For a range of reasons including getting a new nvme I decided that I wanted to reinstall linux on my PC. While I could have chosen linux mint again I decided to try arch. I knew going into this that it would be a far more bare bones experience and force me to learn more about the desktop stack. I practised on a vm a few times to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing and even wrote it in a txt file. I chose to use lusk encryption and hyprland were the main choices as well as both the current and lts kernel as a back up. I however did not want to make a custom hyprland config so I decided to cheat a bit and use ml4w scripts after I installed hyprland and yay. So far I am very happy and believe I learnt a lot.
