-## 💡 Concept
-This script is designed to enhance your Arch Linux system for gaming and multimedia use. It operates in three stages:
-1. **System Update**: Brings your system up to date.
-2. **Driver**: Detect driver and install correct driver
-3. **Package Installation**: Automatically installs core gaming and multimedia software.
-4. **System Cleanup**: Frees up space by cleaning unnecessary cache files.
+## 🚀 Quick Start

-### 🚦 Before everything !
-#### 1. Enable the Multilib Repository
-To use certain packages, you need to enable the multilib repository:
