    Good choice in my opinion! It was my first distro on my desktop. The btrfs filesystem and snapshots helped me a few times when I broke my system while experimenting and it worked well for gaming. The Chaotic AUR is nice too with pre-compiled AUR packages









  • If you want an Arch-based gaming distro there is Garuda (also a non heavily-themed version). I used Garuda before switching to plain Arch. It ran pretty well and I really liked the btrfs filesystem and the snapshots. It meant I could easily restore a backup of my system if I manage to break it. Which I did a few times.


  • This is great! I have managed to get a few kernel panics on my system related to Steam and NTFS drives.

    I have a shared HDD formated to NTFS that I have imported to Steam as a library. It sometimes that HDD is not mounted at boot due to some error, which have resulted in me installing the same game on my main drive. When I later tried mount my old HDD and import the Steam library my computer just froze. Every time I opened Steam after that the kernel panicked. I didn’t know it was a kernel panic at the time. I ended up dismounting the NTFS drive and uninstalling the duplicate games.

    I wonder if I can dig up the old kernel panic logs with this.
