You can use btrfs as your storage driver by following these instructions: ## QEMU/KVM Install virtualization capabilties ```bash # DNSMasq is required - do not start it with systemd, qemu will handle that. pacman -S qemu-full dnsmasq virt-manager systemctl enable --now libvirtd 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 use the AUR: ```bash cd ~/aur git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/visual-studio-code-bin.git cd visual-studio-code-bin makepkg -si ``` ### Shell Edit settings.json ```json { "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh", } ``` ### Fonts Intel One Mono is designed to be easily readable for developers. 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": "Intel One Mono", "editor.fontLigatures": true, "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Intel One 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. ```bash pacman -S wireguard-tools ``` ## Remote Desktop ```bash pacman -S remmina freerdp ``` ## Transmission ```bash pacman -S gtk4 transmission-gtk ``` ## VLC ```bash pacman -S vlc ``` ## Bitwarden ```bash mv ~/Downloads/Bitwarden*.AppImage ~/Applications/Bitwarden.AppImage chmod +x ~/Applications/*.AppImage ``` ```conf [Desktop Entry] Name=Bitwarden Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Bitwarden.AppImage %u Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/bitwarden.png Type=Application ``` ## Nextcloud ```bash mv ~/Downloads/Nextcloud*.AppImage ~/Applications/Nextcloud.AppImage chmod +x ~/Applications/*.AppImage ``` ```conf [Desktop Entry] Name=Nextcloud Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Nextcloud.AppImage Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/nextcloud.png Type=Application ``` ## Insomnia ```bash mv ~/Downloads/Insomnia*.AppImage ~/Applications/Insomnia.AppImage chmod +x ~/Applications/*.AppImage ``` ```conf [Desktop Entry] Name=Insomnia Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Insomnia.AppImage Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/insomnia.png Type=Application ``` ## QMK ### Initialization I have a mirror and a fork of the mirror on my personal Gitea. For this strategy you'll need to checkout the fork and add the mirror. This ensures I'll always have an up-to-date mirror of qmk while also giving me a repo to make changes for my personal keyboards. ```bash git clone git@gitea.reeseapps.com:ducoterra/qmk_firmware.git cd qmk_firmware git remote add mirror git@gitea.reeseapps.com:mirrors/qmk_firmware.git git fetch mirror git rebase mirror/master pacman -S qmk qmk setup sudo cp /home/ducoterra/qmk_firmware/util/udev/50-qmk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ qmk config user.keyboard=keychron/q11/ansi_encoder qmk config user.keymap=ducoterra ``` ### Development Every time you start a project you'll want to sync with the mirror. ```bash git fetch mirror git rebase mirror/master ``` Commit to master while you're in the fork. ## Cura ```bash mv ~/Downloads/*Cura*.AppImage ~/Applications/Cura.AppImage chmod +x ~/Applications/*.AppImage ``` ```conf [Desktop Entry] Name=Cura Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Cura.AppImage Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/cura.png Type=Application ``` ## Creality Print ```bash mv ~/Downloads/Creality_Print*.AppImage ~/Applications/Creality_Print.AppImage chmod +x ~/Applications/*.AppImage ``` ```conf [Desktop Entry] Name=Creality Print Exec=/home/ducoterra/Applications/Creality_Print.AppImage Icon=/home/ducoterra/.icons/creality_print.png Type=Application ``` ## Bambu Studio 1.
