      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

                      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.)

                                  If you’re gaming download Steam and read into Proton. Proton is Steam’s compatibility layer for Windows Games, it allows them to run on Linux.

                                  https://protondb.com/ will be your best friend.

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

                                        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.

                                        yeah it's meta+t for me too.
                                        is there a way to snap a window so it occupies 2 zones? i have a vertical monitor divided into thirds and sometimes i want a window to be 2 thirds tall šŸ˜›
