I called it “stable enough”. For a home user, it’s stable enough. It’s a myth that Arch will break every update or it is unstable. Arch is as unstable or stable as you make it be.
You also can’t setup automatic updates safely
That’s partially true. If you’re trying to run a server, yeah, don’t set any automatic update. If you’re home user, you may do it and you’ll be fine, but be aware of your system.
Arch is easy to maintain and is stable enough. Of course you can make Arch unstable if you do greedy stuff, but if you use like a normal person, it will be fine
It’s using Arch for 5 years now and I never broke my system, for example
And it’s not. SELinux is much more secure, however much more complex. Although AppArmor also do the job, despite being easier to workaround it. But I don’t think this is a good argument against Debian.
Because I don’t even knew that this kind of tool exists. And it was precise AF. I just got surprised/scared haha
About systemd-homed, I guess that liveusb will not work… I suggest you to try in a VM and everything going ok, you may try on another user on your pc
Are the detectors part for real or were you just kidding? 😲
You were probably trying to format it nice, but I’ve only read this phrasing from AI.
Yes, I was, because I like to put my text well formated… I feel pain when I have to read bad formated texts, so I try to be as clean as possible
But thanks for the answer, the home folder would probably be best. I don’t want to think about it after setting it up. All my downloads and docs are there. I also feel like the whole filesystem would take forever for me to unlock/boot.
For home folder I think there is a better alternative, like systemd-homed or something like that
Well, looks like now we cannot be helpful and polite that people call you ChatGPT
Doesn’t alsamixer work?
Anyway, you may wanna try pactl set-default-sink [sink-name]> as well
Encrypting and decrypting are complex operations that requires a lot from the hardware. The resources needed to encrypt and decrypt is proportionally correlated with the amount of files you’re encrypting and decrypting.
That said, there are some alternatives
There is an app, Vaults, that allows you to create vaults to easily encrypt and decrypt folders. Take a look on this app
It depends on your goals with linux.
If your goals are on devops, you may find a good idea learn about docker, ansible and other tools to make your life easier. If you’re a home user, maybe it’s a good idea try flatpaks, for example. And there is much more, but you need to define your goals.

I misunderstood your post. This command I told you is to make things better, not worse haha
If you really wanna make your Arch unstable, you may wanna install every single package with pacman -Sy <packagename>
Also maybe you wanna install everything from AUR
Try run reflector
run0 reflector -l 10 -f 5 >> /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Yeah… It was painful as shit. But once she reached my root and applied anesthesia directly to the root, my pain was gone. But yes, it was f painful and traumatic
Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.
Why people are disliking?
Why not use distrobox?
Agreed. There is no point recommend Arch for beginners. You need to have some knowledge before using Arch!
Don’t get me wrong… Arch is a great system and it’s my distro of choice, however I’m on Linux for more then 10 years! For a completely beginner, easier distros, such Fedora and PopOS, should be the way to go.
In best scenario you’ll turn your Debian to SID. Worst case scenario you’ll break your system.
I do not suggest this operation unless you’re sure what you’re doing.
Alternatively you can install yt-dlp using snap or using Nix Package manager
Difference between open source software and closed source software:
CrowdStrike bad coding make Linux crashes -> sysadmin has control over the system and can rapidly fix the issue by disabling CrowdStrike module -> downtime is limited
CrowdStrike bad coding make Windows crashes -> sysadmin has limited control over the system and rely on Windows/CrowdStrike people to fix the issue -> the demand is too high cause the issue happened with many computers around the world at the same time -> huge downtime while few people on Microsoft and/or CrowdStrike fix the issue one by one manually
Oh! Is about genocides you’re worried about?
There’s a Wikipedia page about US conducted massacres
There’s also a Wikipedia page about involvement of US in regime change in other countries around the world
US is a terrorist government (not the people, most of the people are nice)
Well, it is. Is so stable that many of Arch users install Arch once and don’t have to format the computer again in years.
Of course you can’t say that Arch is as stable as Debian, cause it’s not. But it’s totally unfair compare these distros, cause the use cases are completely different.
