Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.
For some reason, the best word to describe it in my mind is “fun”. Just fun to learn and play with, fun to install, fun to configure and customize, and fun to daily drive. Definitely not fun when a random package update breaks your system (looking at you grub), but that hardly ever happens anymore provided you don’t enable the testing repo.
Also pacman is the fastest package manager I’ve ever used.
I just lost a raid 0 array for what seems like no reason, all I even had to do was reformat and both drives are working again. It’s fortunate I only use them for my steam library.
That being said I have an Ubuntu machine that’s been running 4 drives in RAID 5 for like 5 years so… Your mileage may vary?
Somehow mkinitcpio broke my initramfs the other day when I installed the latest microcode updates. Took me like an hour to debug the issue and boot from the fallback 😑. That’s the first time I’ve had an issue like that though. I’ve been using arch for a few years now.
Also the middle should be called Tech Centrist or Tech Social Democrat, daring to use the projects from philosophical minorities is not conservative at all.
Not extreme is rather moderate. Conservative estimate means there’s a tendency to not change what was estimated in the past. Moderate would mean that a small change would be accepted.

I hope you enabled parallel downloads, that makes it fast as fuck.

Updates go brrrrrr

Btrfs would beg to differ.
Is it really not that stable? I’m trying to switch from ext4 because of the built-in compression

I will stick to static partitions, I am aware btrfs and RAID don’t mix well
I’ve been using it with Ubuntu and Arch with no issues for a couple of years, so …?
Have you heard of our lord and saviour nixOS?

There is another version with two more tiers
Please tell me there aren’t two more tiers to the right of paranoid. The last tier would just be “homemade pencils only.”
There’s one either side!
Edit: also, I’m at “Newborn Paranoid” and definitely feeling the pull towards tech paranoid. Writing this on Librewolf in Arch (btw) lol.
The only things I even recognize from those two are fdroid and lynx.
Most of the others were Emacs related. I’m sure someone on here is even using the new emacs client lem to read this comment.
I definitely fall in newborn paranoid too
Its Emacs all the way down

Conservative means “not extreme”
E.g. conservative estimates
Words can have multiple meanings - it might be best to find one that doesn’t have the same baggage that conservative has, such as “risk-averse”

I use arch as my main disto with Firefox but use tails and tor for “purchases”
