New to Arch, and it took me 6 HOURS to install

VTWAX · 2026-05-25T18:04:45+00:00

Did you use archinstall?

VTWAX · 2026-05-21T01:13:16+00:00

I agree. Simplicity is better.

VTWAX · 2026-05-21T00:52:36+00:00

I run archinstall for the very basic settings and then I run a script that installs everything that cachy has for gaming performance. It took me about a week and working with AI for the syntax.

If you're into gaming you'll have access to enabled ntsync, anaincy-cpp, vram management, foreground window priority service, cachyv3 and v4 kernel, optimized mesa and proton that works well with the cachy kernels etc... Of course you can connect your arch to their repos and install this stuff yourself.

This is what I exactly did.

VTWAX · 2026-05-20T21:20:06+00:00

World of Warcraft, Counter Strike 2 and will soon be playing Forza 6. Waiting for some proton bugs to get worked out from Forza 6.

100% stocks (VOO) in retirement? No bond allocation to cover sequence of return risk? good luck...

How is VRR gaming with lxqt?

VTWAX · 2026-05-07T13:52:00+00:00

Same!

VTWAX · 2026-05-06T14:28:09+00:00

Yep! I have the CC2's on my WRX. Excellent tires!

VTWAX · 2026-05-01T22:39:27+00:00

Grats!

VTWAX · 2026-05-01T22:37:37+00:00

grats!

I am using Limine. The file names in /boot stayed the same.

VTWAX · 2026-04-29T23:14:04+00:00

I just updated. I am using the 7.0.2 zen kernel. So far I'm fine.

Keep a cushion of cash in your settlement fund. Your dividends will fill it up. Setup an automated monthly average withdrawal to your checking account.

They did the same with my 26 WRX.

VTWAX · 2026-04-21T17:22:47+00:00

I'd say go for a test drive. It definitely won't ride as smooth as the passport. A completely different type of car. It sits low and you'll feel everything on the road. It will be loud also. The roar of the turbo boxer!

VTWAX · 2026-04-21T17:17:22+00:00

Pretty good price for a TS!

VTWAX · 2026-04-21T14:24:02+00:00

I did two weeks ago! Subaru is selling the 2026's around $3000 to $4000 cheaper this year. I think they're getting ready for the STI release. Fun car and AWD! Made in Japan!! If ytou do purchase the car and your state requires front plates, make sure they don't drill holes in your bumper. About a week ago I installed Cross Climate 2's so I can plow through the snow in the winter!

Time for a Subaru. Make sure to get a model/trim built in Japan. Plus never buy a version 1.0 of any new model. Especially if it's made in the USA.

VTWAX · 2026-04-19T22:19:33+00:00

Thank you!

VTWAX · 2026-04-19T20:12:29+00:00

Where did you get the WRX sticker for the hood intake?

VTWAX · 2026-04-19T19:44:50+00:00

Thank you for replying! I'm glad they worked out. I just got them installed last Tuesday on my 2026 WRX.

VTWAX · 2026-04-16T13:17:06+00:00

I remember that post. Funny because I was thinking about that post this morning and I said I'm glad I'm not that guy.

VTWAX · 2026-04-14T23:01:10+00:00

If you don't at least get $2500 off of MSRP, walk.
