Arch is good for tinkering with to make it your own, but can sometimes require tinkering to do things other distros can do straight away, e.g. adding udev rules to use certain devices or setting up zeroconf to be able to discover printers on the network automatically

If you want to be able to roll back changes easily you could set up your root and home partitions as btrfs subvolumes and use snapper to take snapshots, which can be combined with pacman hooks to automatically take snapshots when updating/installing software and can even be set up to allow booting into the snapshots which could be useful if you break your system

Currys

*Curries unless you’re talking about the electronics retailer

those Indian takeaways… tandori?

If you’re just referring to the restaurants, I’d just call one of those restaurants an Indian (as in the cuisine) or maybe a curry house. Tandoori, Balti, etc. all relate to styles of cooking and may be used in restaurant names, but if I was referring to restaurants that serve Indian style curries in general, I would just call it an Indian.

Fair enough, I agree the situation is mildly infuriating, whatever the reason you wanted it. A lot of restaurant/pub chains over here will throw out extra food if they prepped too much, rather than letting staff take it, probably because they don’t want people creating waste on purpose but also don’t want to spend the minimal effort required to stop people abusing the system if they allowed people to take excess food home. The distrust of low paid workers leads to most stores being unable to deal with special requests unless you are speaking to the manager and I don’t know where I’m going with this…

If it’s so much effort to try and get fat trimmings from butchers, why not just buy a block of lard from the supermarket?

If you’re using BTRFS and know how to/are prepared to learn, just create separate sub volumes instead of multiple partitions. Means that you don’t need to decide how to split up space between different partitions and they are easy to delete without a live USB.
