Oh I’m thinking Kali

btw

It's been many moons since I ran arch. Nice.

It's also freezing on me, I am borked, have to go back to windows looks like

Oof. Honestly I keep thinking about going back to Windows just so I can play Overwatch. πŸ₯Ή It's been 11 months since I've been on Linux this time. I usually switch every couple of years or so.

Just add a drive. Linux daily driver or boot into windows gaming setup

I used to dual boot back in the day.

I can’t give up my Stardew Valley and Fallout

Adding another drive won't prevent it from freezing every 30 minutes when I use it

Not using Arch will

#debianforever

why debian over Ubuntu? always wondered this.

...but then I took an arrow to the knee...😐

You can play it on linux also https://lutris.net/games/overwatch-2/

Memtest? Do you have flaky ram?

It's Nvidia drivers 100%

My EVGA 3070 works great with the OEM drivers. Are you using those or the open source ones?

I tried all of them, tries different display managers, different distros, nothing works :/

Roll back the nvidia driver to previous version?

Based on? Can you pull the card and use onboard graphics to test?

Try Pop Os!

In my opinion, the pop os is the best for people who want to switch to linux

I mean, pop os is better than windows. don't do it man. don't go back to windows.

I daily drive PopOs now but put another SSD in with windows on it

ahh gotcha. continue on your way, sir.

Why are you running Windows? I gave up on it once Steam got good at running games on Linux.

for me the greatest rolling release - pacman is insane!!! πŸ”₯

You might want to give NixOS a try. I used to run Arch for the Sovran Pro, but did the switch to slowly learn NixOS and now I won't go back.

Why do you prefer nix over guix?

Good question. NixOS has about 50,000 more packages and has Nix Bitcoin https://nixbitcoin.org , which comes already installed and setup on Sovran_SystemsOS https://sovransystems.com

The first step is making sure everyone knows about it, so younare already on the right track. The second step is posting a screenshot of `neofetch` as proof!

Crossposting this to /n/archlinux

Arch users are like Vegans. They will for sure tell you about it.

We have all been there.

you ever met someone who runs nixos though? it's worse than arch users.

Sadly gpu not working on this either

Why u need gpu lmao

Jk, just pacman -Syu nvidia, reboot. If that does not work, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nvidia

Its my day 3396 on Arch. Phantastic system. Survived 3 hardware changes.

Nix better

NixOS beats the pants off of Arch, Gentoo, etc. rolling release, source built distros.

Completely flexible and reproducible.
