Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

Is it hard to get two monitors running on Arch w/ i3wm? I can't really read another bullshit thing about microsoft again and thats all I am worried about for the switch.

I haven't used i3 but I'd be surprised if it was that hard since it works out of the box on Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, and xfce in my experience.

Thank you, I don't know if it will but I'll try.

Hey, I used to use that before switching to sway a few years ago. It isn't hard at all: There is not a single line in my config concerned with monitors, it just works by default.

I've moved to Arch like a month ago, first installed i3, I think you'll only need xrandr and setup some hooks that set/reset xrandr on the screen plug/unplug, if you ALWAYS have two screens plugged in, you can execute xrandr on X startup and that's all about it

Why is Arch with i3wm the only alternative to Windows? There are many other distros and desktop environments.

I am not saying that. Thats what my laptop and uploaded config on github is for is all.

Was pretty easy to setup in Manjaro a year ago. Can't say how it is now, I'm using hyprland now.

Manjaro is pretty fire and forget now. It's what I'm running currently. The install is fully guided and newbie friendly.

Everybody is recommending to not install Manjaro. Try EndeavourOS instead. Or just pure arch. That's what I will probably do soon.
