Your wording is hard to understand. Are you asking if you can make /usr its own partition? If that's your question, you can. You need to make sure that "usr" and "fsck" are in HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
I can see how /usr can balloon in size. My /usr is 22G with 1613 packages installed.
I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I've been using this package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia-open/
I haven't had any issues so far (Steam running Jedi Survivor & The Last of Us)
I play tennis wearing contacts and wear glasses the rest of the time. On the tennis court, glasses fog up too easily. Off the tennis court, my contacts are just not clear enough (and my up close vision with contacts sucks -- yay progressive lenses).
I just use the built-in weather information by tapping on the temperature on my home screen on my Pixel.
YA Novels can be good -- such an easy, engaging story. I really enjoyed the "I am Number Four" and "Jumper" series-es.
Thank you! "enable multilib-testing and update lib32-nvidia-utils" fixed it for me too.
Through Steam and Proton, I'm able to play most of the games I'm interested in: Mass Effect, Last of Us, Jedi Fallen Order & Survivor. Steam Deck is built on Linux too.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Fun game, though unlike the first one, I wasn't immediately excited to keep playing for some reason.
I started using Lemmy last week and for a couple days it was slow (in terms of activity). But especially after Monday, activity is REALLY starting to pick up. I have high hopes for Lemmy and hope not to go back to Reddit.
I've been using restic. It has built-in dedup & encryption and supports both local and remote storage. I'm using it to back up to a local restic-server (pointing to a USB drive) and Backblaze B2.
Restores for single or small sets of files is easy: restic -r $REPO mount /mnt Then browse through the filesystem view of your snapshots and copy just like any other filesystem.
Mass Effect -- particularly Mass Effect 2 -- left an impression, but The Last of Us is and will always be the game that has stuck with me the most/longest.
I played the whole story on my MSI Titan DT 9SF (Nvidia 2070) running Arch Linux. It played very smoothly. There were a few issues. It may have crashed on my a couple times. But overall the experience was good.
