Just do an infinite loop

exec_once = zsh -c 'while true; do waybar; done'

If you are on endeavour, I don’t think there’s much point jumping to plain Arch if you are all setup and comfortable. I say this as a pure Arch user 😛 Not much will change for you, you’ll just be pissing away a day to setup everything you’ve already setup on endeavour again.

Nah, I’d rather put together my own PKGBUILD on Arch, so I have an mostly repeatable build for a package that doesn’t exist in repos. Bonus, I can share that if I wish and make others life easier.

I am an Arch user and I still don’t get it either. When Arch borks something it’s rarely catastrophic. At worst it’s throw in the live USB, mount your drive and fiddle. And if you are going in as an Arch user, fiddling is something you sign up for.

Well glad you got it sorted.

Funny. The one time I installed it, I just stuck it on a usb, booted from it, started the installer, next, next, done.

I really didn’t have much of a different experience between installing pop os Vs Ubuntu.

I guess some weird hardware thing that Pop OS doesn’t provide for?

You don’t know me in real life. But I use Arch. It started out as a way to get a more thorough understanding of the bits and pieces that make up Linux. Now that it’s all setup and configured, it all just works, and works the way I made it work. I don’t need to tinker with it much now, unless I want to. It’s probably the only Distro I’ll use from now to the end of time, because I’m quite content with it.

Considering the many millions of steam accounts. A 1% increase is nothing to sniff at.

I mean having control over everything also means you have control to not exercise control. Android as a phone OS, depending on what the phone manufacturer has changed, has pretty sane defaults. I can’t say I’ve ever seen the need to switch to iPhones. My Android phone works excellently as a phone.

While Nvidia isn’t as great on Linux as other cards. It generally works. It’s pretty much fine on Xorg, slowly getting there with Wayland. At least using Nvidia with Hyprland which wlroots based Wayland compositor worked for most cases.

I started using Linux many moons ago when the LAMP stack was common for web development. (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP). But that was only on servers. It’s only in the last couple of years I’ve switched to seriously using Linux on the Desktop. I finally got fed up of Microsoft writing software as if using their OS meant they owned my machine and they could do what they liked with it. So I’ve switched. While windows still sits on a partition due to a couple of games, I find I’m going months without needing to touch it. I suspect I’ll be rid of windows entirely in the near future.

I mean people are going to put their hot takes wherever made them think of it. Just down vote and don’t engage. Unless especially egregious then report them

Not that they have much incentive in the first place. As history has shown, developers are quite happy NOT to make Linux ports at all. The market just isn’t big enough to care.

Once upon a time Internet Explorer was a great browser. Until they successfully forced the majority to use it.

Not on Arch it doesn’t. Almost all window managers have a package somewhere. There will be a lot of configuring, but no compiling.
