As an arch user and a German heavy main, this actually feels fair. Both are capable machines but neither are going to maintain themselves, both come with an entire manual you’re expected to read, and nobody will be sympathetic to you if you don’t know the basics of what you’re doing (rotate the steel box for fucks sake).
I use btop, iotop, jnettop, and radeontop. I rarely need any individual piece of information any of them but they make for an incredible spread of blinkenlights.
Dude I’m not interested in going scorched earth on one of the most useful repositories of practical information and discussion, and I’m disturbed that you’re so zealous to do so.
No way we’re downloading the same repacks, it’s rare to see anything as small as fitgirl’s releases in my experience. Your CPU had better be ready to step up to the plate though.
I have 64GB as future proofing (ITX board, two slots, can’t address any more). Normally I probably use 8 to 10 of those doing things like gaming and hoarding internet tabs like they’re a nonrenewable resource. I actually managed to crash my machine with an out of memory condition compiling something a while back. I don’t remember what and I’m sure it doesn’t count as regular use but I installed ZRAM to prevent it from happening again.
