It is, you’re correct. Testing. Not unstable. It’s sitting in the drawer the last couple weeks anyway and likely will a while
My mind is fried these days. Between events and construction, I basically just work, or I’m home thinking about work. Linux in general is in the back burner of life for a while.
Work, stress, drink.
Yes. One day I watched Linus Sebastian’s Youtube (Linus Tech Tips) very funny (I think) only because he intended to install Steam and he destroyed Pop_OS
So, it’s a sad day to say this is my last update for the old Dell. By next weekend it’ll be Windows 10 and posted for sale onto Offerup.
I picked this up back in 2017. It was already 2 years old and neglected by the kid who sold it to me. He said his parents had bought him a Macbook and it wasn’t getting used anymore.
This is the first laptop I ever tried Manjaro on. This is the first computer I had ever successfully installed Arch on. This was the first computer I have ever successfully replaced a DE on. And this is the first computer I have ever managed to have any distro (Arch) installed on for 2+ consecutive years. After 25 months and 12 days . . . it’s coming to an end.
Godspeed old girl. It’s very unlikely the next owner will treat you as well as I have. You’ll surf porn and facebook, and probably get throw in a corner to die after some kid draws on you with crayons and spills coolaid on your motherboard.
What did you install on the Lenovo? Desktop?
Edit: Did you get the ram installed?
I’m currently using Fedora on it. Ram is installed.
Why Fedora? Just trying it out for something different?
Some of us haven’t gotten the chance yet to watch the Canadian GP, how dare you spoil the race! 
I was on Pop and EOS yesterday. Fedora today. I won’t go thru the Arch install until I get the new m.2 drive. So I figured I’d try out a few other distros again before the final install.
Are you putting a bigger m.2 drive or faster or additional?
It came with a 1tb and I added a 256gb already. I’ll probably get a 2tb with the money from the Dell - or most of the money. It has space for 2 total gen 3 and I believe up to 4tb each. I don’t have the money for 2 4tb though, that’s more than the computer cost hahaha. But 2tb are ~ $200. That’s not so bad.
Get on it dude. f1full.com
I normally watch it live on my laptop, but I was out most of the day running errands. I’m a fool and thought it started at 4pm not 2pm, so when I came back I missed it all…I don’t usually mixed up my F1 times, but alas I am only human. On a completely unrelated note, Fragments just notified me something finished, perhaps I better go and see what it is 
Hi all, i have arch running on my second system it has already been up for lets say 3 years now, without any issue so is it stable yeah but you can better not be installing many packages from the aur then it will break faster.
If you’re maintaining your system into the 3 year point, AUR packages should be no more dangerous to your computer than the repos. . . . At least from a breakage stand point. With extensions installed and programs, I was probably in the realm of like 25 ish AUR packages.
The only one that almost took me out was that damn fish. Nothing but bash for me anymore.
Alas I will admit, if you really really want to have stability, sticking to official repos will absolutely make it easier to maintain.
Yeah thats also very true, the only thing i have is sometimes the keyring goes a bit crazy but that is a easy fix.
That’s not an AUR thing though?
Nope it is not an AUR thing.
Some replaces components thats from the aur…sometimes you come in issues lol if you not rebuild lol
I haven’t found that any of the AUR packages that i have used break anything.
Why bother with W10? Just slap it Mint or whatever, who knows perhaps they will love it…
optimus-manager from the AUR would like a word with you then 
tl;dr, whenever a major python update is released, if optimus-manager is not updated or re-built by the user to support it, then during a system restart, your system will become unbootable until you fix the issue. I avoided this issue myself, but the earlier adopters were not so lucky. Thankfully the fix was simple and avoidable once you know what to look out for with updates. If you don’t use optimus-manager, than this is a non-issue, but for myself I’ve migrated to envycontrol in the hopes that I can avoid this issue for the next major python update.
