Be wary of GPU drivers. AMD used to work fine, but nvidia can sometimes get wonky and either make booting slower than it should be or just outright break your X server. But overall games work super smoothly nowadays with Proton, and you can even run non-Steam games with it.
And if you're not acquainted with it, the Arch Wiki is always useful, but specially for arch-based distros like that one.
Thanks, comrade. The system recognized my Nvidia 1060, hopefully It will run fine.
What's X server? is it related to X11 thing?
@caboclo @AlbigensianGhoul yep, the x server is one half of x11. Though Wayland will replace both of them any day now...
Should I look into replacing it already with Wayland?
@caboclo depends. There is still a good amount of issues that make it a lot harder to get to work. It is the future though.
