zramctl

Note

• SUPER+backspace brings up keybinds
• super+return(enter) brings up terminal(alacritty)
• Incase hyprland fails ctrl+alt+F6(any function keys) to open tty
• Change window resolution in hyprland.conf

Important Things to remember(ONLY FOR ME-PERSONAL)

• Get fastest mirrors with

reflector --sort rate --protocol http,https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

• themes.css in waybar config is soft linked to the desired theme in the themes folder(example:ln -s (or -sf)mocha.css themes.css)
• set default file manger $xdg-mime default thunar.desktop inode/directory
• bash completion
• zsh and plugins(starship)
• all noto fonts

 sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq noto-fonts) --needed

• groups wheel
• ntp
• network manger
• make threds -j$(nproc)
• fstrim.timer
• swapfile(refer to wiki)
• auto-cpufreq
• Check pipewire

pactl info

• Check xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland(obs)
• Blootooth?,Task manager?,powertop?
• wine,lutris
• check for amdgpu kernal driver instead of radeon

lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D|Display)"

• For my amd graphics driver if amdgpu kernal driver is not used set the following kernal parameters(/etc/default/grub)

radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1
radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1

• If discrete gpu is not properly working,then set the following kernal parameter(this will prevent the dGPU from being powered down dynamically at runtime. )

amdgpu.runpm=0

-Then update grub

• For my amd,if needed for vdapu,set env variables in /etc/profile

export VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi

• loginmanager-sddm

pacman -Syu sddm qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-svg qt5-quickcontrols2
sudo cp -r sddm/corners /usr/share/sddm/themes/
sudo cp sddm/genograche.face.icon /usr/share/sddm/faces/

• change sddm configuration in in /etc/sddm.conf.d/sddm.conf(on arch default config is available in /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf)

[Theme]
Current=corners

Ignore the following if dhcpcd is not installed

sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd@(ip link your interface name).service

• If dhcpcd causes the startup to slow then save the folllowing to /etc/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service.d/no-wait.conf

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dhcpcd -b -q %I

• If needed disable dhcpcd ARP probing in \etc\dhcpcd.conf

noarp

• If games in wine doesn't have sound get

winetricks faudio
winetricks xact
