NVME devices are more and more prevalent, especially in the desktop segment. It would make sense to consider them first-class citizen, without depending on initramfs.

I would argue, that the discussion is not specifically applicable to CachyOS case, due to a different target audience defined for the project. For a desktop-first OS, the reported original reasons for building NVME support as a module, are not actually relevant. One is for VM-specific usage, another is for a 3rd-party manufacturer that can't seem to be bothered by using the default Linux driver. The otherwise pros of providing a generic built-in support for the prevalent type of drives in modern desktop systems would outweigh the mentioned cons, in my opinion. |

I just added it as context in general for the discussion to consider also their views :) This was not directly a "no, we do not do it" |
