    • EndeavourOS is arch based with less hassle. Its more than good enough for most people. don’t get trapped by minimal install bs and other non-consequential opinionative approaches to software.
    • Select btrfs as your file system and use timeshift. If you fuck up or if your updates fuck something up. There are other ways of doing rollbacks and this is just what I became familiar with. I’ve used it two times in the past year, its worth it.
    • Bookmark the archwiki, 99% of the time the answer to the questions of ‘how to’ and ‘can i’ are in there
    • There are multiple DE’s. Pick what works best for you before you toss that bootable USB installer. You of course can switch later down the line, but experimenting now will save you config troubleshooting later, just stick to what feels/looks best. Look around on the web to see what appeals to your workflow. There are others like Cosmic and Wayland that are not included in the arch gui installer, in which case, follow the install procedures for the DE you want and remove the old ones to avoid config overlap.
    • Have Fun. If you are not, do something that is.

















  • I was about to upload that. Then turns out they use a third party to process this…

    During the sign-up process, they referenced even more third parties… so I gave up.

  • My biggest gripe is that it’s done through a third party, Persona ID.

    They make you agree to another set of terms and conditions which opens you up to even more 3rd parties.

    Were this limited to just Microsoft I might have caved.
