Distrobox is probably what you’re looking for.

They are still considered essential in German schools.

Isn’t yay just a wrapper for pacman?

Full desktop environment with decent window tiling.

I love the long german shortcut names. ALTERNATIVER WEB-BROWSER MOZILLA! DEBIAN-ANWENDERHANDBUCH! ADMINISTRATIONS PASSWORT EINSTELLEN!

Jesus, UI design was terrible back then. I’m not talking about technical limitations, I don’t need fancy transparency effects or something like that, but I’m sure that you could come up with something much better using the old UI libraries as long as you follow modern design principles.

That doesn’t mean anything. I once had an issue where every few hours, a random application would crash on Arch Linux, but not on e.g. Debian or Windows. But this wasn’t an Arch issue per se, but was instead related to an UEFI overclock setting (which defaulted to on). After turning it off, everything worked fine.

So while it seemed like an Arch issue, it was actually hardware/overclock related, it’s just that the other OS wouldn’t run into the trigger for the crash.

Isn’t this what Flatpaks are doing?

While this is good advice in general, it doesn’t apply as much in OPs use case since he’s using an immutable distro.

Don’t feed the troll…

From the Hyprland wiki:

A special workspace is what is called a “scratchpad” in some other places. A workspace that you can toggle on/off on any monitor.

Since GNOME definitely doesn’t support workspaces per monitor (and I haven’t seen an extension that does), I don’t think this is possible.

Because there is only one alternative (Xorg/X11), and it’s pretty outdated and not really maintained anymore.

For now it’s probably still fine, but in a couple of years everything will probably use Wayland.

That’s what I tried, it never showed up, even though the repo was enabled. Had to install it via terminal.

Why won’t they just use Calamares?

it doesn’t even host it’s own repos

Yes, and that’s a good thing, otherwise it would be like Manjaro.

EndeavourOS is perfect if you already know your way around a Linux system but don’t want to spend the time and effort to setup Arch.

How did I not recognize the font I’ve been using for years, lol. Guess it just looks even better on a HiDPI display.

What’s the font?

I think 535 is the only option for Wayland gaming right now, everything else is a flickery mess.

AFAIK we still need this merge request here for it to actually affect 99% of games, because they all run with Xwayland, right? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967

Just take a look at the video on the main page, it demonstrates it pretty well: https://hyprland.org/
