    Well, I have a perfectly functional Ubuntu 22.04 desktop with zero problems and naturally I decided to blow it away and do something different.

    I installed Arch, and am back to the OS tweaking hobby thing that's so frustratingly fun.

    This time, I used encryption, btrfs, snapper snapshots with grub, and the machine has hybrid graphics. I use the Intel GPU for basically everything unless I need horsepower, in which case I just prime-run <application> and the NVidia GPU takes over.

    This machine is a beast :)

    I installed the CachyOS repos and now I believe most things are x86_64-v3.

    I've also tweaked the makepkg.conf file for quite a bit of optimization.

    Needless to say, this is a fast machine, and I'm enjoying it!

    Wow, that's incredible! What de/wm do you use?

    I use KDE Plasma. I like that it's supported, maintained, polished, actually isn't too bad on resources, and is not Gnome :P

    Being not gnome is a definite plus.
