Glad to hear it. Once you get some momentum going using Linux as your daily driver it gets a lot easier and smoother
So far it’s been a lot of troubleshooting for just some random issues. There were some quirks with some of the hardware I have that I had to figure out, but the Arch Wiki is so helpful. Even for really niche things and situations. Knock on wood, but I think I’m finally at a point where it’s stable on my system. Hasn’t crashed on me once yet today.
The wiki is also why I chose arch, it’s just so good. And if you can’t figure stuff out on your own, ask on the forums. I screwed my keyboard up so hard it would only work inside the tty and stop working when I launch SDDM, posted on the arch forum and after a little back and forth we figured it out. That took less than 12 hours and it was the best support I ever got on anything. Plus, it’s now there for anyone to find in case they run into the same issue.
I just a couple of weeks ago pulled my hard drive with windows and went with Mint for a good GUI (plus while I’m not an expert on any of them, I have the most experience with Ubuntu). I had some upgrade issues that I had to roll back a couple of times and got some scary failures to boot, but I was able to recover with Google searches.
I’m having a similar experience. Tackling one issue or goal a day is fun. Getting syncthing to start with systemd. Loading the correct module on startup to get OpenRGB to run correctly. …
I will probably never be a power user, but so far Arch is fun. I hope your experience will stay great as well

Great! I’ve been really happy with the new daily I picked up. I was actually having a few gpu driver related game crashes under win10 so gave it a try installing them on linux. Have had no issues running the same games with proton and open drivers.
Which media player is that if I may ask?
termusic – was messing around with idea to make my own toy tui music player, and this came up when I was searching for prior work on how to segment ‘player’ from the ui. It apparently supports cover images in kitty / wezterm.
