  • When I first started out with Linux, I went full ricemode with Arch. For a while I tried running without X, using tmux heavily and browsing with lynx, only starting a specific X server for games.

    You can definitely do it, but especially web browsing is not really feasible. There are tons of curses-like applications like mutt and irssi that work really well, but alas, I ended up going back to i3.

    Still heavily riced, though, using Vim hotkeys wherever possible. For browsing, qutebrowser is fucking sweet!

















  • Ah lol totally missed what you meant. Yeah I used Arch since 2010, so I went through the big ones like switching to systemd, moving to /usr/bin, etc.

    Never had any issues that couldn’t be easily repaired from an archiso, and you learn from them every time!

    Also there are tools to warn you when updating after a news article has been posted, but I enjoy living on the edge.
