-Arch is just a better distro, but using arch doesnt instantly make you a
-better linux user. Saying "I am a arch user btw" is still fun and annoys
-people so I keep saying it reguardless.\\

-*Warning: This is a ever changing page due to the fact I havent been
-daily driving arch for long as of writing this and is uncompletish.*

-** Installing arch
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: installing
- :END:
-A lot of arch users will get pissed as fuck at me but *its ok to use
-arch install*. I personally prefer manually installing arch and wouldnt
-want to do it any other way so I dont use it, btw (:\\
-\\
-The [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide][offical arch
-installation guide]] and other resources on the arch wiki is a great way
-to install arch though I also like to use
-[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQgyW10xD8s][distro tubes arch
-installation guide]] 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.\\
-\\
-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
-=--help= 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
-=GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false= in =/etc/default/grub= and mount the MS
-Windows(R) directory in the efi directory for OS proper to work
-sometimes.

-- Make sure you install a good ass DE or WM. No better DE than 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
- [[../linux_room.html#spacefm][spaceFM]]. Just fuck around tbh.
-- If your sound fucking aint working right install sof-firmware.
-- I use [[https://github.com/Jguer/yay][yay]] because it makes life in
- arch easier even though its stupid ass bloat.

-** Nvidia drivers
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: nvidia
- :END:
-A lot can change depending on many things and everything I say has only
-been tested on my machine so read some fucking resources here:
-
-- [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA][Offical nvidia arch wiki]]
-- [[https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide][Some
- strangely helpful github guide]]
-- [[https://medium.com/@sakalakis/how-to-easily-install-the-nvidia-drivers-in-arch-linux-5f1b3f1a5f66][Ewwwww,
- medium site (it strangely works without javascript)]]
-
-Guide for my system mostly and maybe yours:
-
-- Install some packages:\\
- =sudo pacman -Syu sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings=
-- Rebuild the initramfs:\\
- =sudo mkinitcpio -P=
-- Follow [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus#LightDM][a
- guide found here]] to setup lightdm for nvidia.
-- Open up the xfce startup app thingy and add
- =nvidia-settings --load-config-only= as a startup app so your nvidia
- settings load on login.
-- After reboot you can check the drivers with:
- - My prefered way:\\
- =sudo pacman -S mesa-utils glxinfo | grep -E "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"=
- - Another way: =nvidia-smi=
-- For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your
- /etc/environment\\
- =CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=<refresh rate of your sync monitor> __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=<monitor to sync to>=\\
- Then open your nvidia settings, go to OpenGL Settings and turn off
- "Allow Flipping".

-** Tricks
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: tricks
- :END:
-- To clean out shit that builds up in pacman run =sudo pacman -Sc= and
- =sudo pacman -Qdtq | sudo pacman -Rs -=\\
- =-Sc= also works in yay.
