  • Yeah I also have one of these I’ve used on linux for years, it’s always worked perfectly. Better than windows honestly since the one time I made the mistake of booting windows with it connected, windows found some driver that it automatically installed that instantly deleted all of my profiles so I had to go set them up again with piper. I didn’t like that very much, that was the last time I ever booted windows on one of my primary computers


  • I wonder if more memory still increases post time even on modern computers that don’t do a full test on every boot. I feel like I’ve noticed faster post on computers with less ram compared to ones with more but I haven’t gotten around to actually testing changing the amount on the same computer



  • Just turn it off right after it shuts down before the OS starts booting again. (Or just turn it off whenever, it’s not like there’s much chance of filesystem corruption these days. Although there is a chance of registry corruption if you’re using windows and it’s updating, which is honestly worse to fix)





  • I don’t get how people manage to spend so much time keeping arch running. I used it on my laptop for a few years and it just worked?? It was like the easiest to maintain distribution I’ve used other than immutable ones. The only real problems I ever had were accidentally interrupting pacman during a kernel update and not having a kernel, but that was always a like 2 minute fix
