.tar.zst
People should stop using .tar.gz or .zip
They both are not horribly bad, but .tar.zst is just the best option we have, as zstandard is pareto optimal

I use arch btw
GrapheneOS
GrapheneOS is the best android custom ROM by far. It is more secure, it gets updated very often and security patches land on my phone faster than I hear about them. It is way more performant than the default ROM that ships with Pixel Phones, my battery lasts for days if I don't use the phone.
At first I was very sceptical, as I want to be sure I can rely on my phone. But it is super stable, way better than the Samsung ROM I had before.
GrapheneOS is still just for pixel phones right?
Yup. Apparently it has done security features they are not willing to go without by supporting other phones
Yes phones need to have at least these requirements to fullfill GrapheneOS standards:

Why doesn't anyone specify that Graphene OS can only be installed on Pixel?
Been hearing about this. Peazip seems to support it.
Is zstd better than lzma in compressed size or is the optimality weighing in both compression time and compressed size?
Will try it out. Thank you
Opensuse Leap, because I have a nvidia laptop. Thinking about switching to Pop OS, as ubuntu gets more packages and simple online tutorials on them.
I'm on a random Chinese android. It's cheap and decent, but I don't know if it would handle flashing a new rom. Graphene aims at support for Pixel, right?
I have Arch with an Nvidia card. Granted not a laptop but, it works. Even with Wayland (Hyprland).
Is it easy/non-cumbersome to install and maintain?
Have never tried arch.
It's as easy as you make it, honestly. If you have patience to read the wiki before trying different things then it's for you, especially if you want a lean, clean system with only the stuff you choose and want in it, and the latest versions of those things.
You can install GNOME or KDE and be done forever, or you could be like me, continuously tweaking my custom UI written in eww widgets, constantly optimizing my scripts, my key bindings... Experimenting with different window managers...
I make it neverending because I choose to, not because it's Arch.
I hope you join the family some day. We're enjoying ourselves.
Isn't Arch a rolling release model? Would not be there be issues in maintenance?
The Arch wiki is very cool. It's useful for learning about things and troubleshooting.
The Arch wiki is my god. ❤️
And yes, it's a rolling release model. I've not had issues with maintenance. I just install updates and go on with life. Sometimes the news page will have some notes about manual intervention that needs to happen but they are few and far between. Sometimes things that don't even apply to me due to not having the packages installed that have breaking changes.
I have two small kids and a full time job, I don't stress over maintenance one bit. I use it at work and at home, for leisure and gaming, as well as work from home and productivity, streaming, what have you. Just a normal OS, the only difference is the installation procedure, mostly. Now there's even a script that installs it for you, if your setup isn't too complicated.
Aah. Will try it out(probably on a VM first, or when I distrohop)
Good luck! Don't be a stranger.
At its highest compression setting (
zstd -T0 -19 --long), it's about the same as lzma in compression ratio (varies a bit from file to file though), but slightly faster to compress, and much much faster to decompress. Decompression speed is not significantly affected by the compression setting (though compression speed is) and is usually at least a few hundred MiB/s to 1G+Yes GrapheneOS only supports pixel devices, as these are the only phones that have a high enough security standard.

Yes for zstd. Here's a comparison:
