I've used arch for 7-8 years. I'm currently using Garuda for gaming, on year 2 or 3.

My recommendation is that if arch is working for you just fine, then don't bother switching. I only switched because I had a breakage and it seemed time to switch (only 2 significant breakages in those 7or 8 years)

If you hadn't started with arch I would in fact recommend Garuda first because the initial setup is much more hands free, start it and install stuff and it just works. Also Garuda comes preconfigured with an AUR setup and installers for that and for the glorious egg roll proton.

That is all crap you can simply set up yourself on arch, so there's no need for you to switch, if you're fine with the arch and slightly more manual configuration then you're all set with arch and have no real reason to change that.

Yeah, also the efficiency of electric just heating the surface that the pot is directly sitting on probably helps transfer the heat to the pot faster even if it isn't actually getting hotter than gas.

I'm quite happy with my electric I think the only thing that would be better is if I had an induction burner for when I want it really hot really quick.

I think it depends on the kind of gas stove for if it gets as hot, definitely agree to an extent, for gas stoves a lot of the heat is lost anyways due to dissipating into the air and not into the pan.

But I suspect if you've got one of those jet wok gas burners you're getting pretty darn hot.

Be aware that the flames from a gas burner can go up around a small pot if they're turned up to high, so always double check that your pot is centered and the flames are on the bottom of the pot only and not going up the sides, to prevent accidents.

For similar reasons, don't leave wooden spoons in pots or pans unattended, my mom has a couple wooden cooking spoons that have burnt divots in the handle from being left in a pan or pot.

And maybe be a touch more careful when adding liquids to oil or using spray oils, they can and will flare up, unlike an electric where you can slop oil all over the surface and be mostly fine with just some smoke.

Happy to see firewater make it's way to lemmy. Would it be possible to repost and pin the pinned post that was on Reddit about methanol?

That was a really good resource I referenced a few times for people when there were questions about that.

I think white roads could be a problem with snow, usually the only good way to find the road in a snowstorm is to look for the darkness, no darkness and you can't tell the road from the ground covered in snow.

Not enough supply to meet the demand unfortunately, and if you do it carelessly you might end up being the next billionaire. I'm sure there ought to be some wagyu billionaire out there, just be careful charging the premium for it.

There's a setting for this in Outlook now, basically a toggle to choose either edge or the system default.

Not nice to have an extra setting for it but at least it can be turned off
