Woah that's crazy, anyways my Arch updates just dropped today, and continue to drop like hourly.

As they say, It's all about choice. I'm not overly enamoured byIthe additional features, other than the security and similar uodates. Less keen on the bakes in AI. I'll see how we get on, but thinking about my last windows machine also migrating to Debian.

AI isn’t the only game in town, as this is also a traditional OS update with the usual quality of life improvements. There’s finally native support for RAR and 7-zip file formats, so you can get rid of those third-party archiving apps.

LMAO It just hit me that Windows STILL did not have native ways to do this. We've been using .rar for 30 years and for this whole time, Microsoft never released their own utility for opening them until now. Wow.

EDIT: Mb. I meant to say the .rar files. I have corrected my comment. It's still ridiculous, though.
