really nice upgrade from your current cpu and with a bios update your board should support them all. If you’re able to find one, a 5800x3d or 5700x3d would be ideal if this is a purely gaming pc for you, though they’re not as powerful for productivity stuff.

The only other thing I’d check out is just to see if you have vsync enabled / a framerate cap, your gpu usage being low is probably just from the cpu bottleneck but those two things can also cause it
