I, too, have done the install arch from scratch and I will not be doing it again. It was very educational, but I don't got time for that lol. I haven't heard of archcraft, I will have to check it out.seasnails wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 5:18 am I think I've settled on my favorite being Archcraft at this point, because it's Arch (btw), it's lightweight/non-bloated so it works on my older devices, I love Openbox, it has an easy installer, and the distro has pretty decent simple custom theming out of the box.
(Before anyone roasts me: Yes, I've done the whole vanilla arch from scratch thing, a good ten-ish years ago. I did it once, it was educational, I had a blast, I discovered Openbox that way out of necessity, I used it until that machine physically broke down and wouldn't turn on anymore, and I've never felt the need to do it again since.)
I use arch, btw

Re: I use arch, btw
Lately I've been using regular Debian, it works really well on low spec machines and I love using it in servers. Recently I've been working with offline maps, tiles and directions API's to self host country-wide maps with navigation and directions, and oh man is it RAM/CPU intensive.
Every MB of RAM and CPU performance that I can get out of that machine is welcome.

This is why I love Linux + Blender. Windows takes up so much unnecessary RAM, so I get a lot more headroom just by using Blender with Linux. 4-5GB is a LOT when you're working with them pesky polygons!

Okay Garuda has wobbly windows on by default, so I have switched and will be trying it out for a couple weeks. I love wobbly windows.

I wish linux had all the cool window effects still like windows burning up when closing, and the wobbly stuff. Fun times.rejectconvenience wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2024 9:07 pm Okay Garuda has wobbly windows on by default, so I have switched and will be trying it out for a couple weeks. I love wobbly windows.
