Typing this comment from a Note 7 pro, from 2019. Other than lacking os updates, it serves me well for all my usecases.

I used to be on pure Arch for 2.5 years, but currently uses cachyOS. And its so much removes the pain points of arch, as well as giving super fast performance.

• Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
• Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
• CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

(what sereral months of DE/WM hopping made me realize was i am not good at using WM’s. The only one i used atleast few months was openbox in archcraft )

The slowness with libretube mostly origin from the server/instance you selected ( i am not sure though ). Maybe try a different instance ?
