  • I don’t think I’m interested in an NVIDIA Shield since if I like the idea of running any Linux app in case I want to use it for another purpose in the future.

    An RPi could be a choice. I forgot that the 5s have hardware decoding. Assuming the 4GB model is suitable, then $60 + cost of a case isn’t too bad. I assume the hardware decoding could keep up with 4k60?

    As others have said, use ntfs and just install ntfs-3g

    which i use mostly for storing games

    If you are trying to put your Steam games and share them between Windows and Linux, be prepared for a headache. I did this for a short period of time, and it worked OK, but tbh it really doesn’t seem worth it. You have to jump through some hoops to get Linux Steam to play nicely with NTFS, and your Linux Steam will fight your Windows Steam every time you switch between using one or the other. Putting my Proton/Linux games on my ext4 partition, a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. This might work better if you share the drive but have separate steam library folders for each OS, but at that point you might as well just have two separate partitions.


  • That really depends on your definition of “sane defaults.” Even a lot of the computer science professionals I work with wouldn’t consider Arch Linux defaults as sane. I picture sane defaults to include a lot more basic functionality that Arch doesn’t have out of box (automatic suspend, desktop environment, lock screen, etc.).

    I use Arch for the exact same reason you do though. Once you get past the tedious stuff like setting up your networking stack, setting up idle suspend, etc. it’s nice to choose whatever WM/DE you want and customize it how you want.
