I don't use Arch at all but isn't EOS using Calamares? You click a few times, selecting language, timezone and click install, then go make a coffee while it installs. Difficult to be way faster than that. You can save maybe 30sec by not having any options.

I remember those days. On disk 22: Bzzz-bzzz Bzzz-bzzz Bzzz-bzzz Bzzz-bzzz Bzzz-bzzz Bzzz-bzzz CRC-ERROR

I can still hear it.

I've been using Haruna for a while instead of VLC because it works with Wayland. Menus can be hidden, lots of options: configurable hotkeys, VAAPI enabled, allow multiple instances, etc. It remembers position in last video when reopened, overall it's very nice.

I used dd-wrt for a few years, but I realized I didn't need it as my new router have the functionality I want. I also realized my router had much better throughput with the stock firmware.

A year-ish, Plasma, Intel iGPU for Desktop and Nvidia offload for Steam. It's great.

Yeah, hybrid graphics is a blessing. I have an Intel iGPU for Wayland/VA-API and Nvidia offload for Steam and it's great.

Recommendation is simply to create a new user account.

A few decades ago I got a letter (snail-mail even) that my domain was expiring soon and asking if I wanted to continue. I signed into the link given and paid a small amount, only to realize I hadn't even registered my domain with that registrar in the first place. I locked my domain to prevent a transfer, but obviously the money were lost.

150Mbps advertised, 170Mbps in reality. 15Mbps up @CAD50/mo.

I had 1Gbps before but I monitored my usage: playing MMOs (<1Mbps, latency is important not bandwidth), watching Netflix (<10Mbps in HD, ~25Mbps if 4K) and minor stuff like Skype. iOS or Linux SW updates run in the background anyway and many servers were limited in their end. Only things that could very rarely max it out were bittorrent which I usually am not in any hurry with anyway, my BT machine runs 24/7. Most of the time my connection was almost idle.

So I downgraded and saved money for more important things. My building is getting a second fiber provider soon but it still starts at CAD70 for 500Mbps, so I'll pass.

I'm surprised you didn't face issues like dead battery or damaged tires.
