Does that mean it is possible to run Arch on a super, super old computer via some mounting trickery?
  • Yes, you can install on one machine, move the drive to a different machine, and it should mostly just work (unless they are different architectures and the packages aren't compatible). I've recently moved an old Arch install into a basically new computer and after changing the microcode it just works fine.

  • What's everyone's favourite Linux rescue USB?
  • I've just got Arch Linux installed on a USB drive. I set it up so it works with both UEFI and legacy BIOS boot. It works great - I can install whatever tools I need on it, I can even use it as a little portable Linux drive if I need that. I've also used it to install Arch on a number of my computers.

    The only issue is that the USB drive is pretty slow, so it's not the best experience using it

  • Here they are in their final forms
  • These look awesome! I'm curious what your favourite switches are out of the bunch? I'm also interested in a comparison between the Boba U4T vs MMD princess, if you have any thoughts to share!

  • Build Ready: A short compatibility/mistake check required please.
  • Looks great! I recently put together a similar build with the same mobo/CPU, and it works very well. Just note that I had to do some fiddling in bios options to get it to shutdown/sleep properly, but all is good now

  • Phone Recommendations?
  • I've got a ZenFone 9 which is excellent and I think fits all of your criteria. There's not many stock apps from what I remember, and they're all easily removable (which I've done, you may need to do some ADB trickery). It also is pretty small, has excellent battery life and a headphone jack.

    The only missing thing is that there's no lineageOS support just yet, but there are some other ROMs available.
