I found a external drive and made a dual boot. I just thought i should let you all know.

Thoughts?

    good on you, NVIDIA drivers are very decent these days, on wayland in particular. Glad to see someone rocking an Xeon chip, they are great chips.

    And I just learned that CachyOS is based on Arch! I just began dual booting fedora (nobara) with arch, but went with river as the wayland compositor, because I heard good things. KDE is a great DE, keep learning linux, it’s a lot of fun!

    Have fun with CachyOS! It’s what I’m using as my daily driver right now. Protip for BTRFS: learn how to rollback to a previous snapshot before you need to. It makes it a lot less stressful.

    Immediate recommendation with KDE: your Windows key and the ~ key pressed together will bring up the ability to set snapping zones for windows. Very helpful tool, especially if you were a fan of “FancyZones” in Windows

      I don’t know if the key bind changed, but it’s meta (windows key) + t, now. I only know because I read a very recent article from KDE about how the latest plasma -I’m on 6.4.3- tweaked it to be better.

      I really like it, it has the option to create window gaps similar to how i3-gaps is.

      Then hold the shift key when dragging a window to make it snap.

        yeah it’s meta+t for me too.
        is there a way to snap a window so it occupies 2 zones? i have a vertical monitor divided into thirds and sometimes i want a window to be 2 thirds tall :p

          You can delete a zone and then an adjacent one takes up the space. Then click and drag the area between the now 2 zones to resize.

          I think they’re unique to virtual environments too, now. So maybe make a virtual environment for when you want it 2 zones tall. Idk how to do that though, as I have never messed around with virtual environments.
