Yeah dude

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

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.

“Tuning” is a pretty good one really, since it’s also a car modding thing, right? (I’m not good with cars.)

Oh, shit, I never thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out
