I guess you are talking about modpack that contain 10 mods and not 60-200. Idk what the worsr modpack was and I can imagine modpacks with 60 mods can still be handled by my laptop with 8GB Ram but have fun using larger modpacks while consuming youtube or something in parallel. All the mods modpack was one of the worst

Yeah, just start any Minecraft modpack and you have something worse than a toaster on a Mac

I assume this is not thr case for Linux

I maybe had a single Ubuntu release that worked out of 6. So it always lastet a year or so. Since Arch Linux, I never really needed to reinstall anything.

I always used an archiso from 2021 and wondered why the script never works. Last time it tried it with a new ISO again, damn was it fast and simpel. I needed to install Arch many times because of new PCs we used as Server

Behind a paywall?
