I just have pack
and extract
functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.
Wrote them 10 years ago and they’ve worked flawlessly ever since!

Compared to almost all other distros, Arch is advanced in the way that it’s the simplest of them all. Nothing except the very basics are set up for you, so it’s tough to start with.
Proton is just Valve’s fork of Wine. It had a lot of game-specific patches, to make all the Steam games work better.
Wine isn’t meant specifically for games - you can run most Windows applications in it. It’s just translations of Windows syscalls to Linux equivalents, to put it simply.
Proton and Wine are largely the same thing. Proton just has DXVK built in as well as a bunch of Valve-made patches.
Valve had greatly accelerated Wine development. I still run many games off pure Wine with manually added DXVK.
I used to just check WineHQ and if it has Gold or above, you can definitely make it run
Steam version of BG2 EE worked flawlessly for me. It’s been discounted down to like 3€ a few times
It’s not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn’t get hooked. With BG3 however, I’m at 60 hours and I can’t put it down
Show me some proof of any significant performance gain from these configuration changes, then. You also forgot to mention running Zen kernel as well, which might actually provide some benefits.
Nvidia are notorious for releasing broken Linux drivers… You probably won’t notice this unless you actually update frequently. Arch is bleeding edge so they often fly right through without much testing.
I upgraded my 2600K to a 6600K and it felt like a 5x increase across the board. Same when I upgraded that to Ryzen 7 5800X
All in all, a whopping 1-2% increase. Yay!
I’ve been using Arch for over a decade, and I would advise you to be careful when upgrading nvidia drivers. They just break every so often. Just do not delete your pacman cache and you should be able to easily downgrade
Working in IT/development, this article encapsulates all my every day frustrations
The conspiracies never end with you people…
Instead of aliases, I just have lots of symlinks in my homedir.
I do have ..
and aliases though.
Mostly if I’m gonna work with files I just use ranger
, or FZF from my shell to find stuff.
It just isn’t. A car would need at least 2 passengers to beat a plane, maybe 3-4 depending on the car. Jet engines are incredibly efficient and planes carry a lot of people. If they all hopped in cars, the planet would turn into a smog hellscape.
If you care about personal emissions so much, take a train.
You write as if you’ve had a bit too much to drink
This site quickly turned into reddit-style bandwagoning and downvoting stuff you disagree with, huh
They do it anyway though.
A full plane is still greener than a car with 1-2 passengers.
It’s not trying to piss you off, it’s trying to make money, as it should. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to run the infrastructure behind YouTube? Neither do I, because it’s unfathomable.
I pay for YouTube Premium along with 5 friends. It’s $5 per month per person. Beats any streaming service by miles.
I do, however pirate all my movies (except for the occasional cinema visit) and TV shows.
YouTube has Shorts. Mine is mostly cute parrots and dog grooming videos though
But muh POSIX
