Notes

• For some reason the rEFInd showtools variable is not working properly for me anymore, this is why I have to comment that line on catppucin's mocha file
• An example for the pacman.conf file can be found on EndeavourOS repo. If you plan to use packages like steam, make sure to enable (uncomment) the [multilib] repository
