I agree. I have also used it for a couple of years.

It is source available though. It uses the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2) license.

It states it can't find it in /etc/fstab. So do you have it there? And does it have the correct ID?

(I don't know how zfs pools work, I'm just going of what the mount command said)

Maybe the power settings are not set up correctly in Tablet mode (I don't know if there are seperate settings for normal and tablet mode).

Or as another responded, the button might count as a keyboard and thus is disabled in tablet mode. What happens if you press the power button when the device is awake and in tablet mode?

I disagree with it being underpowered for regular office use and media consumption. If you can get your hands on a 16 GB RAM one, it should be able to handle just about anything other than gaming.

I will say that a second-hand ThinkPad is a great option. They can be real cheap, but you can also get a pretty decent new one for your budget.

You can likely find great T480-T495 that fits your needs really well.

Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.

I know. It's not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.

It's fast, but you are only installing base, linux and grub.

base-devel should also be there, since it's assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you'd want to build with makepkg.

But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.

I like that Flatpak counts as a distro in this chart. I assume it's because the Steam flatpak does not really have access to distro information when the survey hits.

Also, the change between 2020 and 2024 for Arch and Ubuntu is wild. They switched places....

I think the point is to make people aware of their progress and that they are open for testing.

Plasma-pa is built on libpulse, but pipewire is an in-place replacement for that anyway. Kmix is still only built with qt5 on Arch, while Plasma-pa and the rest of Plasma is qt6.
