    Yeah, virtual box doesn’t work all that well from my experience. If you’re on windows I’d definitely recommend checking out VMware. VMware even has support for windows 95 and stuff.

    It’s been about five years but I’ve managed to install arch just fine on virtual box (in macos) but VMware is just a more robust polished experience and it has a free version on windows.

    Arch isn’t that bad, it’s a lot of what you have to do in Gentoo. Infact Gentoo is more manual and hands on than arch with a lot more room for error. Arch has a lot of systems service made specifically to make install and maintenance easier.

    I don’t know how long ago it was when you tried it but I’d give it another shot, it might surprise you! There’s a lot arch does to help you that most people don’t even realize.






  • I think a lot of people will have a bad day. Some will swear off PC gaming altogether and switch to console, others might look towards Linux thanks to a friend or a helpful individual online, and a small minority will understand the problem and actively avoid the companies that caused the problem.

    It probably won’t affect sales of the company involved too much sadly unless everyone point their fingers at the company in the news.


  • Thanks, I wish the same for you friend! I use arch so they’re pretty fast at fixing stuff. Yesterday they pushed an update that minimized the crashing but it’ll probably be totally fixed by today or tomorrow unless it’s a driver bug.

    I was a terrible citizen and ignored the problem instead of reporting the bug. I just wanted to get some coding done so I just clicked the restart Firefox button over and over. That minor fix did wonders though! It only crashed two more times to my recollection.
