 You may also want to consider setting up one of the [package repositories][wiki-repos] to obtain automatic updates.
 After the installation, you should have a look at the [post-installation notes][wiki-setup-post], specifically you may want to set up [secure-boot][wiki-secure-boot] and install the proprietary firmware package (usually named `linux-firmware`) if you have not done so already.
