36 Pickled Eggs 
For me, the hardest part of getting a new computer is deciding what to run on it. I was tempted to play with #cachyos, but have decided to stick with a #fedora base. But, which spin? I want to give #niri a try, so maybe fedora server + niri or Sway spin + niri. Also new to me is this is my first exposure to Intel Arc graphics.
andi242@36pickledeggs I'd go with a gnome base and add niri on top. gnome brings a lot of things that eases the first 'run' :)
If not a fan of the bloat it brings, follow this thoroughly: https://niri-wm.github.io/niri/Example-systemd-Setup.html / https://niri-wm.github.io/niri/Important-Software.html
Perhaps try in a VM first, get some scripting done and transfer over to the live machine?
