Hello!

I’ve bought new parts and I am awaiting their arrival so I can build my brand new computer. I’ve decided to go for Arch Linux with KDE plasma or perhaps Gnome as my desktop environment but that’s as far as I’ve come.

I figured I would ask the community if they have any tips or suggestions, thanks!

    Once you’ve picked your flavour I’d say choose how you want to partition and manage backups / snapshots. I see you have 2 ssds, so are you planning on raiding them with something like btrfs? Do you want to encrypt your drives?

      No, I am not going to use RAID. The only reason I have two SSDs is just for the extra space for games and all my projects I work on. Drive encryption is not something I have thought about, not sure if it’s beneficial for me.
