It was after doing some voodoo at the kernel level, otherwise it boots well and without errors. Those kernel panics were when I was meddling with Xubuntu and Manjaro, for they were forcing Vulkan down my computer's throat, never touching those garbage fires again.
It's just a baseline wine version of fsync. Performance improvement vs Proton we have today will be minimal.
Not the real hostname, mind you. Had to edit it out to avoid de-anonymity, but still 100% accurate.
What can anyone do with a hostname? Like if I were to tell you my server hostname is "alex" as in the Library of Alexandria, what could you do with that information?
Not much. But if your hostname was "Steve's Macbook Air", someone could make an educated guess what your name might be.
that's why all my Android phones are named as '[Woman's Name] iPhone'.
All my WiFi SSIDs are "(NSA|FBI|CBP|ICE) Surveillance Van"
If 200$ isn't obliterating your financial stability, you could make a somewhat futureproof build on that. My PC cost me under 350$ a couple of years ago. No dedicated GPU but everything else, including all the peripherals and a second drive. I went a bit heavy on RAM, storage and my monitor (the tower itself too, I suppose, but those are pretty cheap anyway), otherwise it would've been lower. Works well, will probably last me 7-8 years or more without any upgrades. Linux is still the poorfag OS.
Default hotspot names of really common router models are better. "$x Surveillance Van" is probably easy to narrow down with WiGLE.

They even have stats on the best ones at wigle.net/stats .
My advice. Give void, alpine, or Gentoo a shot if you don't want systemd.
Strictly anecdotally, I've had more luck finding working ebuilds for weird packages I wanna run than I had finding working AUR packages.
I was mostly recommending distros that are on their own. Not built around systemd specifically. Rather forks made to work with another init system. Devuan might work fine. I haven't tried it though.
Yeah. It's not going to have the same package availability as arch. Though. Ime, nothing else does, have the pure numbers arch does. Gentoo does have a few ways to search through the available packages in the overlays to help out finding what you need to use. But I'm sure some could be hard to find. Depending on what it is, just building yourself could be the easier option. If it's super obscure.
You can fix most of this by installing elogind even if you don’t actually use it as your login manager. It’s just enough systemd to get programs to stop screeching at you without actually using it as your init system.
There was an alternative eudev, but it's no longer maintained due to the amount of systemd shit added to udev that its a pain to keep up for non-glibc systems.
While you shouldn't have to have dynamic device files, I feel like udev wasn't that bad until it was deliberately sabotaged by the systemd merge.
