Never thought I’d seriously contemplate wearing thigh highs while programming, but here I am.

My feet get too warm to be comfortable like that, but I’m with you on the programming. The coming winter might change that though <3

I like your plant, maybe I should print one :D

I don’t program so I follow online tutorials and it’s hard to install without the need to troubleshoot the problems.

Try EndeavourOS.

Manjaro has been my first entry into Arch and I’ve been nothing but happy with it a month or so of use later. 10 minute install, worked perfect out of the box and has done so ever since.

Almost 20 years of Linux on the desktop and I’d never thought to dare try an Arch based system until now.

Monitor desk mount on a glass table? You sure got balls

Everyone is telling me this but why should I be scared?

That’s a lot of weight for a pane of glass. Additionally, if it’s tempered (which I suspect it must be), then when it fails, it’ll fail catastrophically. It’ll literally explode, sending glass bits everywhere. Now, it’s actually not as dangerous as it sounds, the pieces of glass will be “dull” and won’t cut to the bone, but can still cause nicks and scratches. You also risk breathing in glass dust. The reason why tempered glass can explode is because it’s been cooled in such a way so that the exterior is putting the interior under pressure, and the interior is pushing out and giving the exterior strength. However, microfractures can form over time, especially when the glass flexes (like heavy weight being unsupported by a non-glass structure). As these microfractures occur, the pane gets weaker and weaker until the exterior can no longer keep the interior under pressure, at which point the entire thing explodes.

Tempered glass desks are pretty safe so long as you aren’t putting too much weight on them, but a monitor mount, especially one that tall, is going to exert a ton of torque on the glass.

Thank you for the complete explanation, the desk itself is quite thick and Ive had it for 3 years so I wasnt too concerned. Are those microfractures usually visible?

Arch linux is just amazing, I tried others but I always come back to it. It’s just better for how I use my computer: tinkering, programming and gaming
