 __ALSO:__ _The amount of swap space is a function of how much ram you have. The minimum, assuming you have at least 8GB of RAM, should be 4GB, up to 1.5 times RAM (ie, 8GB RAM = 12GB swap) if you typically run multiple RAM intensive processes simultaneously. The average user won't need much swap._

+### Add NVMe to mkinitcpio
+
+This step is only necessary if your computer is running PCIe storage rather than SATA. NVMe is a specification for accessing SSDs attached through the PCI Express bus. The Linux kernel includes an NVMe driver, so we just need to tell the kernel to load it. This is done by updating the MODULES variable in mkinitcpio (which is responsible for creating the initial ramdisk).
+
+	nano /etc/nkintcpio.conf
+
+Add __nvme__ to the MODULES variable:
+
+	MODULES="nvme"

+## Set language
+
+Open the locale.gen file and uncomment your preferred language (I'm using en_US.UTF-8):
+
+	nano /etc/local.gen
+
+Now save the file and generate the locale:
+
+	locale-gen
+
+Add your language choice to the locale.conf file:
+
+	echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
+
+Lastly, export the language as an environmental shell variable:
+
+	export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
