-A lot of arch users will get pissed as fuck at me but <b>its ok to use
-arch install</b>. I personally prefer manually installing arch and wouldnt
-want to do it any other way so I dont use it, btw (:<br />
-<br />
-The <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide">offical arch
-installation guide</a> and other resources on the arch wiki is a great way
-to install arch though I also like to use
-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQgyW10xD8s">distro tubes arch
-installation guide</a> alongside the resources. Some arch users may be
-pissed I dare tell people to go watch a youtube video. I am sure most
-arch installation guides on youtube suck but DT's video is killer. Plus
-its not a replacement for the wiki, its just to help follow it a bit
-easier and act as a good jumping off point.<br />
-<br />
-Some things I gotta add is for me DT's video I linked doesnt work 100
-percent. When setting up grub it cant find the efi directory. You gotta
-use a switch to show that command that fails the efi directory. I forgor
-the switch and I am too lazy to look it up but you can find it if the
-<code>--help</code> flag. Also to dual boot with nasty nasty MS Windows(R) you
-gotta install ntfs-3g for it to be able to read MS Windows(R) ntfs(R)
-Microsoft(R) partitions. You also gotta set
-<code>GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false</code> in <code>/etc/default/grub</code> and mount the MS
-Windows(R) directory in the efi directory for OS proper to work
-sometimes.

-<li>Follow <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus#LightDM">a

-<li>Open up the xfce startup app thingy and add

-<li>After reboot you can check the drivers with:
-<ul class="org-ul">
-<li>My prefered way:<br />
-<code>sudo pacman -S mesa-utils glxinfo | grep -E "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"</code></li>
-<li>Another way: <code>nvidia-smi</code></li>

-<li>For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your

-<code>CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=&lt;refresh rate of your sync monitor&gt; __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=&lt;monitor to sync to&gt;</code><br />

-<li>Install nicer icons like papirus, can never go wrong with papirus

-<code>QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum</code></li>

-<li>Bind <code>xfce4-popup-whiskermenu</code> to something like alt+f1 than use
-xcape to bind it to super to get around the xfce super key bug. Add
-<code>xcape -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'</code> as a startup application or whatever
-dummy keybind you binded to whiskermenu. Sadly xfce cant bind
-anything to super key without breaking other shortcuts that use
-super so we have to use xcape in a painful hacky way.</li>
-<li>Bind "super+v" to <code>xfce4-clipman-history</code> to make it feel more like

-<li>Make new windows show up at the mouse by going into the "Window
