-          <p>A lot of arch users will get pissed as fuck at me but <b>its ok
-          to use arch install</b>. I personally prefer manually installing
-          arch and wouldnt want to do it any other way so I dont use it, btw
-          (:<br>
-          <br>
-          The <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide"
-          target="_blank">offical arch installation guide</a> and other
-          resources on the arch wiki is a great way to install arch though I
-          also like to use <a href=
-          "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQgyW10xD8s" target="_blank">distro
-          tubes arch installation guide</a> alongside the resources. Some arch
-          users may be pissed I dare tell people to go watch a youtube video.
-          I am sure most arch installation guides on youtube suck but DT's
-          video is killer. Plus its not a replacement for the wiki, its just
-          to help follow it a bit easier and act as a good jumping off
-          point.<br>
-          <br>
-          Some things I gotta add is for me DT's video I linked doesnt work
-          100 percent. When setting up grub it cant find the efi directory.
-          You gotta use a switch to show that command that fails the efi
-          directory. I forgor the switch and I am too lazy to look it up but
-          you can find it if the <code>--help</code> flag. Also to dual boot
-          with nasty nasty MS Windows(R) you gotta install ntfs-3g for it to
-          be able to read MS Windows(R) ntfs(R) Microsoft(R) partitions. You
-          also gotta set <code>GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false</code> in
-          <code>/etc/default/grub</code> and mount the MS Windows(R) directory
-          in the efi directory for OS proper to work sometimes.</p>

-            good old trusty xfce. Your also going to want lightdm with that.
-            Thunar is a quite useable file manager though you can betterize it
-            with gvfs or another opinional packages for cool fancy shit. Or
-            for even more cool fancy things get something like <a href=

-              javascript)</a>
-            </li>
-          </ul>Guide for my system mostly and maybe yours:
-          <ul>
-            <li>Install some packages:<br>
-            <code>sudo pacman -Syu<br>
-            sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings</code></li>
-            <li>Rebuild the initramfs:<br>

-              target="_blank">a guide found here</a> to setup lightdm for
-              nvidia.
-            </li>
-            <li>Open up the xfce startup app thingy and add
-            <code>nvidia-settings --load-config-only</code> as a startup app
-            so your nvidia settings load on login.</li>
-            <li>After reboot you can check the drivers with:
-              <ul>
-                <li>My prefered way:<br>
-                <code>sudo pacman -S mesa-utils<br>
-                glxinfo | grep -E "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"</code></li>
-                <li>Another way: <code>nvidia-smi</code></li>
-              </ul>
-            </li>
-            <li>For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your
-            /etc/environment<br>
-            <code>CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=&lt;refresh rate of your sync
-            monitor&gt;<br>
-            __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=&lt;monitor to sync to&gt;</code><br>

-          desktops lmao. I have tried the gnome version but it doesn't really
-          fit me so most of the time I have used the kde spin though recently
-          kde just haven't been feeling the same. It has been feeling buggy
-          and have been fighting with nvidia drivers. After running xfce on my
-          second computer for a while I grew to really like it and started
-          using it on my main and it have been running much better then
-          kde.<br>
-          <br>
-          Fedora xfce can be downloaded <a href=

-          <h2 id="setting_up">Setting up fedora</h2>
-          <p>Fedora has a little extra setup you wouldn't see in something
-          like linux mint though it isn't that bad.</p>
-          <h3>Packages</h3>
-          <p>You can speed up dnf by adding these to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf<br>
-          <code>max_parallel_downloads=20<br>
-          fastestmirror=True</code><br>
-          <br>
-          The default repos have lots of stuff but you might want an app that
-          isn't in it like steam. I know the gnome version has a enable 3rd
-          party repos button that does everything I listed here but I am on
-          the xfce version and also had to do this on the kde verison.</p>
-          <ul>
-            <li>Setup rpm fusion to get more packages in dnf with the
-              <a href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/rpmfusion-setup/"
-              target="_blank">resources here</a>
-            </li>
-            <li>Install flatpak if not already there using "sudo dnf install
-            flatpak" then add <a href="https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora"
-            target="_blank">flathub</a> to get some cool apps!
-            </li>
-          </ul>
-          <h3>Multimedia</h3>
-          <p>By default fedora doesn't have many codecs and you need to
-          install them yourself. Without them many media files will not work
-          and lots of youtube videos will not be able to play. The fedora docs
-          use to show how to install them but they removed it from their page
-          and instead shows a new version which installs some stuff but not
-          everything. I do both of them to make sure I get all the codecs I
-          need.</p>
-          <ul>
-            <li>Update your system with <code>sudo dnf upgrade</code></li>
-            <li>Install the new packages with <code>sudo dnf group install
-            multimedia</code></li>
-            <li>Install the old ones with these three commands in a row:
-              <ul>
-                <li><code>sudo dnf install
-                gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base}
-                gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav
-                --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel</code></li>
-                <li><code>sudo dnf install lame\*
-                --exclude=lame-devel</code></li>
-                <li><code>sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg

-          <p>Nvidia isn't the best on linux and I like AMD much more though I
-          am stuck with nvidia for now. For xfce there are some extra settings
-          to enable it but it works great once that is done. You will need rpm
-          fusion first before you can install the drivers.</p>
-          <ul>

-            <li>Install kvantum and kvantum-qt5 to change qt themes. Add this
-            to <code>/etc/environment</code> for kvantum to work:<br>
-            <code>QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum</code></li>
-            <li>Whisker menu for those who want a more modern menu:
-              <ul>
-                <li>Install whisker menu for a way better menu</li>
-                <li>Go into the panel settings to remove the old one and
-                change it to whisker menu.</li>
-              </ul>
-            </li>
-            <li>Enable clipman as one of the startup apps for a kde like
-            clipboard.</li>
-            <li>Make some nicer keybinds:
-              <ul>
-                <li>Bind <code>xfce4-popup-whiskermenu</code> to something
-                like alt+f1 than use xcape to bind it to super to get around
-                the xfce super key bug. Add <code>xcape -e
-                'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'</code> as a startup application or whatever
-                dummy keybind you binded to whiskermenu. Sadly xfce cant bind
-                anything to super key without breaking other shortcuts that
-                use super so we have to use xcape in a painful hacky way.</li>
-                <li>Bind "super+v" to <code>xfce4-clipman-history</code> to
-                make it feel more like the kde clipboard</li>
-              </ul>
-            </li>
-            <li>Make new windows show up at the mouse by going into the
-            "Window ManagerTweaks" "Placement" tab, turning the minimum size
-            all the way up and chaning the place windows position to under the
-            mouse pointer.</li>
-            <li>Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window style and
-            more sane shortcuts for virtual desktops.</li>
-            <li>Go into "Window Manager Tweaks" and fuck around with the
-            compositor settings for cool clear things.</li>

-          <h2>Rofi in xfce</h2>The default xfce appfinder been causing me
-          issues lately so I decided to switch to rofi.<br>
-          <br>
-          To make rofi work with my workflow I like to add some binds for it:
-          <ul>
-            <li>Bind <code>rofi -show drun -icon-theme "Papirus-Dark"
-            -show-icons</code> to super+d</li>
-            <li>Bind <code>rofi -show run</code> to super+r</li>
-            <li>Bind <code>rofi -show window -icon-theme "Papirus-Dark"
-            -show-icons</code> to super+w</li>
-          </ul>There is much more I could use rofi for but this is all I need.
