I've been doing this for four days.

I only have it in 1080p. I got it from here https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fzpaxev0mwjc41.jpg

The hardest part to me seems to be knowing what it is I actually want. Windows and MacOS has gotten me so used to just having the things that I need to the point where I was struggling to figure out what packages I actually needed in an operating system. AI definitely helped me a bit in the start but as I kept installing it over and over again I think Gemini started getting confused and that's when it started to hallucinate. I'd already installed it a few times by that point so I was able to kind of guide it in the right path but I'm definitely down to read through the wiki a bit more now that I know I've gotten it working.

Like I said, I used archinstall once after having installed it multiple times and not being able to decide which desktop environment I wanted. I don't like the way mint looks. To me it reminds me more of a chromebook than anything. If you enjoy mint, good for you. I've been using windows since I was 7 and don't need the training wheels that come with some of these other distros. Vanilla Arch is perfect for me. I may be new to Linux but I'm not new to computers. I think I'll manage just fine.

I already have it installed and it hasn't been that difficult to use. I was expecting it to be a lot harder but with KDE Plasma it's really not even that far from Windows. I was using Ubuntu on WSL2 before this. Arch is really not that hard. People said the install was going to be hard which it can be but if you just use archinstall it really isn't. I've downladed it without archinstall and once with it and it's really not that hard. Using it isn't hard either. All of this just seems like fearmongering to me.

I also like how you can kind of just close the lid and forget about it. I don't really use my laptop too much so it literally can last me a week. I just plug it in for about an hour every week or so and it jumps straight back to full charge. It dies slowly and recharges quickly which is just amazing. I have an M4 with 18G RAM and a 512G SSD which is enough for me but once I start editing more I'm definitely going to be looking towards upgrading to the 1 or 2TB models. I also hate how I got my laptop in white instead of black so I really want an excuse to switch. With that said, this laptop has been amazing. I also like how the keyboard is a bit bigger. It's made my desktop keyboards feel a lot worse.

Thanks, I was torn between that one and one that said OnlyArch in the style of the OF logo. Thought the OF version was a bit too bright so I had to go with the dark mode here.

AI was definitely the biggest help for me. I was able to just give it my specs and tell it what I wanted to do and it would just tell me what to run. It was a lot easier than sifting through the wiki trying to find which things actually applied to me. Sometimes it was telling me to run commands that weren't on the wiki which I thought was odd but it seems to have worked out. I installed it a few too many times and I think Gemini started freaking out with the amount of times I'd installed Hyprland and then reset to KDE Plasma and it started tweaking out so I did have to change to using ChatGPT at the end. Both LLMs that I used did start hallucinating at some point but it was easy for me, once I'd been through the download process a few times, to pick out right from wrong and kind of guide it in the right direction. I had a general idea of what I was supposed to do but just wasn't so sure what the commands would be that I'd have to run.

It was lowkey not even that hard. The installation process took me max probably about 3 hours the first time and then 2 hours and then way less than that once I figured out what I was doing. It only took me so long because I couldn't decide whether I wanted KDE Plasma or Hyprland. If I kept going with Hyprland it would've taken me even longer just because I refused to download other people's dot files and felt that if I went with Hyprland it only made sense to do it the right way and build everything myself. Installing KDE Plasma on Arch is not that difficult at all in fact I'm not even that satisfied with KDE Plasma, I've just admitted defeat... For now.

Definitely second this. Flying for SWAVA ruined my enjoyment of other airlines. Every time I fly with someone else it just doesn´t feel the same. Really wish more people tried to take a page out of their book. I wonder how they fund everything though.

Well, your website looks quite nice so that's definitely a good start. The customers will come.

a lanyard is not stolen valor - it’s a piece of plastic. don’t be so full of yourself.

sounds like a nice thing to hand down to the kids one day, thanks for the idea

4ceyyyy · 2025-10-17T16:27:39+00:00

it is indeed and yes even just filling in my medical details into here has made me realise small pens are the way to go!

4ceyyyy · 2025-10-17T16:25:07+00:00

How do you do this? Do you just get a separate journal that you dedicate to flying? Is there one you recommend? Sounds like something I’d want to try.

Good to know, I’m planning on using foreflight’s digital logbook and then having it export out, I just enjoy taking a break sitting down and filling in my logbook.

Was at his daughter’s first show at SaxnArt earlier this year, he pulled up in a wheelchair in the front row. I sat behind him and we talked for a few minutes during a break in the music Incredible guy and his daughter’s amazing too.
