By age 40, a Linux user stops trying to install Arch on a toaster just to prove they can.

i use arch and nixos btw

Recompiling the kernel after installing a distro was fun, but eventually leaving the stock kernel was convenient and just as good.
On my way to install arch in a brand new computer...
@npub1gfdr...7gg6 I have never installed Arch.
I am a GNU user.
