Those are called duopolies (yes it's a very common thing)

This is the way

I'm a little perplexed by this I have a bash script that fixes this (I have this laptop) I never needed to compile a kernel or follow all these steps. Ran the script once and it just works, across all updates no issues yet...

Update: Realised this is for the 7i 10th gen, I have 9i 9th gen (nevermind my ramblings)

I don't think the people in power care for those sort of miners

You always could it's just gonna be more reliable and performant now and you want have to fiddle around in fstab file with a hundred obscure parameters for the drive

64 bit architecture can emulate / run 32 bit processes but the reverse doesnt work.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and play the devil's advocate. Edge actually makes a lot of optimisations and improvements that are merged into upstream chrome. While Microsoft is the shady corp that is forcing the ai garbage and data collection, the Devs are actually very competent.

Edge has one huge benefit which causes me to use it across Windows, Linux and even android and that is extension support on all even mobile. No other chrome based android browser has mobile extensions and a competent or seamless sync both figured out. I like being able to check something on my phone and seamlessly pick it up on any other device.

I like Vivaldi's workflow but they have yet to add mobile extensions.

Highly recommend this for you OP. This would be the easiest course of action. Do you have to use Konsole, yes but for a few commands and once done you can do everything you need via GUI and not have to touch shell again for daily operations.

Catchy have a very powerful script that attaches all their pacman.conf (list of places where arch will look for it's software)

Here's a link to the section Adding CachyOS to existing Arch Install

Once that's done you only need one more command

sudo pacman -Syu octopi

Octopi will let you manage all your software and kernel updates without having to touch terminal or having to use flatpaks.

I would recommend packages:

• cachyos-hooks
• linux-cachyos
• linux-cachyos-header
• cachyos-kernel-manager
• proton-cachyos
• wine-cachyos
• cachyos-gaming-meta

This will have you fully set up and ready to seamlessly game on your machine without having to reinstall a OS.

She sounds Hot

Always has been

I also recommend keeping a Live boot USB at hand in case something goes wrong.

I guess KDE remembering your previous monitor layout after temporarily switching to built in only for laptops is still too big an ask. Related merge has work done but is indefinitely closed and shelves. What a shame.

Use Gemini (2.5) or Claude (3.7 and up). OpenAI is a shitshow

Everyone brazenly saying Flatpak is the best install package management system has stockholm syndrome.

SmartLauncher meant I had to make some changes to how I use my launcher, but in the long run it's miles better for usability. Never looking back.

Flatpak doesn't support dev device access no matter what I use flatseal and all the shabang, so bottles is useless to me for a lot of the wine applications I would like to "not emulate"

Poetic

While trump looks down and says "don't take it out of your mouth again"

Planned ploy

Wayland, Super+P always just bring up every option except second screen above built in display. Had to write my own bash script to more flexibly handle this instead of the native manager.
