-Arch is just a better distro, but using arch doesnt instantly make you a

-** 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".

-- 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.

-* Fedora xfce
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: fedora-xfce
- :END:
-Fedora been my go to for quite a while though I sometimes switch
-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.\\

-Fedora xfce can be downloaded

-** Setting up fedora
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: setting_up
- :END:
-Fedora has a little extra setup you wouldn't see in something like linux
-mint though it isn't that bad.
-
-*** Packages
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: packages
- :END:
-You can speed up dnf by adding these to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf\\
-=max_parallel_downloads=20 fastestmirror=True=\\
-\\
-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.
-
-- Setup rpm fusion to get more packages in dnf with the
- [[https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/rpmfusion-setup/][resources
- here]]
-- Install flatpak if not already there using "sudo dnf install flatpak"
- then add [[https://flathub.org/setup/Fedora][flathub]] to get some
- cool apps!
-
-*** Multimedia
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: multimedia
- :END:
-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.
-
-- Update your system with =sudo dnf upgrade=
-- Install the new packages with =sudo dnf group install multimedia=
-- Install the old ones with these three commands in a row:
- - =sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base} gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel=
- - =sudo dnf install lame\* --exclude=lame-devel=
- - =sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing=

-** Nvidia drivers
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: nvidia
- :END:
-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.
-
-- Follow the fedora docs on nvidia
- [[https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/set-nvidia-as-primary-gpu-on-optimus-based-laptops][here]]
-- Also look at the rpmfusion docs on nvidia
- [[https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA][here]]
-- Follow the archwiki on nvidia in lightdm
- [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus#LightDM][here]].
-- For multi monitor refresh rate issues add these to your

-** Xfce DE
- :PROPERTIES:
- :CUSTOM_ID: xfce-de
- :END:
-Indeed the best DE out there.
-
-By default xfce is a very plain desktop and looks kind of old and shitty
-(like this website), but it can look and feel great with some work!
-
-- Install nicer icons like papirus, can never go wrong with papirus
- icons. then set them as your icon theme
-- Install a better theme. Some good ones are:
- - [[https://drasite.com/flat-remix-gtk][flat-remix]]
- - [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1681313/][gruvbox]]
- - [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/2098041][DoorMaker]]
- - [[https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1394325][BaZik]]
-- Install kvantum and kvantum-qt5 to change qt themes. Add this to
- =/etc/environment= for kvantum to work:\\
- =QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum=
-- Whisker menu for those who want a more modern menu:
- - Install whisker menu for a way better menu
- - Go into the panel settings to remove the old one and change it to
- whisker menu.
-- Enable clipman as one of the startup apps for a kde like clipboard.
-- Make some nicer keybinds:
- - Bind =xfce4-popup-whiskermenu= to something like alt+f1 than use
- xcape to bind it to super to get around the xfce super key bug. Add
- =xcape -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'= 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.
- - Bind "super+v" to =xfce4-clipman-history= to make it feel more like
- the kde clipboard
-- 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.
-- Go into "Window Manager" and set a cooler window style and more sane
- shortcuts for virtual desktops.
-- Go into "Window Manager Tweaks" and fuck around with the compositor
- settings for cool clear things.

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