  • You probably shouldn’t be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

    I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are “arch but easy” but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn’t always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it’s not worth it.

    If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it’s hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc… and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.





















  • Either a radeon rx7600 or a 4060. The lowest tier gpu’s are usually the most power efficient. I’m sure you would see some performance gains as well but probably not an insane amount. But thats just the brand new gpus. You could get maybe a 6700xt which would have more vram than a 7600 for a bit more money.

    To me it sounds like the problem lies with the titan x more than anything. Has it always had thermal issues? Could be a power supply issue or any number of things. I had a 2060 and my system was freezing for extended periods of times and eventually crashing my system and I assumed it was due to the summer heat. But I eventually replaced my psu and boom. No more issues.
