Make backups of your important files, or use a separate home partition. When I used arch, more than once I had a bricked install after doing updates. The last straw for me was when after updating my network completely went out. I switched to fedora and haven’t had issues for 2+ years. Also, (this goes for every distro, but more so arch than others) NEVER update if you don’t have at least some time in front of you in case something happens. Arch was definitely a good learning experience and it was fun at first tweaking everything, but the drawbacks in stability got a bit old after a while. The AUR is a godsend and it’s the best thing ever, you should also be using an AUR helper like Yay to make your life easier.

Of course, but the articles make it seem like it will 6x the performance in some games when in reality it won’t because the performance gain is already factored in upstream proton

These articles are very misleading because Proton is already patched to include fsync (I think it’s fsync). So basically there won’t be any performance improvement for most games under 99.999% of setups. Still a good thing that this is merged because it means the regular wine outside of proton will now be on par with proton

Very thorough overview, I really the charge limit feature, I previously had to use an extension to manage it

I’m on 565 haha, I think it’s got to do with the kernel, I’ve seen people say it’s solved with 6.13

I have an Nvidia GPU and suspend/resume works about 20% of the time so my PC is shutdown every time I won’t use it for a few hours. Don’t use my personal computer that much so it doesn’t really bother me a lot. My laptop is however long the battery lasts with the lid closed, I don’t use it much so most times I pick it up it’s dead.

Gnome is my choice because it doesn’t look and feel like it was designed in 2015. I also much prefer the workflow with the touchpad gestures. I used to have extensions but since I reset my PC and didn’t install any apart from the one that shows my cpu temperature in the top bar.
