Using Arch probably allows for faster updates, since Steam won't have to wait for ages to use some of the newest Linux kernels.
Same goes for other supporting software.
Ubuntu is good as a stable platform, but it's probably too slow moving.
No,
the obvious solution is paying a monthly subscription to use a cloud-based computer for such high-intensity tasks like web-browsing. We should all be using https://www.mightyapp.com!
It's not a chicken and egg problem. It's Apples fault/intention.
They had really bad support for OpenGL and wanted developers to use Apple's Metal API.
But developers stayed on DirectX (Windows-only) or OpenGL/Vulkan for Linux/Windows/Android crossplatform.
It just wasn't economically viable to develop for Mac.
You should keep an eye out for S&Box! It's the successor to the popular Garry's Mod.
Garry's Mod is, imo, the sandbox and modding game and I think that S&Box will be even better. It's based on the Source 2 engine, and the main developer Garry has collected a lot of experience with GMod.
While GMod mods are based on Lua, S&Box uses C#, which is an awesome choice, imo. C# is a bit more verbose than Lua, but it probably enables mods of higher quality.
It's not out yet, but some keys get distributed to chosen people. Sadly, I'm not one of those.
Maybe has something to do with cached driver configuration, but I don't know which version of Windows introduced it.
It has to do with remembering which drivers were loaded the last time the OS ran and loading those first on reboot. Saves time on checking the whole driver catalog.
I talked about that topic with my principal when I was in school.
He told me that the school had to prevent those automatic budget cuts. His reasoning was that it's nearly impossible to get a higher budget if some big expenses had to be made.
And suddenly needing a higher budge, after for example 3 years of low expenses, doesn't make a good impression on higher-level administrators.
