I know my way around a command line. I work in IT, but when it comes to my personal fun time more often than not I’m quite lazy. I use windows a lot because just plugging in anything or installing any game and it just working is great.
But support for windows 10 is ending and I should probably switch sonner rather than later, so I’m wondering if Arch would be a good pick for me? For reference, I mostly game and do Godot stuff in my free time.
The updating issue is something i have to deal with too, its just that the good mirrors constantly change. there’s several tools to automatically update pacman’s mirrorlist, but for some reason i don’t really like any of them ( reflector, rankmirrors/ratemirrors idk, others…)
but with an updated mirrorlist and a pacman config that allows like 5+ parallel downloads (dont ask me why thats not the default, or at least wasnt when i installed) updating is decently fast. until you start using certain packages from the AUR.
Thanks. I should really look into automatically updating the mirrorlist. I’ll start with reflector and the others you mentioned.
