  • I’m gonna go out on a limb and play the devil’s advocate. Edge actually makes a lot of optimisations and improvements that are merged into upstream chrome. While Microsoft is the shady corp that is forcing the ai garbage and data collection, the Devs are actually very competent.

    Edge has one huge benefit which causes me to use it across Windows, Linux and even android and that is extension support on all even mobile. No other chrome based android browser has mobile extensions and a competent or seamless sync both figured out. I like being able to check something on my phone and seamlessly pick it up on any other device.

    I like Vivaldi’s workflow but they have yet to add mobile extensions.











  • Misleading, I have a dual boot set-up with multiple UKIs that require ~300MiB each and therefore have a 4GB EFI part, there is no strict required size for a EFI partition and no it does not affect boot times. OP, If I were you, I would familiarise myself with chroot. When you resize your Linux partition to accommodate a larger boot partition (the first partition) often times partition UUIDs (unique universal identifier) have a quirk of wanting to change that then requires you to update your /etc/fstab to tell Linux where to look for all your partitions, without being able to directly boot your OS. Is it possible to grow your EFI and resize your Linux Part? Yes. Is is an easy risk free process? Absolutely not. If you prefer doing a clean instal with less manual work I would follow the resize and reinstall all approach described above.




  • Highly recommend this for you OP. This would be the easiest course of action. Do you have to use Konsole, yes but for a few commands and once done you can do everything you need via GUI and not have to touch shell again for daily operations.

    Catchy have a very powerful script that attaches all their pacman.conf (list of places where arch will look for it’s software)

    Here’s a link to the section Adding CachyOS to existing Arch Install

    Once that’s done you only need one more command

    sudo pacman -Syu octopi
    

    Octopi will let you manage all your software and kernel updates without having to touch terminal or having to use flatpaks.

    I would recommend packages:

    • cachyos-hooks
    • linux-cachyos
    • linux-cachyos-header
    • cachyos-kernel-manager
    • proton-cachyos
    • wine-cachyos
    • cachyos-gaming-meta

    This will have you fully set up and ready to seamlessly game on your machine without having to reinstall a OS.
