Yeah I've been running the Arch variant of this on my personal laptop for a while now. Of course no stability guarantees with this for now since you'll be running systemd from source.
- xx_ns 1y agoHow have your experiences with this setup been so far? Any major pain points?
- DaanDeMeyer 1y agoBuilding the next update locally is slow because erofs has to compress the entirety of /usr on my rather old laptop and that takes a while. Aside from that, I'm using flatpak for firefox and for some reason it takes absolutely forever (like > 15s) to start firefox on my machine, still need to look into why that happens. Aside from those it's very usable. But of course it's running systemd from source so I'm not going to actually recommend anyone to run this who is not a systemd maintainer until we iron out the kinks.
- xx_ns 1y agoThanks! The slow startup times have usually been an xdg-desktop-portal issue for me in the past, might be worth looking into.
- vaylian 1y agoHow does the update process work? Do you run pacman -Syu and then bake the result into the next image with mkiso?
- DaanDeMeyer 1y agomkosi runs pacman for you and then packs up the result as a disk image. It also builds a unified kernel image and does a bunch of signing. The new /usr partition and UKI are then installed with systemd-sysupdate.
