Recently as of typing this ive switched to arch linux on my 15 year old shittop 2nd gen intel (yeah REAL good.) 4 gigs of ram and the stinky ol hard drive.
Despite the HORRIBLE specs this mfer has Its been a Great machine for simple stuff like light gaming web browsing casual youtube etc. so ###dows was just a REALLY shitty messy it was slow and it was so bad that it took. im not lying it LITERALLY TOOK 10 whole minutes to boot 5 minutes to open the web browser and the games took a REALLY long time to load and not to mention half life 2 ran like complete shit because of how bad ###dows is. So ive made my choice to Switch to Linux
Im not an experienced user (well i technically kinda am) ive been using linux for a whole year and decided instead of using mint i could try arch
Boy did i not actually expect to Love This goddamn thing so much to the point where im considering to put it on my slightly better main machine the hp prodesk 600 g2 at a good ol 6ths gen with 8 gigs of ddr4 and an ssd
Basically did the good steps write the iso using DD image thing (golden thing to do if i wanted to install a linux distro since linux loves DD) eventually i booted to the live environment loaded iwd connected to my internet got started
Took a Few Tries But Mainly it worked but i just decided to install everything after i actually boot to the install
What i did was installed Grub The linux-linux kernel if u want me to specify it that bad got the firmware and base all of the goodies i can do to make a full install (sorta) eventually after i finished i rebooted to my hard drive booted first try shockingly. and eventually connected the internet from there and Installed the DE the DM (display manager i suppose) and xorg wayland all that good stuff. i eventually settled on installing xfce KDE plasma full package and your typical shit
What i did after finally finishing my shit
was well...P-Pokemon Games!
all jokes aside i was just getting my emulators games preffered web browser (Floorp) and then started using it for the past 6 hours never seen any issues loved the experience and overrall it was insanely light it could multi task and the best about it the 20 second boot time MAJOR Improvement apps open instantly Freedom hits harder than a goddamn jet running at u at full speed. and just DUDE loved it THAT much. eventually after all that shit i started posting well. This. and since im loving arch as far as im using it well for an ancient nividia card and ancient iGPU call that a win because holy shit its very usable. made my device a goddamn turtle lifting 5 thousand kilos to an F1 formula car with infinite gas. at FULL speed
What Was Your opinion on arch or LInux in general please let me Know ill try and respond as much as possible and obviously (sorry for my shitty english) and mainly the long rant and talk i geniuenly hope u like reading this i had spent too much time typing this so thank you if u read it all the way here
