[Boot error] Initramfs unpacking failed after updating to 6.0.1
Change from mkinitcpio to booster. It's faster and produce smaller images.

Dracut or Genkernel?
Neither, use booster.

Booster initramfs release 0.9 got ZFS support
Booster is an initramfs - a type of software that runs early during the boot process and helps to setup system, e.g. perform disk unlock, load extra drivers, setup ZFS filesystem, and so on.

You can end up without any kernel to boot if your computer crashes during a pacman update
I don't have high hopes that this will change in mkinitcpio, but perhaps you could bring it up with booster (which copied the mkinitcpio hooks and removal scripts)

Is There Something To Improve to my arch install "Guide"?
This is my personal preference, but consider switching to booster.

What is your current setup? Bootloader, filesystem, partitions, etc.
initramfs: booster - TPM2 support, way faster than mkinitcpio, autodiscovering root partition

Systemd 250 released
Booster initramfs generator supports TPM, Yubikey and Network binding so you can easily protect your data using the strategy you want.

Mouse events don't get registered when the pointer is on top of Google Chrome. Is there a way to circumvent that?
I have a spare wireless mouse I keep on my nightstand and I made a script to modify its behavior to control media stuff. It's working fine, but not on Chrome specifically. Any mouse even isn't registered at xinput --test DEVICE_ID.

Oh, really? Try using my customization.cfg. Don't just copy it, since added a custom installation path to /opt. I basically changed these:
