Add `notes/proton/ffxiv.md` after following the same instructions to create a proton prefix for that game!

Can we detect the disk the installer is on and skip it when doing lsblk check for selecting disks to format?

with my new desktop I will at the very least give this a try!

- Research whether we can add SIGINT support to terminal login (like Debian) to cancel quickly after typo
	- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1942165#p1942165

- attempt to transition to `sway` and `wayland`
- replace `virtualbox` with `kvm`?
- experiment with `fcitx-mozc` for IME support

- try out alternative file browsers with these goals:
	- image thumbnail support, including webp
	- folder thumbnails!!!
- Suggested FB:
	- Dolphin
		- requires generic package with options thus conflicting automated install...
	- Nautilus
	- Thunar
		- same theme support as pcmanfm, so far looks great!
		- no support for webp even with custom thumbnailer; _may require a reboot?_
		- _need to rewrite directory thumbnailer_
- investigate `libfm`/`pcmanfm` plugins/enhancements to:
	- support directory thumbnails
		- https://github.com/gcavallo/pcmanfm-covers
		- https://sourceforge.net/p/pcmanfm/bugs/1020/
	- support `webp` thumbnails, including animated `webp`
		- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webp-thumbnailer/


- try out i3 window manager
- try out `docky` as a combined replacement for `gmrun` and `tint2`
- experiment with tint2 alternatives (menubar):
	- dzen
	- lemonbar
	- polybar
	- yabar
	- i3blocks
	- stalonetray
- experiment with notification services (_I don't use one personally_):
	- dunst
	- statnot
	- twmn
- experiment gmrun alternatives (launchers; _would love one that can do math_):
	- rofi
	- albert
	- dmenu
	- kupfer

I'd like to look into replacing `startx` and `xinit` with systemd unit file to launch the desktop on-demand.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User#Xorg_as_a_systemd_user_service

Looks like the systemd approach does work with minor caveats.  So long as I can work with those I think this would be an excellent choice.
