#42Please, stop using heavy images: bloated-kde.png is 3.2Mb... The image is still loading in the moment of writing... Same note for the website logo: render-small.gif is 4Mb. Still loading...
Even applying better PNG compression reduces them to less than a third of the size. Beyond that you can consider if the full resolution and quality is actually critical to the article.

#43Fun stuff. Reminds me of one former coworker, which didn't like me introducing FreeBSD. So he started installing all ports packages.. only to say the following morning: Look it's broken! ( disk was obviously full and this plot was irrational to people with some common sense ).
"Nice" former coworker...hope you found your way to freebsd anyway :)
Re: Installing Every Arch Package
#44I didn't really understand the fun of using Arch until I watched a few episodes of the "monthly Arch install" on YouTube. It is very useful seeing how the "pros" do things, which looks substantially easier than when I try to install Arch and end up with a mess only slightly better than in this article ;) Edit: the channels name is "EF - Linux made simple".
Hey thank you for this discovery.
After every arch-install i think to myself i should probably automate this, and i only go as far as logging all the commands typed (mostly doing '# history > log.sh' and adding a few comments) and said file is is forgotten or i am trying something different for the next install (like desperately trying to make a CB3-131 Chromebook work nicely)
Here are the links for the lazy

Applying a bare amount of image optimisation:
original 3_389_491 B
pngout 2_739_324 B
quantised 256 colours+pngout 636_135 B
webp lossless 2_210_112 B
webp default settings (lossy) 210_452 BRe: Installing Every Arch Package
#46IIRC archlinux is pretty conservative at enabling services by default after installing, so installing every package should not take too much system resource aside from disk space. I’m curious about doing the same thing in Ubuntu
Arch won't auto enable systemd services, but that doesn't mean e.g. Plasma won't load all installed plugins.

#47It was a joy to read. Also, what theme is this? Looks pretty clean
The theme is Gokarna. Its a hugo theme (https://github.com/526avijitgupta/gokarna)
Thanks for the kind words, I am the author of this theme :)

I had a script that set up my Arch environment. And then I switched up some of my software for alternatives, and changed a lot of my configurations. Now I'm too lazy.
