  • If you’re a power user, I’d actually recommend installing Arch Linux. It will take a while, and definitely much longer then just pressing “install” on a fancy UI, but the advantages it brings are priceless.

    Generally, you’ll have to build the OS yourself, but you get a manual doing most of the job if you simply follow it, kinda like Lego. Given that you ultimately build it all yourself, you know how things work if anything might break. You also know how to adjust things if you wish to change something. And for everything you want to do, there’s an up-to-date manual in the arch wiki.

    On top of that, the distro is running the newest software, which means that almost everything is compatible and runs in the best possible way. It will be tested 2-3 weeks in advance in order to ensure it won’t break your system immediately. But even if it does, guess what, there’s a manual on how to fix your system.

    In case you’re overwhelmed at any point, there’s a great community. Not sure if they managed to move to lemmy, but they’re definitely over on reddit.

    Good luck :)



  • Most people understand the word “private tracker” as a website like piratebay which you can only enter if someone else invites you. It often involves a requirement to seed some amount back into the network.

    There are some names of known private trackers out there, there are ways to get an invite, sometimes it even involves something as simple as a donation (that’s how I got in, currently sitting on the leaderboard for amount of data seeded). Once you’ve entered one private tracker, there’s also easy ways to enter others, since you show credibility and commitment.

    I think that sums it up nicely.
