Well, it’s possible, but I don’t think it’s feasible… If you want another distro, it’s easier if you format your pc with the distro you want

What does pacman -Qtdq shows?

What if you try another interface, like shutdown -P now or poweroff -p?

Well, it is. Is so stable that many of Arch users install Arch once and don’t have to format the computer again in years.

Of course you can’t say that Arch is as stable as Debian, cause it’s not. But it’s totally unfair compare these distros, cause the use cases are completely different.

Don’t use a ruler to measure how loud a sound is.

I called it “stable enough”. For a home user, it’s stable enough. It’s a myth that Arch will break every update or it is unstable. Arch is as unstable or stable as you make it be.

You also can’t setup automatic updates safely

That’s partially true. If you’re trying to run a server, yeah, don’t set any automatic update. If you’re home user, you may do it and you’ll be fine, but be aware of your system.

Arch is easy to maintain and is stable enough. Of course you can make Arch unstable if you do greedy stuff, but if you use like a normal person, it will be fine

It’s using Arch for 5 years now and I never broke my system, for example

I don’t know if I correctly understood but I think that KDE plasma has this functions you need from DisplayFusion. You need to use Virtual Desktops + Activities, both inhetit to KDE

Maybe I didnt undertand correctly, but I think this may do the job for you

And it’s not. SELinux is much more secure, however much more complex. Although AppArmor also do the job, despite being easier to workaround it. But I don’t think this is a good argument against Debian.

Because I don’t even knew that this kind of tool exists. And it was precise AF. I just got surprised/scared haha

About systemd-homed, I guess that liveusb will not work… I suggest you to try in a VM and everything going ok, you may try on another user on your pc

Are the detectors part for real or were you just kidding? 😲

You were probably trying to format it nice, but I’ve only read this phrasing from AI.

Yes, I was, because I like to put my text well formated… I feel pain when I have to read bad formated texts, so I try to be as clean as possible

But thanks for the answer, the home folder would probably be best. I don’t want to think about it after setting it up. All my downloads and docs are there. I also feel like the whole filesystem would take forever for me to unlock/boot.

For home folder I think there is a better alternative, like systemd-homed or something like that

Well, looks like now we cannot be helpful and polite that people call you ChatGPT

Doesn’t alsamixer work?

Anyway, you may wanna try pactl set-default-sink [sink-name]> as well

Encrypting and decrypting are complex operations that requires a lot from the hardware. The resources needed to encrypt and decrypt is proportionally correlated with the amount of files you’re encrypting and decrypting.

That said, there are some alternatives

1. Encrypt the whole filesystem
2. Encrypt only your home folder
3. Encrypt only the files you wanna

There is an app, Vaults, that allows you to create vaults to easily encrypt and decrypt folders. Take a look on this app

It depends on your goals with linux.

If your goals are on devops, you may find a good idea learn about docker, ansible and other tools to make your life easier. If you’re a home user, maybe it’s a good idea try flatpaks, for example. And there is much more, but you need to define your goals.

That’s true… But once you get used to it, you don’t even notice that you write run0

I misunderstood your post. This command I told you is to make things better, not worse haha

If you really wanna make your Arch unstable, you may wanna install every single package with pacman -Sy <packagename>

Also maybe you wanna install everything from AUR

I was waiting for this moment 😹😹😹

But I actually am using run0

Try run reflector

run0 reflector -l 10 -f 5 >> /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Definitely a better place.

Congratulation System76!

You got your first hater on Cosmic DE!
