@PackRat
Thanks, will look into that

@GreenMartian
I have dual boot working like a dream on my ASUS, took a while but its great. Very handy to have same files available to both too (on separate partitions)

But as of tomorrow I will have a new machine, but unfortunately it comes with Win 11 on it, not win 10 (I refused to pay the extra 120 Eur for the pro edition which was the only one they rolled back to 10 as delivered).
I set up a new lappy for my mother in law that had Win 11 on it and I couldnt work out how to do it without using a microsoft account

Maybe I will roll back to Win 10 first before installing ArchLabs on it as well

I know this may well be heresy, but anyone have any thoughts on the Win 11 / win 10 point?

First boot into AL (only live session so far but feels good to be home )

I’ve just ordered a 27" monitor (2560x1440) and I don’t really know how I’ll fit it on my desk.

altman · March 18, 2023, 12:32am

Sledgehammers & crowbars makes wonders concerning fitting stuff around. lol

nwg · March 18, 2023, 12:33am

I expect so.

CachyOS.

@Peppe Looks good. What I didn’t like:

The installer (Calamares) hung at the very end. I needed to hard reset.
F.g fish preinstalled. I hate this thing. Besides: so far so good.

anon28865476 · March 18, 2023, 1:17am

Installer worked good here but had to add the Cachy icon to replace the mouse icon on the start menu for Xfce4.

nwg · March 18, 2023, 1:21am

Shit, I posted it in a wrong thread.

altman · March 18, 2023, 1:43am
