    If you really care about high performance on an SSD, use f2fs. This filesystem was made for SSDs specifically. Though ext4 and xfs are also really solid and shouldn’t be that much slower. But if you do care about squeezing out every bit out of performance, f2fs is definitely worth trying.

    It’s a bit more experimental, yet I’ve been daily driving it for maybe a year or so at this point and it never caused trouble once, even with cutting edge mount options.









  • I’ve now been daily driving Arch for ~1 year or so. I mean, it works. I’ve only re-installed it once when I bought a new nvme drive. But except that. I’ve kinda gotten used to everything. Nix seems so cool. Everything in a config file, like what? 80k packages in the repo? But Arch is just so comfy, I know how pacman works, everything is up and running perfectly. I’ve installed CachyOS’s x86-64-v3 repos for max performance. My system just works.


  • I forgot to say, that you can also work around this by pressing ctrl + alt + f1 during shutdown. (so switching to TTY 1) For whatever reason, this causes SDDM to work normally, stop in peace and allows systemd to shut the rest of the system down like it’s supposed to. Without it having to go kill the process.



  • Well, sure this. SDDM is basically KDE’s display manager and it’s good that another “plasma component” (it isn’t a KDE project yet, but it will soon be taken over from what I know) is moving over to Wayland. This also fixes a very annoying bug in which Plasma (under Wayland) refuses to shut down and it would take 1.5 minutes to for your system to shut down. 1.5 minutes is the time limit at which systemd automatically kills the process, because SDDM can’t die in peace.
