  • Well, it is. Is so stable that many of Arch users install Arch once and don’t have to format the computer again in years.

    Of course you can’t say that Arch is as stable as Debian, cause it’s not. But it’s totally unfair compare these distros, cause the use cases are completely different.

    Don’t use a ruler to measure how loud a sound is.


  • I called it “stable enough”. For a home user, it’s stable enough. It’s a myth that Arch will break every update or it is unstable. Arch is as unstable or stable as you make it be.

    You also can’t setup automatic updates safely

    That’s partially true. If you’re trying to run a server, yeah, don’t set any automatic update. If you’re home user, you may do it and you’ll be fine, but be aware of your system.






  • Are the detectors part for real or were you just kidding? 😲

    You were probably trying to format it nice, but I’ve only read this phrasing from AI.

    Yes, I was, because I like to put my text well formated… I feel pain when I have to read bad formated texts, so I try to be as clean as possible

    But thanks for the answer, the home folder would probably be best. I don’t want to think about it after setting it up. All my downloads and docs are there. I also feel like the whole filesystem would take forever for me to unlock/boot.

    For home folder I think there is a better alternative, like systemd-homed or something like that

    Encrypting and decrypting are complex operations that requires a lot from the hardware. The resources needed to encrypt and decrypt is proportionally correlated with the amount of files you’re encrypting and decrypting.

    That said, there are some alternatives

    1. Encrypt the whole filesystem
    2. Encrypt only your home folder
    3. Encrypt only the files you wanna

    There is an app, Vaults, that allows you to create vaults to easily encrypt and decrypt folders. Take a look on this app


  • It depends on your goals with linux.

    If your goals are on devops, you may find a good idea learn about docker, ansible and other tools to make your life easier. If you’re a home user, maybe it’s a good idea try flatpaks, for example. And there is much more, but you need to define your goals.
