Just bought a 2nd hand thinkpad T480 and it's really awesome. Love everything about it, specially the keyboard and webcam cover.

Time to install arch on it! Let's keep it minimal: vanilla kernel but with luks+btrfs and efistub as the bootloader. Also, using doas exclusively instead of sudo. systemd-networkd + systemd-resolved + iwd for all networking.

I'm a Xorg diehard boomer. Should I finally give Wayland a try? Are we there yet?

I like sway, although i3 is around if you are into that sort of thing and insist on xorg. Something about sway feels nicer. Very hard to describe but I think I feel a difference using them.

I've used i3 but settled on bspwm. From my brief research I found out that "river" is supposed to be the bspwm wayland equivalent? I'll gitve it a shot
