## Discord

```bash
mv ~/Downloads/Discord ~/Applications/Discord
```

```conf
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Discord
Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Discord/Discord
Icon=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Discord/discord.png
Type=Application
```

## Steam

<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories#multilib>

Edit /etc/pacman.conf

```conf
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
```

```bash
pacman -S steam
```

When prompted use vulkan-radeon on AMD and vulkan-intel on intel.

### Streaming not working

<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_Remote_Play_issues>

I have no idea what actually fixes steam streaming. While installing the recommended
packages and rebooting does nothing to fix the crashing, starting and enabling `ufw` does? Is it `ufw` in combination with the required packages? I have no idea. Try the following:

1. `pacman -S lib32-libcanberra lib32-libva-intel-driver libva-intel-driver`
2. `systemctl enable --now ufw`

### FSR

<https://linux-gaming.kwindu.eu/index.php?title=FSR_-_FidelityFX_Super_Resolution>

> This sharpens the image. 4 is an example value. 0 is maximum sharpness, higher values mean less sharpening. 5 is the maximum value. The default is 2

```bash
WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2
```

## ProtonUp-QT

<https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/>

```bash
mv ~/Downloads/ProtonUp-Qt*.AppImage ~/Applications/ProtonUp-Qt.AppImage
chmod +x ~/Applications/*.AppImage
```

```conf
[Desktop Entry]
Name=ProtonUp-Qt
Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/ProtonUp-Qt.AppImage
Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/ProtonUp-Qt.png
Type=Application
```

## VSCode

For the open source version of code install `code`:

```bash
pacman -S code
```

## XWayland

Provides compatibility with X server applications (like wine)

```bash
pacman -S xorg-xwayland
```

## Wine

pacman -S wine

## Spotify

## Bitwarden

<https://bitwarden.com/download/>

```bash
mv ~/Downloads/Bitwarden*.AppImage ~/Applications/Bitwarden.AppImage

```

```conf
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Bitwarden
Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Bitwarden.AppImage
Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/bitwarden.png
Type=Application
```

## OBS

```bash
pacman -S obs-studio qt6-wayland
yay -S obs-vkcapture-git
```

Add "Game Capture" to your scene.

Start your games with `env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 %command%`

## Xbox Controller

1. Install bluetooth packages

  ```bash
  pacman -S bluez bluez-plugins bluez-utils
  ```

2. Edit the bluetooth conf and set the controller to bredr

  /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

  ```conf
  ControllerMode = bredr
  ```

3. Now reset the bluetooth service

  ```bash
  systemctl restart bluetooth
  ```

4. Connect your controller
5. Comment out the line in the bluetooth conf you just edited
6. Restart the bluetooth service

## Mangohud

<https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#arch-based-distributions>

```bash
sudo pacman -S mangohud lib32-mangohud
```

```bash
mkdir ~/.config/MangoHud
cp /usr/share/doc/mangohud/MangoHud.conf.example ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
```

Edit `~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf` and tweak as you see fit.

Then add `mangohud env MANGOHUD_CONFIGFILE=/home/ducoterra/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf %command%` to your steam launch.
