.7z seems to be good and I do recommend it to people, saying that it’s better than regular zip. Have recently started using opus n webm files more.

I’ve also heard about jxl recently. Would be very nice to see it become popular, as it could reduce the size of my memes n screenshots folders. Faster webpage loading too.

Are there any other file formats that’ll be useful to people, but isn’t getting enough attention?

In the case of apps, Trebleshot seems to be good for android file sharing. I like it’s web sharing option having an upload form. Helps me where I don’t have to ask others to install an app to send me a file locally. Not sure about it’s encryption n security aspects, but I only have used it for local file sharing.

And what about other stuff similar to that, other than file formats or apps?

Recently have started exercising my neck. Not neck bridges and loaded things tho. Only safe n simple movements. Seems to be good, especially after using a monitor for some time. I think it’s not much talked about, maybe because of the fear that people will overdo it?

      It’s as easy as you make it, honestly. If you have patience to read the wiki before trying different things then it’s for you, especially if you want a lean, clean system with only the stuff you choose and want in it, and the latest versions of those things.

      You can install GNOME or KDE and be done forever, or you could be like me, continuously tweaking my custom UI written in eww widgets, constantly optimizing my scripts, my key bindings… Experimenting with different window managers…

      I make it neverending because I choose to, not because it’s Arch.

      I hope you join the family some day. We’re enjoying ourselves.

        Isn’t Arch a rolling release model? Would not be there be issues in maintenance?

        The Arch wiki is very cool. It’s useful for learning about things and troubleshooting.

          The Arch wiki is my god. ❤️

          And yes, it’s a rolling release model. I’ve not had issues with maintenance. I just install updates and go on with life. Sometimes the news page will have some notes about manual intervention that needs to happen but they are few and far between. Sometimes things that don’t even apply to me due to not having the packages installed that have breaking changes.

          I have two small kids and a full time job, I don’t stress over maintenance one bit. I use it at work and at home, for leisure and gaming, as well as work from home and productivity, streaming, what have you. Just a normal OS, the only difference is the installation procedure, mostly. Now there’s even a script that installs it for you, if your setup isn’t too complicated.
