Try installing kwallet-pam. It will remember your secrets through PAM when you log in. Arch does not have kwallet-pam installed by default unless you install via plasma-meta package.
If you use Chromium, you will not be asked for creating a password store as well so that is another bonus for kwallet-pam.

Richard Stallman, the man behind GNU and FSF. He makes a distinction between free software and open source software.
Stallman is not a pragmatist. He quit his job as a professor at MIT because he felt they were forcing him to use proprietary software, which contradicted his ideals.
Linus still keeps Linux on GPLv2 because he disagrees with GPLv3+ and its anti-tivotization clauses. Companies that contribute code back to Linux is good enough for him. Linus has a more pragmatic view.
FSF and OSI have slightly different definitions for software. FSF believes in free and open source software (copyleft i.e. GPL) whereas OSI believes in permissive, open source licenses (i.e. MIT/BSD).
In the 1990s, they had disagreements against each other because FSF and Stallman believe in FLOSS/FOSS and free software advocacy politics. OSI was more concerned with open source workflows and not with free software advocacy politics, which was initially more popular with businesses.
You may want to play around with alsamixer. Some audio cards have really low volume on some of the mixers like PCM out of the box on Linux.
For a lot of people, louder audio subjectively means better sounding audio. (Loudness wars for audio mastering for example.)
