I had played on steam normally today, everything was working normally. Around 2 hours ago, i had to delete remake my global wine prefix to fix a corrupted file, after that, i tried to launch a game on steam, but none of my games were launching. I closed steam, and when i tried to open it again a pop up showed up...

Hey guys! I am the maintainer of [xhidecursor](https://github.com/astier/xhidecursor), a minimal (fr) X11 utility that efficiently (nocap) hides the cursor on key presses and shows it again on mouse movement. Just wanted to announce that I’ve taken over and updated the [AUR...

Do people dual boot Arch and Windows? Especially with me, I have a NVIDIA card, so I can't really afford to jump straight to Linux. I thought about grabbing an AMD card since I'm told they handle VRAM overfill into system RAM quite well

Update: switched out to a different HDMI cable (48gbps certified) and it works. Original post: Hi, long time reader, first time "pls help me 🙏" post Amd Rx 6900xt, Samsung q80t screen, hdmi2.1, Wayland, gnome Been routinely checking in for years to see if the hdmi2.1 fiasco has resolved and was delighted to...

**What this script provides?** Different machine-id to /etc/machine-id so your machine-id never tracked. Different dbus instance working in /home/$USER/$BROWSER-dbus Which provides mpris info about your music/video. Different /home for sandbox. Different /etc/passwd and /etc/groups so sandbox doesnt see your...

I need help installing proton to play minecraft dungeons 1 on arch linux. I have a liscence for the microsoft store, but every proton tutorial ive found online has failed at some stage, because what it say would be there just wasnt. Do any of you know any good and working tutorials?

What the title says. I was just thinking about the similarities between the Chaotic AUR and the nixpkgs Nix repository, and they are much more similar than people realize. Both are pretty open to contributions by pretty much anyone without an entry barrier, but they require verification by a trusted user to be...

In the process of making my own arch flavored distro I built a tool to offline install a system image while preserving a previous btrfs home and encrypting the disk, if the user want

hello! ive used windows my entire life, tried windows11 and it was trash so i switched back to windows 10, it was like less trash but still trash, and bassicly just advertising software, so i modified it using a handful of different softwares, even intentinally bricked a couple system files by hand, but it still...

Today my `sudo pacman -Syu` was met with the error "plasma-workspace-6.8.0-1 and plasma-x11-session-6.7.5-3 are in conflict. Remove plasma-x11-session? \[y/N\]". It looks like Plasma stopped supporting X11 for some reason? Is this it, am I forced to switch? I really don't want to, Wayland is still underbaked in...

I switched from Windows to mint maybe 3 weeks ago, butstill thought it was sort of bloated for me (never use "App store"-type programs for example). Switched to Arch yesterday (im still dualbooting rn to migrate my data but otherwise yes). now i can officially say "i use arch btw" :D

Occasionally I need to copy big files to relatively slow USB sticks. (Usually ISO images to my pendrive with Ventoy to install an OS somewhere or run a rescue mission. BTW if you are still using stuff like Rufus or dd for that purpose, check out Ventoy, it's awesome) And for a long time, a pet peeve of mine was...

I'm currently trying to install Arch on a old laptop, I've done it before and assumed it would be fairly easy however I'm having issues with partitioning disks. Lsblk will show me sda which is the USB stick and nvme0n1 which only sometimes contains partitions already otherwise it shows 0 bytes. Even though it says...

Why? Why doesn’t archinstall’s "recommended KDE Plasma setup" include Konsole? What’s the reasoning behind installing a desktop without a graphical terminal? Having to switch to a TTY just to install one seems unnecessarily awkward. **\[SOLVED\]** Apparently, the reason is that Arch only included the Plasma...

Machine: ThinkPad E14 gen 2, 16 gb ram, 512 gb Iris Xe graphics Tried running wuthering waves, it ran but very laggy, and laptop chassis became hot, although cpu temp was around 70-75°C .
