Additionally, I had a 3 port FireWire card that I used for digitizing old MiniDV camcorder cassettes. But I had to remove it because someone fucked something up in kernel 6.5, crashing the whole boot process after a few milliseconds.
Just an update, I successfully switched my whole user data to EndeavourOS and installed almost everything I have used before. Works nice and smooth with KDE Plasma 6 in Wayland (although an NVIDIA downgrade to 535 is required for gaming until the latest driver is fixed).
(I disabled the Polonium tiling for the screenshot.)
Thanks for the hints, great list! :)
I'm a software developer and Ubuntu/Windows sysadmin, so reading wikis, writing shell script and tinkering with the OS is nothing new to me.
On my private Medion laptop, I even got vanilla Arch installed the hard way by following the guide on the wiki (without install script). I took a picture back then while I was creating partitions and the filesystem:
I did this as a challenge for myself and to try hyprland. Didn't have the time to fully customize the setup, so I chose EndeavouOS as it provides a good base.
Ok, thanks. I already found the tool nvidia-all, which allows me to use old driver 535 until the big wayland regression is fixed (hopefully soon).
With that out the way, switching the rest of my software to Arch should be easy.
This app is a godsend.
A bit OT: I recommend this loudness equalization preset: https://github.com/Digitalone1/EasyEffects-Presets
