Is it just me or is arch linux getting worse? vintologi.com 02/21/26(Sat)08:21:27 No.108203903 Archived

I noticed a trend where packages that were previously in the official repo got moved to the AUR (which is less convenient unless you try to use some sketchy AUR helper) and then when you try to use the AUR you get some error.

After the last update my system got laggy and the window manager started glitching which wasn't the case before (i have nvidia GPU).

Linux in general has been getting worse, why would arch be the exception

Tried installing openshot from the AUR and got errors.

There is the appimage version you can use but that's a bit suboptimal.

what gpu?
on my nvidia card, when i try to use hibernation, it literally doesn't wake up, just a black screen
tried troubleshooting months ago but just gave up, its too basic of a feature to have to go through any trouble for it

rtx 4060, what did you do for hibernation?
evidently its "experimental" so its not enabled by default and when i tried to enable it it was just botched

AMD/AMD on one PC and Intel/integrated on the other. Hibernation - the entire RAM to pagefile/swap partition and shutting down completely, not that modern pseudo sleep mode shit.

Haven't used it on Linux for like 8 years, but from what ppl say it sounds troublesome, I'd avoid, at least with Wayland. i3/X11 probably has better mileage than Wayland/Sway with Nvidia.

For me it has worked fine for the most part.

Seems like something broke recently. Ill just keep updating until the issue is resolved i guess (might take a while for it to disappear).

Tried installing various versions of the nvidia driver but got the same issues regardless.
