Meh, they both support a ton of formats and encodings. Just use whichever feel best, even install both.

It's a single metric out of many for a file system, let's see if someone investigates.
The application startup test is designed to cold-load an application with heavy background IO going on.
With regards to Arch based distros: Do you still need to read Arch news to spot potentially breaking updates and know how to diff pacsave/pacnew, etc. or have Garuda found a way to manage these things?
Most prompt customizers have an option for showing how long last command ran and whether it succeeded/failed or simply prompt timestamp, it's often default. I use Tide, there's also Starship and a number of others. You can also roll your own ofcourse.
Yes, it seems like there could be a weakness there, unless it's just a fluke. The test has a background I/O load designed to stress BFQ I/O.
I guess mileage might differ. I installed Tumbleweed and then the Nvidia drivers following the wiki instructions. Everything is going great. Running a 3060 with Wayland+Plasma on a 360Hz screen and gaming through Steam. I love Tumbleweed.
An alternative if just for benchmarking is EndeavourOS, you can choose proprietary Nvidia drivers as a boot option in the installer and then I believe it'll be installed with them without further ado. Downside is if you use it long term you have to read Arch News before updates to spot breaking/incompatible changes and be knowledagable of things like pacnew/pacsave files, etc.
Even Nvidia have embraced RISC-V, the general purpose controller embedded on their GPU's is RISC-V.
Panel freeze is a known KDE bug on non-Intel GPUs. It's fixed in Plasma 6, avoid it on Plasma 5 by disabling window previews for the panel.
Suddenly i feel nostalgic for xbiff. No longer useful but he was a good dog.
