I usually have a minimum of 8 tabs open, but right now it’s something like 24. I’ve recently gotten into a bad habit of opening tabs & not getting around to them until maybe a week or two, maybe sometimes more. I really need to sort out my tab game & start being more productive…
I’ve been here a week ago already asking if Arch would be fine for a laptop used for university, as stability is a notable factor in that and I’m already using EndeavourOS at home, but now I’m curious about something else too - what about Arch vs NixOS?...
The year was 2002 & I was fed up with windows for various reasons. Connected to the internet looking for a windows alternative & ended up finding slackware. Installed slackware & got it somewhat working. Happily used it for a short while, before moving on to Fedora Core when it was released…
I’d never used anything & I tried them all. GIMP was by far the easiest for me to learn & I don’t know why. The rest are not in any way bad, I just found GIMP the easiest for whatever reason…

I personally like ethernet because it’s so reliable & I’ve never had any problems. In my house WiFi can be so unreliable, whereas ethernet has been nothing but awesome…
Yea WiFi is definitely great for certain things, but not everything. My wife has friends over at the house from time to time, and some of them ask why I’d rather run a cable from the router to my computer instead of just using WiFi. It’s easy enough to explain, but because they are not all that technical, it’s hard for them to understand, I guess…
Haha, when I first moved into the house I’m living in now, my wife was never done tripping over my cable. I’d yet to mount it to the wall at that point…
The operating system in use shouldn’t be a factor. Consider opening your laptop to perform a thorough cleaning, and also consider replacing the thermal paste as well. If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, taking it to a repair shop is a viable option. Investing in a cooling stand for the laptop would also be beneficial…

I gave bspwn a try a while back, but never stuck with it. Recently been thinking about giving it another try. Any advice you could give to someone who’s primarily been using XFCE for the most part…
Most recently I updated nvidia drivers on Arch & failed to read the output printed to the terminal. Next time I turned on the computer I was left with the dreaded blinking cursor due to a driver issue. My graphics card had just switched from the main nvidia driver to 470xx & I had failed to notice. Installing the correct driver fixed the problem & I was once again able to boot. Previously way back in like 2002’ish I got a second monitor for my setup & tried manually configuring it. Had a number of unsuccessful boots, before I finally got it working…
One or two recent updates to the 470xx nvidia drivers on Arch partially broke my system. Since the most recent fix, I have the packages on hold so that they don’t ever get updated again. I just want them to work from here on…
I’ve created a minimal fetch script on my Arch Linux system. It’s written in bash and has been successfully tested on Arch, Debian & Fedora. It works out of the box on Arch, but you do need to change the package count command to adapt it to work with different package managers other than pacman. Also make sure that you have...
While I’ve nothing against neofetch, I prefer to use my own fetch because it needs little to no maintenance and has everything I need. I actually think that maintaining a neofetch config might actually be more work in the long run. Anyway… I’m using plain old Bash for my shell prompt. I’ve just customized it using nerd fonts (see one of my other comments on this post for the command)…
