I'm on a project where we original had three devs, but two of them did exactly what is depicted in this image, so now there's only me. There's a proper god damn mountain of tech debt that keeps growing. At this point it'd take me probably a solid couple of months to sort it out, but of course the customer doesn't want to pay for anything, because "what's the problem, it's still running". All I can really do is glance at it every now and then, like that gif with richard ayoade and the fire from IT crowd. It's a pretty big and widely used system too, so it's gonna be a real biblical clusterfuck when it finally shits the bed.

Alacritty because I like how it handles bitmap fonts and I need bitmap fonts in my life.

Mint is cool, linux is cool, and you are cool too. Enjoy

It does yeah, but not for applications running in XWayland. For example, I'm running a secondary 4k monitor with 1.5x scaling so it matches the other 1440p monitor. For native wayland applications, everything works just fine, but running an XWayland application on the 4k monitor will make it render at 1440p and become a blurry nasty mess. In KDE it will render in proper 4k (as if it was native a Wayland window), because they've somehow worked around that issue.

KDE's VRR and XWayland fractional scaling implementations are pretty dope. Wlroots pls

I love arch and I'm incredibly biased, but here goes. I have used Arch exclusively for the past n years. All of the things you've mentioned will work great. The AUR absolutely rules. It's rather similiar to Void in the sense that it's a completely blank slate, so it's going to be as unique an experience as you make it.

Arch is really stable and reliable as long as you don't break it, really. Out of the handful of times I've fucked up my install, all of them have been my own fault. Fortunately Arch is (relatively) easy to fix: keep a live USB on hand and chroot into your physical drive with arch-chroot and unfuck whatever needs unfucking. I haven't ever had to completely start over from scratch a single time. It's a learning experience!

Go for it, I say. Try it in a VM beforehand if you gotta.
