Alsamixer has a curses ui and can be used, set the audio to the desired level and enter ‘sudo alsactl store’ to save your audio levels. This affects all your input and outputs so adjust your speakers volume there then save it along with your mic.

I would say it’s seemless on Windows, not Linux.

I switched over to pipewire for my audio nearly 2 years a go and had 0 problems migrating from pluse to pipewire in Arch btw. You’ll be running an even newer version so it will be just be a drop in replacement and the worst you’ll have to do is restart the pipewire service when you install it or just reboot.

Based question but I hope your username is ironic.

so another ‘just wayland things’?

so was the problem wayland not doing something correctly or nvidia not doing something correctly 🤔

The only 6.7 AMD issue (feature) I’m aware of is the amdgpu patch that gets the tdp limits from the vbios so you can’t undervolt as much vs older kernels.

imac or macbook, what model and specs?

And 16 series, but that is also Turing.

You have to use the proprietary driver with GTX 1000 series cards and older to get good performance. 900 and 1000 series cards are cucked with no re-clocking on nouveau because they require signed firmware.

the b in btop stands for bloat

/ and /boot are (arguably) all you need on a single disk system

don’t care still using appimages and not flatpaks

shame it got struck by lightning, in another world you would’ve won the lottery with those chances

Install dxvk, vkd3d-proton, and the vcredist files and you can run a good chunk of games in your default prefix by clicking them in your file manager

• overly verbose way to launch them in terminal
• can sometimess not even respect your gtk/qt theming
• sandboxing/permission system can lead to you trying to figure out which directory you need to give access to when you want to save file if it wasn’t preconfigured
• uses its own libraries and not system libraries, want to play the hit new AAA game with steam flatpak? get fucked it requires a mesa commit that was merged 8 hours a go and you’re stuck on 23.0.4 and can’t use the git release.

Flatpak probably has it’s specific uses like trying to use one piece of proprietary software that you don’t trust and don’t want to give it too much access to your system, or most GUI software clients having an easy way to install Discord on your Steam Deck (no terminal usage, Linux is easy yay), but native packages 99% of the time work better.

In terms of plug and play, using KDE Plasma, trying to mount USB NTFS drives with Dolphin fails because udisks2 needs a new release with an NTFS patch so you’ll need to mount those using the terminal (and possibly a umask argument that I can’t remember off the top of my head if you want r/w access instead of read-only). Internal drives that are NTFS worked by clicking on them with no extra steps required surprisingly. This was with a newer kernel that has the ntfs3 driver and not using ntfs-3g fuse driver which also ‘just works’ but is slower.

Now we just need Apple M* hardware that can be bought like a regular laptop or PC parts, but that’s never happening sadly.

I’d just want more package maintainers for Arch, some people maintaining 1000+ packages is crazy and would take a load off of them.
