To be fair to Motörhead, they were drinking some beer that had umalats in the name, and just thought they looked cool, so they threw them in. The band had no idea that umalats denoted a difference in pronunciation.

...a faction of the internet believing Vance actually had sectional relations...

Look ma, I'm part of a faction!

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it's just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn't unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the "ca-certificates" package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it's not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn't match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won't claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it's on the "immutable" thing that's popular right now. I've tried a few immutable distros, and they're not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it's been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I'm kinda in btrfs' corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.
