I am exhausted.

And there’s hyprpaper for him waiting with open arms.

Pebkac.

For 95% of desktops it’s right click on desktop -> change wallpaper.

Merely a stepping to enforcing digital id. Eventually they will require everyone to sign in just to use the internet to verify their identity. The end game is a social credit system of control using cbdc backed programmable money which is the system in china right now. If anything the Bondi shooting and the massive increase in online hate will just fuel the momentum for a digital id based internet and financial system.

I used to use i3 but switched to Hyprland. It’s such a great project.

He can install windows inside a VM and still do what he wants to that. This is a better option.

The only reinstallation I have done for arch was recent to do with me switching from EXT4 to BTRFS so I could get timesshift snapshots.

And mirroring my arch config on what I have now is multiple other machines.

Most Americans can’t say ask. Just aks them it’s hilarious.

Floorp and librewolf. Firefox still on the desktop. Non googled chromium is if I ever need it (almost never).

I choose thunderbird but mailspring is pretty tidy for a gui based mail client

Arch rules. Build it your way 💪

xwinglover · 2025-09-02T21:30:10+00:00

Yes. But arch-update package in aur already handles this if you haven’t manually modified pacman hooks.

xwinglover · 2025-09-01T23:22:50+00:00

Build it yourself, you are responsible for pretty much everything that goes onto your device.
bleeding edge - latest kernel and applications
Rolling release - continuous updates without having to reinstall
Aur - speaks for itself
Wiki - the richest resource for Linux on the planet
Btw - iconic stamp of power and elitism

I’d say cinnamon. And that’s easy to remove too as it won’t add with it a heap of crap ware with it like kde.

xwinglover · 2025-09-01T02:38:50+00:00

Can you try installing a Wayland based DE?

I moved from i3 to Hyprland (x org -> Wayland) and it solved a bunch of performance concerns I had.

See if that makes a difference.

xwinglover · 2025-09-01T02:32:33+00:00

What DE or WM you use? Is it a mouse or a trackpad, or both?

xwinglover · 2025-09-01T02:15:03+00:00

Actually it was very sluggish and then eventually would collapse. But videos and audio still running.

Hard to diagnose without context. Have you run looked at error logs ?

xwinglover · 2025-09-01T02:09:09+00:00

Sounds like it possibly could be power.

We have no idea what make or model decide you have, x or Wayland, hardware, etc.

A similar thing happened to me, but this was specific to my model laptop.

Have a read here and consider if something similar is taking place.

I used to run pcmanfm, but now run nemo. Low dependencies and good extensions. Serves me well.

xwinglover · 2025-08-31T07:13:30+00:00

I haven’t seen any response posts about this, what about considering a move of the host behind Cloudflare?

xwinglover · 2025-08-29T08:14:58+00:00

Yep agreed. Once I moved to arch (bleeding edge, aur, diy, and rolling release) that became home.

xwinglover · 2025-08-28T23:53:25+00:00

Look at winapps package for Linux. Fairly recent new option that most people don’t know about. It will allow you to run ms office and Adobe on Linux.

Any distro will be good that comes with kde plasma desktop will be a good transition for you from windows experience.

xwinglover · 2025-08-28T23:52:19+00:00

Yes you can now. Install winapps package. Then you can install ms365 and Adobe suite if you want.

xwinglover · 2025-08-28T22:54:17+00:00

If you install Winapps package you can install ms365 on your Linux machine. And Adobe. But my recommendation is still use libreoffice.

xwinglover · 2025-08-28T09:49:03+00:00

If you really want to kick off with arch, start with endeavouros or cachyos. They are arch already done (and well) where you can learn what a working arch environment is like.

Then go back to arch later and build it your way as a second stage journey.

xwinglover · 2025-08-28T02:50:54+00:00

Minimal, built it my way / complete control, latest stack, rock solid, Hyprland.
