  • Unfortunately some old tech does just start becoming obsolete at some point. sure you can force old software on to it but unless its designed to just interact on its own or with some other equipment thats stuck in time, it usually ends up not being worth the trouble or time, especially when you can get pretty powerful (comparison wise) equipment for cheap. chrome books for example are dirt ass cheap and some times a better solution than trying to get a super old system running again.

    exactly this. there is a reason all the experienced users ultimately end up on arch. the old arch sub used to say “all paths lead to arch”. seems like no matter what distro you start with, eventually you’ll find your self using arch for your personal daily driver due to its resources making it quick and easy to get things working.

    I would say pop is for new users, arch is for users that know what they want and willing to put in the time, i wouldnt say its “for hackers”.

    picking an arch based distros thats already built for you though is the easy way to go if you want a linux system for gaming. I tried using pop for a while. it was ok but ultimately a rolling release system was better.

    Imma be real… Arch has been the most consistent system I’ve used to date.

    I’ve been using linux off and on since like 2008. I jumped around from ubuntu, fedora, opensus, popOS, centOS, etc… I’ve had manjaro and now arch as my daily driver for probably 4 or more years now and Arch updates have only ever broke one thing, one time, and it was more of a audio pipewire issue than it was really archs fault.

    arch updates do not deserve this slander, its been very reliable for me, more than probably any system i’ve ever used.
