@malin @pickle42 I agree. Although I personally don’t like having more than one package manager :).You could also switch to using a more rolling release like distro :). Manjaro is decent!

If you use Gentoo and have an adequate amount of RAM I suggest that you create a tmpfs for your portage TMPDIR to reduce the writes to your SSD!https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs

@nergal I never heard about that. But it is imaginable because of the limited lifetime of nand flash. Maybe some cheaper SSDs do that :thinkhappy: But in general it is best practice to not write a lot of temporary "garbage" data onto a SSD :D

@nergal I believe that the nand cells it self have a hard write limit to prevent data loss. But don't quote me on that ;). I am not an SSD expert

@nergal It’s not like SSDs die really quick. Under normal circumstances they will also have a long lifetime. Which makes them a valid option for using it as an operating system drive. And they are also shock and vibration resistent which makes them perfect for laptops. The one thing that shouldn’t be don’t is using an SSD as a backup drive or as an archival drive. There you are better off choosing a HDD.

@nergal It would! But since every manufacturer and almost every model (**revision**) of an HDD has slight differences in how data is written to the platter it’s basically impossible :(

@nergal Yep. But the way data is organized on the platter can be different as far as I know :).

@nergal Mhh. Interesting! I watched a few videos about board replacements of HDDs and in every single one of them it was said that you need an donor HDD that has the exact same board(-revision) for it to work :)

@amolith While I agree that Android Studio is one of the most bloated things out there. I still see a disadvantage using this alternative way though. With Android studio you can write your code, save the file and get to see the changes almost instantly without the need to recompile the whole app :). I have to take a look at how this life updating works. Maybe I can write a quick and dirty script to replicate that behavior.

@amolith That is a great starting point! :)But I don’t want to recompile all the time which is quite time consuming.With Android studio you compile a dev version of the apk once and then you can make changes to your code and let the app change in a matter of seconds without a recompilation.

I recently got the early bird version of @hund @iokeyboards new 65% ISO, hotswap, RGB underglow PCB. Although it being an early adopter model I have to say that it is already really matured! Everything worked out of the box; the soldering joints of the components are all perfect and the hotswap doesn't feel flimsy at all!It is a perfect board for newcomers and tinkerers who don't like the awkward and time consuming process of (de-)soldering their switches!
