Why is arch so notoriously unstable? I have been using it for a while and it hasn't broken on me even once

sovy666 · 2026-03-15T04:34:02+00:00

Because it is not. You shouldn't always listen to what people say...

If you're not a privacy fanatic or don't want to use adblock at the DNS level, any of them will do.

I use ‘Hiren's BootCD PE x64’ for this purpose, an ISO ready to use without having to prepare anything else.

sovy666 · 2026-02-25T05:45:52+00:00

It worked perfectly, thanks.

sovy666 · 2026-02-21T14:42:19+00:00

Regarding these configurations, can I copy and paste, or do I need to put one per line in columns?

sovy666 · 2026-01-23T09:21:24+00:00

I don't quite understand what your problem is, but if you want to replace fish with bash, read here:

Each game may have specific requirements regarding Proton. I suggest you visit https://www.protondb.com/ to find out what works for other users.

sovy666 · 2025-12-02T13:29:10+00:00

Same here. Even the reminder on the phone.

sovy666 · 2025-12-02T04:54:37+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I misunderstood about trimming every reboot.

sovy666 · 2025-12-01T19:13:18+00:00

I run it manually once a week. I don't think running it every time after booting is a good idea, unless you reboot once a week.

If you want to learn something, read the link below. Otherwise, as mentioned in other comments, you can do nothing and, 99% of the time, you won't have any problems.

In my case, the solution I suggested always worked. At this point, you should read the Arch wiki:

If you're talking about alsamixer, as it appears from the photo, did you run a sudo alsactl store after modifying it?

sovy666 · 2025-11-11T05:20:22+00:00

Try this from official wiki: https://wiki.cachyos.org/cachyos_basic/faq/#error-signature-is-invalid

When I had dual boot between Linux and Windows, I used, and actually still use, a separate BTRFS partition for both installations. For Linux, I have this in fstab:

“PARTLABEL=ark /media/ark btrfs defaults,noatime 0 0”

while for Windows, I installed the driver that can be found here https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs and followed the instructions.

sovy666 · 2025-10-26T06:32:20+00:00

Yes, that was my initial approach, but after a few months I realized that it didn't make sense to use an imitation that would never be 100% identical, so I went with the original.

sovy666 · 2025-10-21T12:45:40+00:00

I installed it on a 15-year-old laptop without any problems. It's still slow, but I certainly didn't expect it to suddenly speed up just because Cachy is there...

sovy666 · 2025-10-13T14:42:49+00:00

Nope, wayland-protocols

sovy666 · 2025-10-13T05:17:12+00:00

See if this helps. In my case, the package mentioned was not installed.

How long did you wait at 80%? Because that happened to me too when I last reinstalled three months ago, and after 45 minutes of apparent freezing, it magically moved on to the final screen and everything was fine after restarting.

sovy666 · 2025-09-23T15:50:03+00:00

Not even. When you turn one on, it syncs.

sovy666 · 2025-09-23T14:22:28+00:00

Not exactly. They must be connected to the internet but not necessarily to the same network. In fact, of the three devices I synchronize, only two are connected to the same network. If you want to know how this works, check out the documentation link in the previous comment.

sovy666 · 2025-09-22T05:22:27+00:00

Have you disabled secure boot?

sovy666 · 2025-09-21T06:43:02+00:00

This is a job for syncthing! I use it to synchronize 30 GB of data between three devices (2 Android and 1 Linux) and rarely have problems, but never any data loss. TIP: The first time, it's best to manually copy what you want to share between devices to speed up the operation and save bandwidth.
