Crazy lol

Arch users here, just touched grass for the first time. Felt like bloat, had my lawn paved.

Make hooch

I think he likes ska

He’d get defeated every night

I’m on Ironwolf now

Edit: It’s Ironfox, I got that and Librewolf confused in my brain thingy

You’re naming them out of the stuff that specifically isn’t space!

Separate partitions for / and /home, save all your data, configs, etc. but you can still distrohop!

I have it alised to orphankiller

Interesting, I’ll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it’s just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn’t unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the “ca-certificates” package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it’s not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn’t match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won’t claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it’s on the “immutable” thing that’s popular right now. I’ve tried a few immutable distros, and they’re not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it’s been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I’m kinda in btrfs’ corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That’s hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Bleachbit

Just an update: following the very helpful suggestions in this thread has gotten my drive usage down to 16%! Super happy about that, y’all rock!

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!
