Great post. Are you using Vanilla Arch now?
If you aren't comfortable with installing vanilla arch, I highly recommend using ArchLabs which is what I use now. I used to use V. Arch but when I broke my Arch OS, i didn't want to vanilla arch install again. Done it over 15+ times.
ArchLabs is the closest thing to Vanilla Arch, in my exp.,
BTW, I think you should try URxvt instead. URxvt is much more lightweight. It's not the prettiest out of the box, but super customizable.

I'm using ArcoLinux until I feel comfortable enough to leap vanilla arch!
Thanks for recommending ArchLabs! I'll take a look :)
I also saw a video on the Distrotube channel that seems to be pretty helpful

About the terminal emulators, that is another journey I'm just starting now. I heard about urxvt, and looks interesting. Going to try it out later

Awesome! Hands down ArchLabs is the best one there. Great community as well.

A great community is something I see a lot within the Arch and Arch-based universe. That's always a good sing.
