I've been using ArcoLinux for nearly a year now, and I'm quite satisfied with it.

I finally chose to dive into Arch yesterday. It required around six hours, mainly because I began in VMWare and needed frequent snapshots. Running the VMWare Tools was frustrating. I followed the official guide from before, and didn’t run into major problems. After understanding the steps, I switched to bare metal. Installing KDE Plasma worked smoothly, and I found a community repo for MESA-GIT with the latest AMDGPU support using OpenGL and Vulkan. There were a few minor hiccups—Discover didn’t display any packages (missing dependency) and MESA-GIT didn’t install automatically until I manually removed Clang. Overall, it took roughly two hours: installing Arch, setting up Plasma, fixing the dependency, and getting MESA-GIT running. Not too bad for my first attempt.

Edit: The keyboard layout was a surprise—spent half an hour trying to get the X11 config file, only to realize you can adjust it quickly in Settings.

Here are some suggestions: Avoid Discover as it doesn't manage optional dependencies. For a graphical package manager, consider pamac-aur from the AUR or Chaotic-AUR. Mesa-Git may have issues; go with Mesa-TKG-GIt instead. If you need OpenCL support on AMD, try opencl-amd available in the AUR or Chaotic-AUR. For gaming with Proton and Wine, you might want to look at the links I shared earlier.

I discovered a Foss guide highlighting seven key adjustments for a standard Arch setup, including Pamac. I plan to explore Conky & Stacer and customize the system too. Thanks for the heads-up—I’ll review it today. The Arch Wiki recommended Mesa-Git, which is why I chose that path. I occasionally do video editing (Kdenlive works well), but I’m not sure if OpenCL is necessary for GPU rendering. Steam was my last priority, so I’ll check your thread once I have time.
