Is it possible to have Arch’s best feature on other Linux distros? We attempt it and report our findings. Plus our reaction to NVIDIA’s beta Wayland support–is this the milestone we’ve been waiting for?

It's time to challenge some long-held assumptions.

Today's Btrfs is not yesterday's hot mess, but a modern battle-tested filesystem, and we'll prove it.
