Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.
It feels like there needs to be a category in between conservative and paranoid. I'm probably 90% of the way over to tech paranoid but using Tor Browser and Tails is a little much.
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.
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've been using it with Ubuntu and Arch with no issues for a couple of years, so ...?
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?
I will stick to static partitions, I am aware btrfs and RAID don't mix well
