## Discord
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S discord
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
### autostart
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/steam-native.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### mangohud
|
|
|
|
Start steam with mangohud
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S mangohud lib32-mangohud
|
|
cp /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop:
|
|
|
|
```conf
|
|
Exec=/usr/bin/mangohud /usr/bin/steam-native %U
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Scaling
|
|
|
|
On HiDPI screens you might need to manually scale the steam interface. This can be done by editing
|
|
the .desktop file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit `~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop`
|
|
|
|
```conf
|
|
Exec=/usr/bin/mangohud /usr/bin/steam-runtime -forcedesktopscaling 2 %U
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Streaming
|
|
|
|
See [Sunshine and Moonlight](#sunshine-and-moonlight) first! It's much better than steam streaming.
|
|
|
|
Works great from Arch hosts to Arch guests with a little configuration.
|
|
|
|
1. wifi
|
|
|
|
Your wifi should be isolated to the fastest band you have available at the widest channel width on
|
|
the least populated channel. BSS Transition and Fast Roaming are the only settings I enable since
|
|
they do make a difference for video calls and streaming while moving from room to room but don't
|
|
cause interference or connectivity issues like the other settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. host
|
|
|
|
Your host settings don't matter too much since you'll be limited to Steam's compatibility with
|
|
Arch's mesa drivers, the current kernel version, and whether Mercury is retrograde. Steam does a
|
|
pretty good job automatically selecting the correct libraries and capture mechanism. Here are
|
|
the settings I use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Client
|
|
|
|
Here's where things start to matter. As of kernel `6.7.6-arch1-2`, `mesa 1:24.0.2-1`,
|
|
`libva 2.20.0-1`, `mesa-vdpau 1:24.0.2-1`, and `libvdpau 1.5-2` hardware decoding works on Arch
|
|
with AMD integrated graphics on both my framework (Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics) and my
|
|
Steam Deck.
|
|
|
|
In the steam advanced client settings select "Enhanced 4k" to start. Do not change
|
|
the Resolution limit. Decoding at the native resolution of your screen will always perform
|
|
better than using a non-native resolution. In my testing even lower resolutions result in
|
|
20-30ms of additional delay over native. Framerate limit should stay at automatic. This will try
|
|
to match the streaming framerate to your display's refresh rate. You can set this to 60 if
|
|
things are lagging too much. Bandwidth limit can be adjusted up and down to fit your wifi's
|
|
limitations if you are experience frame drops and stuttering. If you experience issues like
|
|
crashing on launch, blank screen or strange artifacts disable hardware decoding. HEVC and low
|
|
latency networking have never caused me issues. Here are my settings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And to show what a properly configured client can do, here's Crab Champions streamed to my
|
|
laptop at 2k, 99fps. Note the streaming latency is ~10ms and the dark blue (encode time), light
|
|
blue (network transmit time), and red (decode time) lines are extremely close together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My Steam Deck performs about the same but with a lower (~7ms) streaming latency. This is
|
|
expected because the steam deck streams at 1280x720 which means faster encode and transmit.
|
|
|
|
If the red line is far above the blue lines it means your decoding (software or hardware) is
|
|
struggling to keep up. Either it's not decoding at native resolution (likely transforming the
|
|
decoded frame to match the display resolution) or your cpu/gpu is doing something else.
|
|
|
|
If the light blue line is far above the dark blue line your wifi is slow. Increase channel
|
|
width, increase transmit power, ensure devices are connected to 5 or 6Ghz, and ensure your
|
|
device has the latest drivers.
|
|
|
|
If the dark blue line is far above the x axis of the graph your host is struggling to encode
|
|
fast enough. Likely the host's cpu/gpu is doing something else or it's an old computer
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sunshine and Moonlight
|
|
|
|
<https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/>
|
|
|
|
Sunshine is desktop streaming service that leverages hardware encoding to provide near-zero latency
|
|
network streaming to any device that can run moonlight.
|
|
|
|
### Install Sunshine
|
|
|
|
The flatpak seems to work well. The arch package keeps breaking due to
|
|
deps. See boost-libs and then libicuuc.so.76.
|
|
|
|
<https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/latest/md_docs_2getting__started.html#install-system-level>
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
flatpak install --system flathub dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
|
|
sudo -i
|
|
flatpak run --command=additional-install.sh dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine
|
|
systemctl enable --now sunshine
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
### Install Moonlight
|
|
|
|
#### Flatpak
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
flatpak install moonlight
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Commands
|
|
|
|
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Q (Moonlight Stream)
|
|
Quit the streaming session (leaving the game running on the host PC)
|
|
|
|
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S (Moonlight Stream)
|
|
Open performance stats overlay (not supported on Steam Link or Raspberry Pi)
|
|
|
|
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + M (Moonlight Stream)
|
|
Toggle mouse mode (pointer capture or direct control)
|
|
|
|
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + V (Moonlight Stream)
|
|
Type clipboard text on the host
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
Sunshine doesn't need a ton of config. For streaming to devices like the steam deck
|
|
and my computer I would recommend adding a new application that uses the `display_scale.py`
|
|
script to set the resolution of the host before connecting.
|
|
|
|
1. Copy `display_scale.py` to your host
|
|
2. Create a new application
|
|
3. Add command: `/home/ducoterra/display_scale.py 1920x1080 1`
|
|
4. Optionally add undo command: `/home/ducoterra/display_scale.py 3840x2160 1`
|
|
5. Save and connect!

### Taking Game Cips
|
|
|
|
1. Install [MPV](#mpv)
|
|
1. Open the video clip in mpv
|
|
1. Press `del` to always show the seek bar
|
|
1. Click the timestamp in the bottom left to show milliseconds
|
|
1. Use `,` and `.` to seek frame by frame to find the start frame
|
|
1. Use the following ffmpeg command to trim clips
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# format start_time and end_time like `00:00:34.000` (hh:mm:ss.mmm)
|
|
export input_file=
|
|
export output_file=
|
|
export start_time=
|
|
export end_time=
|
|
|
|
# -r 30 == frame rate of 30
|
|
# -vf scale scales the output
|
|
ffmpeg \
|
|
-ss $start_time \
|
|
-to $end_time \
|
|
-i $input_file \
|
|
-c:v libx264 \
|
|
-b:v 0 \
|
|
-vf scale=1920:1080 \
|
|
-r 30 \
|
|
$output_file
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Then concat clips with the following
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create mylist.txt
|
|
cat <<EOF > clips.txt
|
|
file '/path/to/file1'
|
|
file '/path/to/file2'
|
|
file '/path/to/file3'
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## MPV
|
|
|
|
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mpv>
|
|
|
|
MPV is an alternative to VLC with a couple key benefits:
|
|
|
|
1. Reverse frame-by-frame seeking
|
|
2. millisecond timestamp
|
|
|
|
These are great for video clipping with ffmpeg.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacman -S mpv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/minecraft-launcher.git
|
|
cd minecraft-launcher
|
|
makepkg -si
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### MultiMC
