  • To use a web dev analogy, Arch is like node, pacman is like npm. You can install node and it’ll do basic functions - just like you can install arch and have basic functions with the base package. Then you need to just install additional packages to include the functionality and libraries you want to use.

    Following the installation guide highlights many packages needed for a “fully functional” desktop, and there’s a lot of choices to make along the way. It’s not considered good for a novice because most users don’t know (or care) about the difference between pipewire or alsa, i3 or gnome, network-manager or systemd-networkd - they just want a GUI, sound and a network connection.



















  • Yeah I mean I definitely have games like Noita that are 2d and happily empty the battery in 2, 2.5 hours. Guess I was just speaking relatively to tomb raider, 2d games I can usually minimize the tdp with no performance impacts and carry on for 4 to 6 hours, compared to any average AAA 3d game that is going to have a hard stop around 1.5-3 hours.

    I figure a cross country us flight is around 4.5 hours, those games I listed proved they go the distance. I’m struggling to think of a single 3d title that would make it.
