Installed #Arch with #Gnome 40 over the weekend, and I must say, since the last time I tried using Gnome (I think around the 3.36 release), it's now definitely much more responsive, even when running the #Orca #ScreenReader. #Accessibility still isn't perfect (I'm looking at you, Settings app sidebar), but this is a huge improvement, and I think I'll be sticking with Gnome for a while.
@TheFake_VIP thanks for the systemd-homed tip, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. And yeah, btrfs on root is amazing and #justworks.
@TheFake_VIP I’d like to have my #Exherbo and something like Ubuntu or Mint alongside each other so that for everyday use and geek stuff I can use Exherbo, and when I want to play Steam games or am struggling with something on Exherbo I can just switch to the “just works” system that every linux software supports. The problem is that using the same homedir introduces a bunch of problems with synchronising user IDs etc. Homed solves that.
Now if only btrfs driver for windows was production ready, I’d have all three systems for dealing with stubborn applications able to use the same filesystem to store shared stuff. Sadly, after it massacred my main data storage partition about a year ago I’m not ready to trust it.
@Amikke could bedrocklinux, to have exherbo and ubuntu/mint/etc more snug. ;) could be worth investigating. :)
@Amikke Out of interest, what exactly are you using homed for? I'm just using a pretty traditional setup (no encryption) with each home directory getting it's own btrfs subvolume.
