Hello guys,...
Why do you find yourself opting for btop or htop instead of top? What advantages do these tools offer that make them superior to top in your opinion?...
I’ve been here a week ago already asking if Arch would be fine for a laptop used for university, as stability is a notable factor in that and I’m already using EndeavourOS at home, but now I’m curious about something else too - what about Arch vs NixOS?...
Hey fellas friends. Sorry to create yet another post on this topic (maybe we should have a sticky for this?)....
