Two good years of using Linux

I haven’t realized that it’s been two good years of using Linux as a full fledged OS. I have distro-hopped between Arch, Debian and Fedora, but Arch feels like home. To be honest I hate Red Hat products (I don’t exactly know why) and Debian is the good old distro which is stuck in 2022 or 2023. And Arch is blazingly fast and I like its package manager which is too good and thanks to albony mirror for the hyd node.

The Arch Experience

Arch has been my daily driver since the last two years. I have been using i3 because I don’t need to touch the mouse again. I have switched to KDE for a while but now I am daily driving i3. And I have been using alacritty with zsh but now moving to fish.

I have also been using zed for a really long time as my editor which performs better than VS Code. There are so many programs that are really good and help me a lot.

I have also started using typst as well for reports and assignments. Even though I love LaTeX, typst seems really compromising. But I am still experimenting with it.

Now that it’s been two years, I might make my homeserver reliable. Currently I host n8n, komodo, gitea and ente. I might change my private VPS provider to Hetzner soon.

I guess Arch will be my forever distro. But I am still exploring Arch as a whole distro. I might start exploring the different kernel variants.

The only issue I currently face is my laptop doesn’t support S3 sleeping state. I might start hacking into the issue to support S3. Someone on the internet suggested that we need to make changes to the dsdt but I should research more about it.
