BTRFS raid on LUKS-encrypted devices (no LVM, all unlocked with one password via SystemD encrypt hooks).

But -just to provide some context as I often see those stupid arguments that electrification cannnot work when we need that much elelctricity- the "total energy use" includes production losses and transport of fossil fuels as well as comparably very low efficiency (in heating and combustion engines in particular). So despite having 80% of the energy use to replace with electricity it's not a factor of 5 but more closer to ~2,5 (even less for countries with a lower amount of heavy, energy intensive industries).
The main trash you accumulate are config files in you home directory because they stay after the package is uninstalled. And they just sit there not hurting anybody.
Which is a good point to remind people to install pacman-contrib and make running pacdiff regularly a habit...
Which btw is the reason many people ended up with Archlinux... after the x-th time looking up some configuration issues on another distro and landing there.
I think it's not a newbie but a general user issue. I have learned to recognize the linux newbies for whom Arch is a good fit over time... just by watching which people distro hop until landing with Archlinux.
PS: And among the typical distro hoppers is really a big chunk of them... because for a lot of them distro hopping is just a symptom of wanting to make the mandatory big system upgrades every few years at best worth it by trying something new. Those should actually get a rolling distro as a recommendation much earlier.
Yes, you are missing the fact that it's mostly not people making Archlinux their personality, but people making meme'ing about "Archlinux users" their personality. For the vast majority it's just an OS.
Geringfügig...
Die Medien, die seit bald drei Jahren unaufhörlich von der streitenden und nichts zu Stande bringenden Ampel berichten und ganz zufällig immer verschweigen, was sich tatsächlich getan hat, schaden der Demokratie.
Die Union mit ihrem plumpen Populismus, Stammtischparolen und der Übernahme von AfD-Narrativen schaden der Demokratie.
Der Streit in der Ampel ist da eine Nebengeschichte, auch gern so laut erzählt, um eben vom Restz abzulenken. Das wirklich Substantielle ist da eher auf die FDP (Unions-Populismus 2.0, danke Springer...) begrenzt. Ansonsten wären offene Diskussionen um tatsächlich Probleme und Lösungen sogar oft ganz angenehm, weils informiert. Wenn sie denn nicht ständig vom Narrativ lautstark übertönt werden würden...
There weren't enough alt-right loonies to be relevant in the first place, so they took years and had to work hard to co-opt any insane fringe topic to get them all into one somewhat big movement.
So now it's a total shitshow of fairy tales now that make most hardcore conspiracy nutjobs seem sane.
Those usage stats are a fantasy build by nicely asking your browser about your pc's details. But the answer is complete fiction. And one people often intentionally set to display Windows because idiotic corporate-created webpages will refuse to work properly otherwise.
(I haven't touched Windows in many years and still I would end up in those stats as a Windows user (and Chrome which is also wrong)...)
It's basically all just marketing bullshit.
Bevor eine Partei, die mangels Inhalten nur noch durch Blockade, Rechtspopulismus und Machtgier auffällt, alle Deutschen (oder zumindest die Mehrheit) repräsentiert, sollten wir Deutschland lieber dicht machen. Hat ja dann offensichtlich nicht funktioniert...
Btrfs can mostly fo everything you would normaly use LVN or raid for natively.
Btrfs raid0 lets you combine any number of differently sized drives into one (just without the speed boost of traditional raid0 because with flexible drive sizes data is not symmetrical striped). And btrfs raid1 keeps every data duplicated, again with flexible number and sizes of drive (also with metadata on every drive).
The sytemd hooks (instead of the traditional busybox ones) then manage the one other task you use LVM for: unlocking multiple partitons (for example multiple raid partitons and swap) with just one password. Because the systemd encrypt function tries unlooking all luks partitions it finds with the first password provided and only asks for passwords for each partition if that doesn't work.
PS: btrfs subvolumes are already flexible in size and don't need predefined sizes. So the only things that need to be created separately are non-btrfs stuff like the efi system partition or a physical swap (which you can also skip by using a swap file instead of a partition).
