          good on you, NVIDIA drivers are very decent these days, on wayland in particular. Glad to see someone rocking an Xeon chip, they are great chips.

          And I just learned that CachyOS is based on Arch! I just began dual booting fedora (nobara) with arch, but went with river as the wayland compositor, because I heard good things. KDE is a great DE, keep learning linux, it's a lot of fun!

              Duel boot is what you call it when Windows is the other OS

                Immediate recommendation with KDE: your Windows key and the ~ key pressed together will bring up the ability to set snapping zones for windows. Very helpful tool, especially if you were a fan of "FancyZones" in Windows

                        I don't know if the key bind changed, but it's meta (windows key) + t, now. I only know because I read a very recent article from KDE about how the latest plasma -I'm on 6.4.3- tweaked it to be better.

                        I really like it, it has the option to create window gaps similar to how i3-gaps is.

                        Then hold the shift key when dragging a window to make it snap.

                          Have fun with CachyOS! It's what I'm using as my daily driver right now. Protip for BTRFS: learn how to rollback to a previous snapshot before you need to. It makes it a lot less stressful.

                            It's an arch installer that has its own set of optimized kernels id you want them, but also has a great kernel manager so you can pick different optimized ones or defaults or even hardened options. Plus it does BTRFS w/ snapshots set up for you, which helps deal with the Arch ecosystem's rate of updating

                                  Very important to enable wobbly windows as well.

                                    Oooh I just started using Cachy, I love it!

                                    I thought Arch was going to be a lot more daunting, but I already used the command line for a lot of stuff in my previous, Ubuntu-based distro. Make sure to set up Timeshift in case anything breaks though šŸ˜‰

                                    (Oh and check out the Windows 7 theme that KDE Plasma offers. It's byoutiful.)

                                          The boot manager does a coin flip each time to choose which one to use
