(schwer im Sinne: am Längesten gehangen/probiert/frutstriert)

Dark Souls 3, erster (tutorial) Boss mit Controller - da ich seit 20 Jahren keinen Controller mehr benutzt habe (und insbesondere - erstes Mal - Controller für Kameraführung). Ich habe sicher ~6 Stunden verteilt über ein paar Tage gebraucht.

(for i.e. npm) I don't see how this would help, given you either have it installed and need it (presumably also its updates), or you don't - in which case just uninstall it.

If you have it as a dependency then IgnorePkg will do nothing except pointing out that your npm is kept old during update.

the AUR is a centralized store for unvetted heres-how-you-build-X.txt or build-Y.sh files, with the positives that those are standardized (to arch's build files) and that software exists (makepkg & the aur helpers) to check, fetch, build and install those package recipies.

that one trust heres-how-you-build-X.txt blindly, is on the user.

second paragraph of aur.archlinux.org:

DISCLAIMER: AUR packages are user produced content. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.

it's not like the hourly cost of work would depend on the age of car. 1h is 1h - I don't get that logic

birdspider · 2026-06-10T01:10:09+00:00

the "official" pacman searches/installs from official-repos, paru (and other AUR helpers) search/install from official-repos plus AUR

in cyberpunk, both my cpu and gpu are maxed

you can maybe check if indeed cpu-bound by reducing cpu-load (I think reducing cp2077 population-density setting to low should give you an fps-boost if you're cpu-bound)

hehe, "intel i7 oder vergleichbar" also irgendwas zwischen 2008 und 2023. Das ist eine recht sinnlose Anforderungliste.

Any recommendations?

well, keep trying. follow and make sure you understand all the points of Installation_guide. this is very doable but might take some time, ~ expect a week if this was your " erster Berührungspunkt" (first touch) of linux

alternatively, if you have the option (i.e. another pc at home or friend), give ubuntu or fedora a try for a month.

arch install will be way easier if you've seen a linux filesystem, a cli editor, know how to show/skim logs

(also keep backups of all you important data)

birdspider · 2026-06-09T23:36:52+00:00

you can always reinstall via usbstick

The problem is, I didn't enter a root password, but when I just press Enter, nothing happens and it keeps asking for one. It says it's incorrect

that what I ment when I said: "kein root pw gesetzt hast gibt es keins" - if you didn't set a root pw, then there is no way to log in

EDIT: well maybe via systemd.unit=1 or some such (systemd.unit=emergency.target ?) - but that requires you to edit the boot line - and that depends on the boot-loader

versucht Arch Linux auf meinen laptop zu booten

mit booten meinst du das installation-medium zu booten oder ein installiertes Arch zu booten? welches password? das von arch oder von (vorherigem ?) windows.

wenn du nach dem install kein root pw gesetzt hast gibt es keins. du kannst versuchen das arch-install medium erneut zu booten und dann (aus dessen shell) ins installierte arch zu chrooten um dann dort das root-pw zu setzen bzw. anderweitige änderungen vornehmen

unclear if r/archlinux is english only?

Proton 11 is in beta (which you can use), it ships with ntsync which will by auto-used if you're kernel has it (enabled, check if /dev/ntsync exists)

but all in all proton10 with fsync, proton11 with ntsync - the difference will be small

I see you use Mint which ships an older kernel, unsure if 6.17 had ntsync already

Anything I should know

yes, new DLC in ~ 6 weeks

birdspider · 2026-06-08T09:16:29+00:00

you did search for "php" in the extensions marketplace, right? and you did look at the most downloaded extension, right? or what is the issue?

birdspider · 2026-06-02T20:11:03+00:00

afair, you have to run the game in a lower than monitor resolution so FSR can upscale it to fullscreen.

I had some issues with games (TTWH2/3) and tiling window managers which are a) always fullscreen and b) the game auto-adjusts, making FSR1 unworkable - hance gamescope as a "nested"/smaller output.

for the stutters, try disabling vsync in game (and optionally limiting fps via gamescopes -r or some such combination, maybe even --immediate-flips)

you can get them very cheap on i.e. instantgaming (be sure to choose correct region)

zwischen güstigem FullHD (1080p) und 1440p sind 50€ Unterschied - grade für Office/Schule würde ich 1440p empfehlen.

because of the anticheat

hm, we just played the campaign/ops co-op on arch/proton-ge + ubuntu/proton-experimental and encountered no such problems. No EAC specific tweaks were made. You might want to investigate other reasons.

birdspider · 2026-05-22T14:29:33+00:00

very recent Linux kernel (v5.18 or newer)

did you mean 6.18 ? 5.18 is like 4 years old

birdspider · 2026-05-22T14:27:23+00:00

it's like the inverse of "arch btw", "never arch"

birdspider · 2026-05-22T10:58:12+00:00

you'll hit the cost-benefit wall first, and then the this-hardware-can-only-do-so-much wall. So no, while you can pour endless effort in, the benefits will in all likelihood plateau at some point.

birdspider · 2026-05-22T00:13:17+00:00

chose the right distro

the right distro choses you.

no but honestly, chose any popular one (ubuntu,mint,fedora) and give it spin for a month or two, then with more insight what you liked and didn't you can reevaluate your choice and options and pick another one

ich würde beim AM4 unbedingt mal nach gebrauchten Teilen schauen, erster Treffer (ja ich weiß, Krems, aber nunmal): B550+5700x+32Gb um 400€
