Yeah, it’s a shame that consumer hardware has gotten this expensive, but compared to the cost of other alternatives the B70 is a fantastic deal, especially at the old price. Cyberpunk 2077 still runs at 100fps at 3440x1440p with max settings RT off, Qwen3.8-27B at UD-Q6_K_XL with 131k context runs at up to 35tok/s TG and 900tok/s PP with my llama.cpp-sycl AUR package.
I took your suggestion to heart and decided to say fuck it and move my whole GitHub over to Codeberg. The non-profit nature, being hosted in Germany where I’m also from and ditching the last Microslop service I have make this something I should have done sooner. The only thing left is the repo for the website itself, I’m gonna set up the actions to automatically sync it with Hetzner tomorrow, I’m done for today!

Nice to hear! It might be the case that you will have to do some tinkering at first, but I would really appreciate any info I can get so I can get this to be stable as fast as possible!
Silently working around a problem is how you end up with a system no longer set up the way you think it is.
It’'s not working around the issue, it’s just refusing to update. You shouldn’t need to manually rollback a system that doesn’t boot. And you shouldn’t need to manually troubleshoot or fix it either. Just report the failing update and wait for it to be fixed.
Jup, I think that explains my point perfectly, thank you!
The point of most atomic distros is that it’s set up for you. If you want to manually investigate around and work around the issue yourself, then an atomic distro is probably not for you.
I’d add to this that my distro will just spare you the time to unfuck your system. What you do about the fact that the update failed is still up to you to figure out, but at least you start the figuring out process in your damn DE. That in no way is “silently changing how your system works”, that’s literally just saving you time by doing something that you would have to manually do yourself if it was even a possibility.
Honestly, I haven’t even thought about that yet. I don’t see anything speaking against using other init systems at first glance, but that’s gonna be very low on my future priorities rn. If I should have some spare time after checking every mayor box then sure, I don’t mind systemd but I’m also not a huge fan.
Thank you! Yeah, especially at the start you are bound to make a few errors but after a while it becomes smooth sailing. Regarding the burnout, I have autism and if it interests me and I use it for myself I will likely never burn out from it, I’ve put about 100 hours into this the last 12 days and I hate going to bed today instead of testing more on my ThinkPad haha
Very interesting, I’ll take a deeper look at that tomorrow, thank you!
Very simple reason: you won’t even notice that something broke since the distro will fall back onto the previous version automatically
I actually got it for 1249€ the same month it released! I’m super happy with it, worth every penny.
Yeah I get you, recently with everyone vibe-coding their stuff, there have been a lot of useless distros, but I really feel like I’m onto something useful. I’m self employed and basically temporarily took on less orders so I can work on this full-time until I get the first version out and actual full on development turns into maintaining and improving. I can definitely manage it and actually look forward to it as it’s super fun to me! Also I used today to make some changes as you can read in the comment I just left.
Check out the comment I just left, I implemented a solution that pacman is now completely usable so it’s literally just vanilla Arch but atomic instead of being Flatpak-only!

UPDATE
I took your suggestions to heart and updated the website to reflect the changes I implemented today. The big change is that I found a way to keep pacman fully intact and functioning, but make it apply the changes atomically. So now this isn’t just limited to Flatpaks, but LITERALLY Arch Linux but made atomic.
The new intro reads:
“Plutonium-239 is Arch Linux, made atomic. It combines the rolling release model of Arch Linux with an atomically updated root filesystem inspired by SteamOS on top of the heavily optimized CachyOS performance kernel. Unlike immutable distributions that lock you out of the native package manager and force you into sandboxes, Pu-239 keeps the core Arch experience intact. You still get the full power of pacman and the official Arch repositories, with the peace of mind of an unbreakable safety net underneath.”

Mal sehen, GitHub war das letzte Big Tech, bzw. USA-basierte was ich genutzt habe und war mir deswegen schon seit langem ein Dorn im Auge, bisher habe ich aber nie die Nerven gehabt zu wechseln. Jetzt war aber der beste Zeitpunkt, da das Hauptrepo noch leer war und ich meine restlichen Projekte aussortiert habe. Die kompilierten Pakete und ISOs kommen eh alle auf meinen Hetzner Webserver, Codeberg hätte quasi “nur” den Source-Code, sollte also verträglich genug sein und GitHub einfach komplett zurückzulassen!
