The Doctor

For starts, read the wiki. Specifically, read the installation guide at least twice to get a feel for how it works and what the Arch vibe is like. This is also your chance to figure out just what you want to do. Do you want to use GRUB or UEFI? Which sounds like a better fit? What filesystem? What do you want to run? mdadm or not? A little bit of planning and reading is better than reinstalling half a dozen times (ask me how I know…)

Must-have applications? Screen or tmux. SSH. Whatever shell you’re comfortable with (bash is how I roll, but you might be a fan of fish).

The firmware blobs for that chipset might be in a package you don’t have installed. You’re running Arch, so install the package upd72020x-fw from the AUR.

And you can run it over SSH on servers.

Everybody uses computers for different things.

At last, a fellow sysadmin! Nice work.

Because they’re processing data all the time? They’re doing work?

It probably means that more people are hacking on it and getting their PRs accepted than are working on SquashFS. What constitutes software that is still alive these days is pretty badly skewed toward “if you don’t release four x.y.z releases every day your software is dead” these days.

Nuance is deader than Elvis.

Why don’t you ask them? They’re very responsive to their community of users.

I just took a spin through their news blog and changelog and didn’t see anything about it in the latest release, so it’s probably not out yet.

There’s a difference between LLM slop (“write me an article about foo”) and using an LLM for something that’s actually useful (“listen to the audio from this file and transcribe everything that sounds like human speech”).

I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss or not about re-implementing initscripts.
