I just set up my laptop and I want to make it easier for other users. Im using the one with Intel UHD 620 and have added additional 4GB of ram (8GB total). For steam games I use [steam native](https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/steam-native-runtime/) with [proton ge custom](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton-ge-custom-bin), for heroic and gog I use [heroic](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/heroic-games-launcher-bin) (dont confuse with [this one](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/heroic-games-launcher) which did not work for me and the PKGBUILD seems weird)  
To increase performance:

- I made sure packages mentioned [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics#Installation) were installed and that [xf86-video-intel](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=xf86-video-intel) was uninstalled
- Installed [intel-media-driver](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=intel-media-driver) and made sure [linux-firmware](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=linux-firmware) (which is installed by default at the moment of writing) is installed (see [this page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration) to know why)
- [Enabled zram](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/enabling-zram-in-endeavouros/37746)
