I have been experimenting with different setups, at first i thought of trying GRUB since it's customisable but i was told it's not stable and can have many issues when setting up. I then turned to UKI but it still looks very complicated and I'm not sure what to do exactly.
Heyo!
After about 6 months of work (a significant chunk of which was fighting my ISP for a static public IP), I finally have a fully functional public Arch Linux mirror running out of Tunisia.
If you're in the North Africa region, your packages have been hitting servers in Germany or South Africa until now.
To use it, add to the top of /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:
Server = https://mirror.safiabidi.com/$repo/os/$arch
Some details:
Syncs daily from (Tier 1, DE)
Full repo coverage including testing and unstable
HTTPS only
Live dashboard at
Tier 2 submission pending with the Arch team
I'm a second year Computer engineering student running this on a home server. It's been serving real traffic since going public a couple weeks ago. Would appreciate any feedback, and if you're in North Africa or even southern Europe give it a try <3

So basically I keep randomly getting phantom key presses on my laptop whenever I switch focus between windows or workspaces, this has happened on both Sway and Hyprland and for now I have changed my Hyprland config to,
input {
repeat_rate = 40
repeat_delay = 600 # Increase this if keys still repeat
}
This will stop visual inputs but the phantom key presses will still register sometimes and my biggest annoyance so far is that Satty does not open (I use grim+slurp+satty for screenshots). I have tried to edit my grub config but that ended up breaking my backspace key. Yes, my system is up to date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance!
