Arch is the project car of Linux distros, it's a piece of shit that doesn't work when you get it but you have fun fixing it up to a point where it's actually usable, and random things break all the time for no apparent reason
@diamaterialista tbh the reason i use arch is that random things break way less often than any other OS or distro i've tried to use
@morganastra just recently fixed "makes weird crackling noise through the speakers at login", need to make the microphone actually work sometime soon :p
@morganastra tbh I'm super bothered that the workaround for that was blacklisting a kernel module, I kinda wanna learn about driver programming and try to fix it somehow and submit it to the Linux kernel maintainers
@diamaterialista huh, I'm surprised those things don't just work these days. audio stuff used to be deeply awful but ime it's been pretty effortless for the last few years
@morganastra I think my laptop is a little weird from what I've gathered :p
@morganastra I like Arch, I just still haven't quite tamed mine lol
