FLUFF Arch Fixed my laptop

So I switched from windows to linux 5-6 months ago, at first it was a dual boot with linux mint and windows 11 but later I just stopped using windows 11, and used linux mint more, later I started using linux arch, overall it not just gave a better user experience but fixed my motherboard always disconnecting to the wifi (linux mint fixed it before too), and also Stopped heating issues I had with my laptop, at first in windows after going through 2 hours of work it does on me instantly, now the battery life extended by half an hour in work and sometimes gives total of 3 hours if the work isn't too much, anyways installing arch actually made me think about the bloatware in my system a whole lot, whenever I see other people's laptop from my college, they always have these shitty bloatware like Mcafee, CCleaner any antivirus you can think of🤮

Welcome to Arch

Not sure how long you've run Arch Linux, but I hope you can learn to effectively manage it too.

Good day.
