Haha, zypper up is a nice one, didn't know that.

Pacman gets huge bonus points though for having a config option to turn to progress bar shown during package installation into a 'pacman' (letter c) chomping from left to right :)

(done by adding ILoveCandy under the Misc options in /etc/pacman.conf)

You find Zypper a better name than Pacman?

I'm using a second hand Surface 6 Pro (bought for €300 or so incl. keyboard cover), now running Arch (with linux-surface kernel) with KDE.

Everything works great! :) Doubles as a handy little vacation laptop too, and makes me want a touchscreen on my next laptop!

Please feel free to ask ahead if you have any questions about experiences or whatnot.

Whether Siri actually stops listening or only stops responding remains an open question.

This is absolute gold. Thanks for sharing

Since you mention 'gaming' first, I'd say go for the X3D. Overclocking Zen3+ CPUs is hardly worth the effort anyway, you'll hit the point of diminishing returns real fast and hit thermal limits. Undervolting might give you better results though.

This is the best comment here.

So would you say that is unjust, seeing the massive effects and repercussions of this on society as a whole? As a father of a young girl I'm very happy to see more attention on this by news media.

Genuine interest, being an Arch user myself: why pick EndeavourOS over Arch? What does it do extra/differently?
