I am having a strange issue on Arch Linux for a while. Audio is not working and videos do not want to play unless I execute "systemctl --user restart pipewire wireplumber".
Does anyone know what could be the reason before I get lost in the depths of the Arch Linux forum?
PC Neuinstallation. Wie befürchtet schon am ersten Schritt hängen bleiben: keine #WLAN Verbindung. Nichts hilft. Erstmal Spaziergang machen. Danach wird mir die lange Nase gezeigt, weil es jetzt klappt, wie es soll. #archinstall konfiguriert, bricht die Installation unmittelbar nach dem Start ab. Irgendwelche #python Fehler. Motivation im Keller, Frustpegel am Abheben. Früher hatte ich noch Spass daran, diese Zeiten sind vorbei. Jetzt will ich einfach nur ein funktionierendes System, das nicht ständig meine Aufmerksamkeit erfordert.
Chyba nie jest tak ze mną źle w temacie #linux, skoro udało mi się postawić #ArchLinux z menedżerem okien #Hyprland
I teraz mam zagwozdkę. Iść dalej z tym tematem, czy pozostać w debianowym środowisku?

In 2015 I switched to a #macbookpro and worked with #macos for 5 years.
In 2020 I formatted my MacBook’s drive and installed a #linux system. After some distro hopping #archlinux with #gnomedesktop became my daily driver. But depending on your needs another distro could fit for you.
I remember when I started messing around with Linux, it all seemed so hard and Arch Linux was the big bad bogeyman.
Now, years later, I use Arch Linux as my daily driver, and I am starting to learn FreeBSD. Curiously, I don't find FreeBSD to be as intimidating as Arch Linux seemed to be wayback then. However, it is a beast I want to tame. I am getting my ass kicked at every twist and turn.

Accidentally deleted my microcode image in a hasted attempt to rebuild and resize my boot partition - I really need to start paying closer attention to my rm commands
At least the fix was simple enough: - make arch iso - mount drives and chroot - pacman -S amd-ucode - exit, umount, and reboot
The real lesson of the day was 300mb is not enough for a boot partition these days...
I'm considering using a password manager. I run a minimal archlinux-based system. I don't care about synchronizing with any other machines, just about making an encrypted backup of the password bank in a file I can put in an exterman HD and not worry about. Any suggestions?
Even more importantly, what to look for and what to avoid when evaluating alternatives? (My scepticism against software is what kept me away from this type of program for the last decade and a half...)
