My laptop has two drives.
I want a daily drive with a distro of my choosing but I wanna use the smaller nvme for something interesting.
Looking for recommendations.

Phantasm (phnt@fluffytail.org)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Jun-2024 06:17:34 JST Phantasm @kirby @raccoon @maija The installer is apparently very easy to use to the point that it kinda worries me some users might have installed Arch, but have no idea how to fix it when it eventually breaks months down the line.

Phantasm (phnt@fluffytail.org)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Jun-2024 06:23:37 JST Phantasm @kirby @raccoon @maija I would use it, if I needed something installed quick. It's completely fine for the usual setups and even for some weirder ones with encryption. It would probably break on my weird setup with EFI being in a completely separate mountpoint and GRUB decrypting a fully encrypted BTRFS partition with zero config, but this is an edge case nobody sane would do (I had to).

Pleroma-tan (kirby@lab.nyanide.com)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Jun-2024 06:38:10 JST Pleroma-tan @maija @phnt @raccoon in particular they deprecated some thing a bunch of source games used and broke *everything*, that's what made me hate arch so much the people behind it make decisions impulsively.
