<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I just did the first half of an Arch install last night. Aside from a derp where i typeo'd the main volume mount and had to restart and remount it it went very smoothly on an Alienware 15R4 with i9 and 1080. I still need to finish with installing WLAN and the rest.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 4, 2019 at 10:15 PM Kevin Fries <<a href="mailto:kevin@fries-biro.com">kevin@fries-biro.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">My main working / development laptop is a HP Pavilion with an I5 that I got cheap at CostCo.

I simply can't switch to another DE now under ubuntu, and I hate what ubuntu did to gnome3. Any other DE but ubuntu's simply crashes and dumps me back to login. No idea why, and oddly I can't find much about it from others. It was merely impetus to evacuate ubuntu further, but like crack I can't seem to break free.<div><br></div><div>I ran 16.04 before on my xps15. Old kernels worked ok with bumblebee, but sucked at everything else, including my dell thunderbolt/usb3 dock. I'd get random network timeouts, the usb bus would just sorta die randomly. Lovely feature, really.</div><div><br></div><div>Upgrading it fixed TB3, but fubar'd bumblebee/gpu interaction, and powertop just sorta said I was causing planetary doom with consumption all the time. It worked, but used power like crazy. I'd be lucky to get an hour of batter life, mostly due to the stupid intel vs. nvidia vs. bumblebee issues on it. Stable network and function vs. heat - I'll take it. I was hoping moving to arch they might have fixed some of this stupidity ubuntu could obviously never figure out.</div><div><br></div><div>Why do I hate 18.04? Other than above gpu issues, I upgrade to find my right click on the touchpad not working, a distinct lack of a minimize button on my windows, and various things that simply didn't work out of box I needed to find workarounds for. Upgrading out of sheer morbid curiosity to 18.10 didn't fix anything, and in fact made most worse. I just hate ubuntu now, and would really like to never deal with it again.</div><div><br></div><div>I need to make a decent arch linux vm image I can clone and reuse, as ubuntu is even more annoying with failed upgrades as a server.
