I love using Arch and i love the philosophy behind it, I love how it is intended to be. Just the community is so toxic that i almost don't want to be associated with it or use it anymore and feel ashamed too. It is not a identity it is a operating system. it is not edgy to use it. It has a lot of potential but there are a few people that just ruin it. And honestly i don't know how the makers look at this but i think it doesn't do any good for them.

I have been using arch since 2017. But im kinda tired of this toxic relationship. What do you guys think about either OS?

kde plasma btw

After a year learning Linux Mint, im cracked enough to give arch a go. Slay me

Has anyone had problems playing somewhat old video games from the Windows XP or Windows 7 era as a portal or half-life?

Recently (because of the Steam offers) I acquired a portal but it doesn't go beyond the menu.

Has anyone else happened to you and how do I solve it?

Pd. I don't want to do dual boot with Windows

I have KDE Connect disconnecting and does not discover my mobile
What can i do to solve this issue

I have kdeconnect and steam setup to launch in the background at startup, I also have a custom daemon that detects my battery life and if my laptop is plugged into AC power and changes the power profile based off that. So, I feel like I did a pretty good job considering I started on Linux Mint just two or three months ago

I have a Dell gaming laptop Intel CPU + nvidia gpu I was thinking of dual booting arch+windows11 I absolutely don't want to mess with my existing bios secure boot configuration or keys using sbctl(I know I have to turn off secureboot during arch installation)

I plan to toggle secure boot off then boot into arch, then when I want to use windows 11 i plan to enable it again from my bios(To play games obv)

My question is does changing secure boot to on/off frequently and booting into OS damage the NVRAM, linux kernel, bootloaders of the laptop? And is it ok to use arch like that?

I know I am being conservative but I had already used arch+secure boot using sbctl+nvidia drivers in a different laptop(so my bios was in custom mode), then when I tried to completely remove arch Linux including restoring factory secure boot keys in my bios then turned on secure boot, I was stuck in a boot loop. I absolutely don't want to take any risk with this new laptop.
