This is very cool. I run a website for a charity and this had certainly made me reflect on how I could reduce its power consumption (even with it hosted on 100% renewable power servers)

Couple this with SLDL which can use Spotify URLs. I haven’t used it (yet) but was recommended to me for the same thing you’re wanting to do.
Oh look, I can get Google search results without using Google. And my privacy and sanity is protected.
I have been an Arch user for a decade. This year I switched to CachyOS to give it a go. Performance (for me at least) has indeed improved but its not a massive jump.
I don’t find it particularly ‘bloated’. There wasn’t much I had to uninstall after installation and the installer gives you the option to deselect packages. List of packages here: https://github.com/CachyOS/cachyos-calamares/blob/cachyos-systemd-qt6/src/modules/netinstall/netinstall.yaml
Its also not as simple as many people claim to switch to CachyOS just by changing repos. CachyOS also has some of its own configs that would also need to be imported. I found it was easier just to install Cachy and remove unwanted packahes than switch repos on my Arch install and fiddle around with a bunch of configs and change some packages and settings.
So far I have found CachyOS a little more buggy than my install of Arch. But not so much that I want to switch back. So far the slight performance increases are keeping it worth it.
If, gods forbid, CachyOS ever stopped being maintained, it will be easy to switch back to vanilla Arch.
I know this is an older thread but I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. I am long haired and always move my hair out of the way bending over and whatnot. I love long hair but I don’t like it getting in my eyes or tickling my nose so it becomes habit to hold it out the way of my face.
