    Looks nice visually, but the theming and widgets are over the top to the point of consuming a large amount of memory at idle. Good out-of-the-box for gamers tho.

    For a more lean Arch, EndeavourOS, ArchLabs, or InstantOS would be a better choice.

      These two statements kind of contradict each other.

      For a more lean Arch, EndeavourOS, ArchLabs, or InstantOS would be a better choice.

      Why exactly?

      Which of these have the Calamares installer, which installers do they use? Can they install LUKS on LVM? archinstall can’t currently, sadly.

      For me, I used plain Arch Linux, since my “advanced” or “unusual” use case of having encryption for my home drive but no encryption for my games seems to be too niche to consider most of the time. However, this gives me the most flexibility in terms of file systems, partition layout and performance…

        EndeavourOS has Calamares. And Garuda too of course.

        What I mean is Garuda has a lot of gaming stuff pre-installed, like Steam client, Wine and the 32bit libraries repo’s enabled already by default, which consumes some memory, but games need them to run.
