Edit /etc/pacman.conf

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
