This is kinda the opposite of what you're asking for, but might address the reason that you're asking the question?
CachyOS is an Arch based distro, but it precompiles many arch packages (and some AUR packages) in several versions, optimised for either x86_64-v3 or x86_64-v4.
So if your goal is "optimised" rather than "compile yourself" it might be worth looking at
Please report back once you've tried it.
Well, assuming you survive...
Hexbear has a bad reputation for many reasons, but I've never heard anyone claim that they're anti trans. They are known for being incredibly protective of their trans members.
Absolutely! And some of us are weird enough to eat them with jam! But no one eats them with jelly
I don't use jelly, because as an Australian, jelly means something very different to me. Jelly on a sandwich is... just no...
That's what I did a couple of months ago. New PC, got rid of Windows and moved to Arch. The old PC is running Arch as well, and acts as our media PC.
Well yes, you can do professional photo work in either, but darktable is not as easy to use. Masking in darktable for example, is incredibly configurable and powerful, but it's also quite technical, and nothing at all like the AI driven object detection masking that Lightroom uses.
The ability to overlay masks to add or subtract from each other on a per module basis isn't something that Lightroom does, so working out how to make the most of it in darktable is a process.
The scene referred pipeline workflow changes the way many of the modules work compared to similar functionality in Lightroom, and scene referred worklows in general is not the way most photo editing and management software works, so it's a whole process to learn as well.
I'm finding darktable better and more powerful than Lightroom, but it is absolutely harder to use, and takes time and patience to understand.
It's very different. They used to be similar years ago, but now darkroom is its own thing.
Scene referred processing, parametric masks and many other modules that have no equivalent in Light room.
Darktable is pretty powerful, though it's not as easy to use as Lightroom
Learning a new language. I normally pick things up pretty quickly, but learning a new language has been a slow slow process, but worth every second :)
The joys of being a 2E student.
Gifted, with undiagnosed ADHD.
Flew in to university without ever learning how to organise my time. Smashed every exam university put in front of me. Failed every form of written assessment that required time management and planning, instead of just knowing the answers. Even after they put me on academic probation and I understood how serious it was, I couldn't fix it, because I didn't know I had ADHD at the time, and had never learned the organisational skills required, because I'd never needed them to succeed academically before.
