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
