Currently installing with Qubes on a spare hard drive. I'm hoping that, along with its virtualization thing being secure, it actually makes for a decent Linux gaming experience thanks to a combo of low-level windows VM + discrete GPU passthrough while the OS keeps using the integrated graphics. But, we'll see. I'm setting it up on a spare 5400 RPM hard drive, so setup is slow.
So, 5400 RPM drive is out. I'm just gonna wipe my SSD and put it on there because, in my own words, if I don't like it, "Arch isn't *that* hard to install."
And, to clarify, Arch isn't a trivial install. If you can't do it, there's nothing wrong with that. Just because I helped a friend who was uncomfortable with the command line get a working Arch system doesn't mean everyone can just install it. I've done this many times. I'm used to it by now. So when I say "it's not that hard to install," I mean that it's not that hard *for me*.
Hello from Qubes! I've gotten it installed, now I need to do a lot of setup. Ah, well.
(I can't believe I honestly uttered the words "Well, Arch isn't that hard to install.")
