* [[Conf/Yawgix-Xorg|Xorg configuration]]
* [[Conf/Yawgix-KDE|KDE configurations and settings]]

==Performance==

* Steamtinkerlaunch config
* CSGO windowed fullscreen minimizing on alt-tab
SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command%

=R&D=
Use some time on normal install to
* Test steamtinkerlaunch https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch from AUR
* Check out mangohud https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud from AUR
* Grab gamemode stuff and steamtinkerlaunch for wiki
* Try kwin-lowlatency or disabling Compositor in System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor, check Enable compositor on startup and restart Plasma
* Try different DEs (lxde, gnome, xfce)
* Refine packages for wiki
* Make determinations about next kernel
** May need to consider package limitations for some (chaotic AUR and AUR don't seem to mix and might need separate installs)
* Make determinations about CPU / GPU testing for kernel
* Make install script for testing setups
