## Base Tools

```bash
pacman -S rsync which git iperf3 pwgen
```

## ZSH

```bash
pacman -S zsh grml-zsh-config
chsh -s $(which zsh)
echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" > ~/.zshrc
```

## Podman

1. `pacman -S podman buildah cni-plugins slirp4netns`
2. `podman pull docker.io/debian:latest`
3. `podman run -it debian:latest bash`

## QEMU/KVM

1. Install virtualization capabilties

    ```bash
    pacman -S qemu-full libvirt iptables-nft dnsmasq virt-manager qemu-desktop swtpm
    usermod -aG libvirt ducoterra
    ```

2. Edit /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf

    ```conf
    ...
    unix_sock_group = 'libvirt'
    ...
    unix_sock_rw_perms = '0770'
    ...
    ```

3. Edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

    ```conf
    # Some examples of valid values are:
    #
    #       user = "qemu"   # A user named "qemu"
    #       user = "+0"     # Super user (uid=0)
    #       user = "100"    # A user named "100" or a user with uid=100
    #
    user = "ducoterra"

    # The group for QEMU processes run by the system instance. It can be
    # specified in a similar way to user.
    group = "ducoterra"
    ```

4. `sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd`
5. `sudo virsh net-autostart default`

If you get a blank screen when launching a VM check that you've used the correct bios -
either secboot or not secboot. This is the most common problem.

### Arch Guests

In order to get drivers for spice you'll need the guest spice drivers:

```bash
sudo pacman -S qemu-guest-agent spice-vdagent
```

## Kubernetes

```bash
pacman -S kubectl helm
```

## VSCode

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

```bash
sudo pacman -S code
```

For the proprietary version of vscode install `yay` and then:

```bash
yay -S visual-studio-code-bin
```

### Shell

Edit settings.json

```json
{
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh",
}
```

### Fonts

Intel One Mono is designed to be easily readable for developers.

<https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono>

Download and extract the ttf.zip

```bash
mkdir ~/.local/share/fonts
rsync -av /path/to/download/*.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts/
```

Edit settings.json

```json
{
    "editor.fontFamily": "IntelOne Mono",
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "IntelOne Mono",
}
```

### Navigation

The best navigation shortcut ever is alt+left and alt+right to move the cursor to it's
previous positions.

```json
[
    {
        "key": "alt+left",
        "command": "workbench.action.navigateBack",
        "when": ""
    },
    {
        "key": "alt+right",
        "command": "workbench.action.navigateForward",
        "when": ""
    }
]
```

### Extensions

To save a list of installed extensions run:

```bash
code --list-extensions >> vscode_extensions.txt
```

To install that list of extensions run:

```bash
cat vscode_extensions.txt | xargs -L 1 code --install-extension
```

## Wireguard

Wireguard requires `linux-headers`. If that isn't installed or is misconfigured your
vpn likely won't activate.
