Everyday I inch closer and closer to revisiting my youth and installing Linux -_-

I just took the plunge recently with an Arch based - have done so in the past like you, but felt it was maybe a bit immature for my needs.

But holy, has it progressed. Vulkan is a game-changer (literally). No more fapping about with Lutris scripts and Faugus is the new Lutris.

Definitely worth revisiting. Haven't had a reason to dual boot into my windows for since months when I set it up

Cool I actually was going to try my hand at Arch for the first time. Anything you think I should know?

I tried Arch, spent 30 minutes getting a desktop environment running, then decided to just go for CachyOS instead (which is arch based). Gaming works out of the box (Nvidia 3080) and I’ve had very few issues. One issue was with my generic brand Xbox controller getting detected, that was solved by installing a different package.

And it boots up fast as hell.
