About the udev rules and HD, there is another udev rules that I 
implement, specially with the WD hd and generally with the SMART HD (not 
for SSD), to avoid an excessive use of the disk and to broke it: the 
<193 Load_Cycle_Count> SMART capabilities. If active it "overwork" the 
HD and the risk is to have it to crash in a year...

I use this parameters:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sdX", RUN+="/usr/bin/hdparm 
-B 255 -S 200 /dev/sdX"

created into the files: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules. Obviously 
with hdparm installed

I found also another "small" problem with old PC using old NVIDIA card, 
I've also a notebook with a GEForce 7950. These old graphics card are no 
longer supported in Arch (304xx driver) and with nouveau there are a lot 
of problems with Plasma (!!!) and its practically unusable. I solved all 
adding the file a.sh in .config/plasma-workspace/env, adding it to the 
startup with the option Before the system startup with the parameters:

export KWIN_COMPOSE=O1

export KWIN_EXPLICIT_SYNC=0

export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1

export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1

and all work like a charms: I'm able to see H265 movie with a so old 
Notebook (Dell Inspiron 9400).

Anyway: I appreciate a lot the work, very well done, and Artix must do 
more advertising ;-)
