## Usage
Begin by installing CachyOS via the standard GUI installer.
If you intend on using all options provided by this utility, it is best to use systemd-boot, ext4, and to ***un***check the following during installation:
- CachyOS Packages
- cachyos-micro-settings
- cachyos-wallpapers
- CachyOS shell configuration
- Base-devel + Common packages
- X-system
- Network
- modemmanager
- firewall
- packages management
- paru
- octopi
- audio
- pavucontrol
- Some applications selection
- alacritty
- btop
- nano-syntax-highlighting
- vi
- ripgrep
- micro
- nano
- vim
- CPU specific Microcode update packages
- whichever one you don't need
- Firefox and language package
As soon as the system is installed (prior to booting into it), run this utility as root and follow the prompts! That's it.
