        Oh I get it, yeah I like doing that too, but I do it on Debian instead of Arch because that’s what I installed, and instead of a Thinkpad it’s an ex-chromebook (UEFI flashed, doesn’t support ChromeOS anymore).

    Gosh I wish I was as good as you cuties, I could never get my desktop to work exactly right! All those little things I couldn’t perfect made me so angy I mostly just use Windows…
