I agree and use Arch as well, but of course I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. For me, having the same distribution on both server and desktop makes it easier to maintain. I run almost everything using containers on the server and install minimal packages, minimizing my upgrade risk. I haven't had an issue yet, but if I did I have btrfs snapshots and backups to resolve.
They continue to be great on newer GPUs, although the first ~6-12 months might have some small bugs. I have really enjoyed my RX 7800 XT. It's working perfectly now, but I had an issue specific to newer GPUs where every other boot would fail (Arch Linux). It was a known issue and fixed in kernel 6.7.3 (I think) and issues like that seem to be rare.
Mostly, yes, X vs Wayland. Hyprland also has a lot more eye candy in the way of window animations for snapping, dragging, etc. I find the Hyprland config file simpler too, but that's just me.
Interesting idea. If you really break it down, the "terminal with command buttons" is similar in concept to saving each of the commands as a script and putting those scripts in a directory to act as "buttons."
I've also seen some programs such as Kopia, a backup tool, that provide a GUI with the equivalent terminal commands for what is bring done shown at the bottom.
I don't think what you're describing exists, probably because experts don't need it and beginners would prefer a full GUI.
There is Nushell, which promises more helpful error responses for the terminal, but its too early for it to be targeted at beginners in my opinion.
Thin clients! I "upgraded" from a RPi3 to an HP T630 that I got new off of eBay for $65, including power supply (and case). I was able to upgrade the M.2 storage easily. I use mine as a home server running over a dozen Docker containers. It's x86 instead of ARM too.
The only bad part was installing Linux. It took a while for me to figure out where the UEFI expected the boot files and documentation isn't great.
Definitely check this summary out: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/. Everyone's use case and priorities will be a little different, but I'd vote for Immich as a Google Photos replacement that looks nice and is very easy to use. I was awestruck by the facial and object recognition, which wasn't even a feature I particularly cared about.
Can you try pressing ctrl+shift+f2 from within Kitty and then adding font_size 20.0? That will make sure you are editing the same config file Kitty is using.
If that doesn't work, I'd try deleting the config and then try again. Kitty should automatically create a new config.
Nice list. Another, similar repo, also quite opinionated: https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker. I'm not the author, I've just found it really helpful at times.
In the screenshots of people setups, there are always fancy terminals.
Ha, they're just showing off their hacker side for the screenshot, plus terminals resize nicely. Tiling window managers work well for most apps. The only GUI issues I've had are some pop-up windows being tiled instead of floating, but that's an easy fix. They're not for everyone, but they work great with GUI apps.
I think you can use Arch for university, but I have a few suggestions:
- Don't update packages unless you have time to fix issues. Rare, but it happens, although usually minor.
- Never mess with greeters, kernel modifications, bootloaders, or anything else before login. Fixing issues may require a live USB and take some time. Avoid the temptation! (Ask how I know...)
- Use Flatpak where you can for increased stability by way of fewer packages to update.
Of course, you could also use a non-rolling release distro. Nothing wrong with that.

To be fair, the first time I tried running local AI (and it actually worked), I was so surprised that I actually unplugged my Ethernet and tried again. I'm still surprised, but it's possible for the massive amounts of training data to be compressed to a model under only 10 or 20 GB.
