@j_r @emenel honestly, Arch just is not really the best idea for a preconfigured machine. A Debian variant is probably a far more stable choice. And I say that as someone who's used Arch as their primary OS for a decade+. It's simply not the distro for the kind of person who wants an off the shelf "linux laptop".

@j_r @emenel Answer is in the article: > We’ve taken the step fully at my company, 37signals. The entire technical team is moving to Omarchy and the Dell XPS laptops have become our standard issue equipment for new hires. That transition to Dell has been extra satisfying because we’ve always run PowerEdge servers in our data centers. Our grand cloud exit from a few years ago was powered by pallets of these magnificent machines. And now we get to run the same brand for our developer machines.
