Avec la fin du support de Windows 10 par Microsoft, j'ai décidé de passer sous #Linux (#ArchLinux), bah c'est beaucoup plus facile que je pensais, si vous voulez faire pareil (si c'est pas deja fait) et que vous hesitez, dites vous que vous avez réussi à comprendre Mastodon :blobcatcoffee:

This made my day.

Neighbours Kid*: I'm going to install Linux on my new computer this weekend. Could you please help me if I get stuck?

Me: checks callender It's your lucky week. I can do that. What are you going for?

Me: expecting something like Mint or Bazzite.

Kid: Oh it's going to be Gentoo because Arch is for posers.

*Well he is 16 and in an aprenticship to become a "Mechatroniker" so it should be fine...

Before #Windows10 goes #EOL, I'm testing three alternative #Linux distros to save my 6-year-old laptop from the landfill
To start using #Windows11 in a productive manner you need something like an Intel 9th Gen CPU and 16GB of RAM, along with 512GB of fast storage as a comfortable minimum.
The author is testing #CachyOS and #ArchLinux derivative, #L:inuxMint, and #ZorinOS

Though I think they should try Vanilla #Ubuntu and #RockyLinux too

New setup, who dis? It's that time again, but some changes:

The most significant change isn't the hardware. For the first time with MAME on Haiku, the build script uses #LLVM 20's lld instead of GCC's ld. I'm hoping this is going to dramatically reduce build time. We shall see!

OK, riddle me this, #Linux (specifically #ArchLinux) fans.

You can use #ZFS and #btrfs on root to create snapshots before updating the OS. But you can't snapshot EFI, because that's on a separate FAT32 partition.

So what happens if you run an update (pacman -Syu in this case) that includes a kernel update, and something goes wrong? The version of the kernel in the EFI partition will be newer than the modules in the snapshotted /usr/lib/modules. That's surely going to cause an issue, right?

From memory (it's been over 15 years), Gentoo can have multiple versions of the same kernel installed at once. But Arch only allows one version of any package at one time.

I get that so-called "Gaming-Distros" like CachyOS, EndeavourOS or Garuda Linux are based on Arch Linux because of the rolling release, but their "user-friendly" approach is inherently against Arch's philosophy:

"Arch Linux official packages do not provide system-wide GUI configuration utilities, encouraging users to perform most system configuration from a command-line shell and a text editor. "
