It's an open source bios. There are only builds for a certain few laptops and it involves opening it up and flashing the bios chip

Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.
For some reason, the best word to describe it in my mind is "fun". Just fun to learn and play with, fun to install, fun to configure and customize, and fun to daily drive. Definitely not fun when a random package update breaks your system (looking at you grub), but that hardly ever happens anymore provided you don't enable the testing repo.
Also pacman is the fastest package manager I've ever used.

If you want to disable Intel Management Engine, the always-on backdoor built into every Intel CPU and/or want as much software as possible on your machine to be FOSS
Also it boots much faster than most stock bios.

I hate my mother
Oof. My mother has borderline personality disorder (BPD), and I have definitely felt similar to this throughout my life.
Have you checked out r/raisedbynarcissists or r/raisedbyborderlines?
Fyi, if you haven't learned it yet, you will learn soon in your life that attempting to help/fix her is an absolutely pointless endeavor. Point blank, full stop. It only hurts you. Cluster B personality disorders (which your mom shows sooo many signs of) are notoriously terrible at being helped, even by trained therapists. You must keep her at arms length, and focus on healing yourself.

Tried reaching out to my mom to see if we can try and mend our relationship. Didn't feel great, I want to try again though
A therapist would be very helpful in navigating your relationship with her.

Bear in Denali National Park
For those who don't know, it is decently rare to see wildlife in Denali when compared to somewhere like Yosemite or Yellowstone. The winters are so cold, dark, and harsh, that 1 in 3 animals die every winter. Also, each animal needs a huge amount of space compared to other parks, because they have to eat crazy amounts of food to stock up fat for the winter.
Btw, it is a beautiful park in a beautiful state, and mount Denali is a stunning site if you are lucky enough to see it on a clear day. Everyone should visit Alaska at some point in their life.

Yes I think I found it, kwin_wayland is segfault'ing randomly, causing the whole session to crash and restart.
Not sure how to fix that though ...

Yeah, you have to be braindead trust a game developer with any kernel level software.
I think a more secure solution would be some kind of virtualized environment to run the game within, which the developer could have full control over, but I doubt that will ever come about.

I mean, all the other major killers are more-or-less preventable before your body reaches it's general decline into dysfunction from old age.
Heart disease and cancer alone kill more than like everything else combined, the former being largely preventable with proper lifestyle and diet.
