 Not with arch.  I got go v1.22.1 and rustc 1.76.0 (because 77 just came out a few hours ago).

 yes, arch is lovely but arch installation hurts your brain

so many things to remember for no good reason

 Yeah, only have to install it once per machine tho, or if you're triple boot like me, maybe a couple more times.

 since i got this RX 7800 XT video card tho... no video output

took me like 3 days to finally find zorinOS installer works, but if you do it online it "upgrades" it to a kernel that doesn't, and beacuse of the grub config the bastard thing doesn't even pop up a menu for you to opt for the 6.2 kernel from the thing taht works

and man, omg is it hard to find a linux version that supports recent AMD video properly

now, riddle me this: why is this the situation when the fucking AMD drivers are completely open source, no foolin?

i'm super dirty on linus torvalds this last few years, the amount of time i've wasted trying to install linux on AMD discrete GPU hardware i have lost count, it's probably weeks of my life in the last 4 years, and how the fuck does this make any sense when it's NVDA that is hiding the sausage???
