Good call :3

Not a PC gamer myself but if you're new to Linux arch is prolly a bad idea

I took a class regarding Linux administration, and I've dabbled here and there, but most importantly, I spun up a VM to practice the initial installation process.

The wiki is super helpful, but it's a bit spaghettified at times. ๐Ÿ˜…

Though now I'm wondering if I might prefer NixOS. I have Bazzite on a laptop and my Deck, and I like its atomic behavior a lot, but Nix is kind of a unique take on atomic distros.
