Hey, at least they tested it.
I remember testing ram by compiling the Linux kernel. It was so resource intensive that it tended to use every block of memory, so if I was getting weird crashes or something I would just run a kernel build and see if I needed better diagnostics.
I found out about 2 months ago I had a dead stick because of my Arch install. I kept having data integrity problems and thought my NVMe was dying. And then the other drive was having the same issues. I had reinstalled Arch so many times during this that I memorized ALL the steps from start to end. I really wish I had tested RAM earlier, but was so determined to believe it was the drives.
At least you have a lot more experience with installing Arch now. Might be usefull when you want to install it on other PC's.
Yeah, I'm not a novice to Linux in general, but it was my first time using Arch. Was testing it out after many years of admin of Ubuntu servers and then trying OpenSUSE for gaming. I don't think I could ever leave Arch now, it's just so easy to maintain and I finally get the hype.
May I ask why you would prefer Arch over others?
I am not too familiar with Arch. It seems interesting to me to play around with it and follow a guide to set it up on one of my pc's.
Sure, Arch is very much a distro that you only will install what you want and none of the extras until you find a need. There's none of the extra bloat you get in most distros. And if you want to install something that isn't part of a distro package, you can install it via the Arch Users Repository (AUR) which has a combination of both binaries and source packages that will compile at install.
And most importantly all of that is easy to maintain, including the AUR using either pacman (the package manager) or yay (a wrapper for pacman that can update not only distro packages but anything in AUR). The worst part about installing projects manually is usually you have to do all the work of keeping it up to date, with but yay, it's just "yay", say yes a few times, and you're generally done for everything.
What a creative way to test memory. nice :)
