Just do an infinite loop

exec_once = zsh -c 'while true; do waybar; done'

If you are on endeavour, I don't think there's much point jumping to plain Arch if you are all setup and comfortable. I say this as a pure Arch user πŸ˜› Not much will change for you, you'll just be pissing away a day to setup everything you've already setup on endeavour again.

Nah, I'd rather put together my own PKGBUILD on Arch, so I have an mostly repeatable build for a package that doesn't exist in repos. Bonus, I can share that if I wish and make others life easier.

Vim or emacs? I mean I know they were created a long time ago, but they are both pretty good pieces of software, both highly configurable. I don't understand people aversion to them, rather than having the false belief that they are too complicated? When in reality they just aren't intuitive in terms of modern stuff. But they aren't difficult, just different.

I am an Arch user and I still don't get it either. When Arch borks something it's rarely catastrophic. At worst it's throw in the live USB, mount your drive and fiddle. And if you are going in as an Arch user, fiddling is something you sign up for.

Well glad you got it sorted.

Funny. The one time I installed it, I just stuck it on a usb, booted from it, started the installer, next, next, done.

I really didn't have much of a different experience between installing pop os Vs Ubuntu.

I guess some weird hardware thing that Pop OS doesn't provide for?

Doesn't Mint make installing Nvidia drivers pretty simple?

Try running a memtest, if it's not voltages it could be a faulty ram stick. I've had it where data gets written, but what is read is garbage, corrupted some pretty important files on my system when I ran an update and it used that faulty section for it's buffer.

Minikube is excellent for that already.

Linux is a full time and never ending experience, the rabbit hole you want/will dig deeper in hope to find a white rabbit !

While Linux can certainly be such an experience, it doesn't have to be at all.

If you have a defined use case for your system, and there's Linix software to support that, it often just install something like Linux Mint, install the software you need from the repos, and wahoo, you have a computer to do what you need and you just use it.

Which, for most people, is how they use their computer anyway, a few bits of software they just use to do what they need to do, no need to tinker, problems unlikely to arise.

But these people are the type that don't care, they'll use what comes with the computer they bought, and just be happy, and thus will likely never try Linux.

For those of us who like to stay in the know and on the bleeding edge, and tinkering and understanding, then it's a full time thing. But we're such a small minority.
