back in college (i’m old) i wanted to run arch on my desktop banged my head against my desk for days trying to get it to work turns out ryzen 3 was too new so arch didn’t support it the only way i got it working was a random forum post of a guy that refactored the bootloader to support it

What’s the benefit of Arch in general, or for your specific case? I’m using Mac right now and love it for the Unix filesystem, but from my time with Ubuntu I love how chill it is. Never got around to the “customization” of Linux tho, is that what you’re doing? If so, for what reasons? Just tryna learn, thanks!

Mac theme, it does a little more than just icons, it implements folder icons, I changed the font too

It makes Firefox look a bit closer to safari (optional) I picked it bc it makes it look a little prettier - not full blown safari - even though I don’t use safari

I have a Mac laptop bc the arm efficiency and an x86 desktop fit cost reasons (64gb ram is reasonably priced)

I’ve used Ubuntu a lot and it made me realize wait yo I probably could setup arch easily so I did, the nice thing and maybe bad thing about arch is it comes with the bare minimum- I was surprised I had to install GIT AND NANO and other stuff - so it gives you 0 bloat out the bix

Damnn alright I see. I grabbed a to-be-recycled 2013 “trash can” mac with 64gb of ram, so maybe I’ll turn it into a Linux workstation to host my own FTP servers or something. Any ideas what you’re going to do with your Linux?

To replicate install a gnome based Linux - this is much easier to do than setting up arch from scratch and installing a de, then I installed whitesur gtk theme (this works on other gtk desktops too) then install an icon pack, turn on the minimize and maximize buttons for windows for extensions I use dash to dock (animated version gave me errors) blur my shell, desktop items ng (bc gnome doesn’t show desktop items, search light, user themes

I’m going to use it for general purpose but in the background - and I already setup a systemd service for it - it will run a Minecraft server for friends, I’m going to install xrdp as I have a raspberry pi vpn so I can continue to use the pc as a remote workstation- like I did when it ran windows - if I keep dabbling into llms maybe I’ll setup a local LLM server - maybe plex, I might try to get moonlight working for remote gaming but I have to figure out gaming on this shit first (mc took 3 hour

s to get working, or honestly 1.5 but getting the system service setup took the rest of those 3) I would recommend pi hole for Adblock and WireGuard for a vpn - and then ddns for that vpn if your router lacks it -but I have those running on the pi
