Dual booting is a nightmare, you’ll need a specially modified kernel, and getting the pen to work right can be tricky.
Once you’ve finally got the kinks worked out it’s pretty cool, but that might take longer than you’d like.
I was using a surface pro 7, for what it’s worth.
Perhaps I should have added that I use arch myself. All meant in good humor, and I’m sorry if I offended!
I don’t think it’s the distro. Arch users are just always angry about everything whether it works or not.
Nothing, just that ‘I use arch’ is a meme so overused that its cliche. Arch and plasma are great, hence why I use them
Vanilla Arch w/ KDE plasma (I know)
It was a bit of a struggle at first but that’s what I signed up for. Very happy with the finished result.
I would kill for this. Trying to get logseq, or any other markdown editor to play nice with an existing obsidian vault is a nightmare. And none of them are nearly as feature complete or expandable.
Flameshot pretty much already does this, though perhaps not as elegantly
It’s good. The steam deck’s version of steamOS is arch based, so that should tell you a lot about its capabilities.
I’d recommend choosing an Arch-based distro like Endeavour or Garuda so you don’t have to go through the rigmarole of installing vanilla Arch.
Just wait for Windows 10’s service life to run out. That’s when I’m switching full time

It’s not engineering either. Or art. It’s only barely writing, in an overly literal sense.
In overly simple terms
It’s a terminal app on your desktop, e.g. alacritty, konsole, kitty, terminator, urxvt, etc.
As opposed to the terminal that your computer would boot into it you didn’t have a desktop environment installed.
Alacritty
No particular reason why. It’s fast, it works, and I’ve already got it configured how I like it.
I’ve used kitty and a couple others. It really doesn’t make much difference to me tbh.
I’d be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users
Half a terabyte of read-only memory would be pretty useless anyway
Following any number of walkthroughs, like on YouTube for instance. Try to find a relatively recent one if you’re taking that path. Or you could just use an Arch-based OS with an installer. I like Endeavor, it’s pretty close to a basic Arch install with a DE pre setup for you.
Either way just don’t ask for help on the Arch user forums if something doesn’t work, unless you want to be swiftly RTFMed.
It’ll be a shame if I have to ditch YouTube. There’s only 2 or 3 channels I would even consider paying for and they don’t have Patreon or anything. I’m less than interested in giving Google a cut.
You are not the customer. You are the product.
