Spell checking

Hunspell is a spell checker and morphological analyzer library used by Firefox, Thunderbird, Chromium, LibreOffice and more.

Install the following packages to enable system-wide spell checking and hyphenation support (add languages for hunspell and hyphen at your discretion):

pacman -S hunspell hunspell-de hunspell-en_US hyphen hyphen-de hyphen-en

Fonts

For most desktop environments, a sufficient number of fonts is installed as dependencies. However, there's several additional packages for different styles and writing systems (latin vs. non-latin scripts). Arch Wiki has an extensive list of available fonts in both the repositories and the AUR. Installing the Noto font family also provides a vast coverage over a large array of scripts.

Configuration

Most applications read the font configuration provided by the fontconfig library. These configurations are written in XML and read from several different locations.

Location	Description
`/etc/fonts/fonts.conf`	Master configuration file (not for editing!)
`/etc/fonts/conf.d`	System-wide additional drop-in configuration files, hand-written or as symbolic links
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf`	Per-user config file
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d`	Per-user additional drop-in configuration files, hand-written or as symbolic links

Configuration files are read in and applied in lexical order. If you need rules applied in a specific order, make sure to prepend them with 2-digit numbers in the order you need.

A minimal fontconfig configuration file contains these headers:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

  <!-- settings go here -->

</fontconfig>

Some font packages come with pre-defined rule sets, which are installed to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/. To apply them, it's best to create symbolic links to them in their respective drop-in configuration directories.

To apply them system-wide, link them from the /etc/fonts/conf.d directory:

cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
sudo ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf

To apply them only to the currently logged in user, link them in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d directory:

HINT: The environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME should point to the .config sub-directory in your home directory. If it doesn't, use $HOME/.config instead for the examples or set it with export.

mkdir $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d
ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/conf.d

Emoji Fonts

There are a few emoji fonts available on Arch.

Name	Package	Description
JoyPixels	`ttf-joypixels`	formerly EmojiOne, part of Emoji as a Service, proprietary
Noto Color Emoji	`noto-fonts-emoji`	Google open-source emoji font, color
Twemoji (Twitter Emoji)	`ttf-twemoji` (AUR)	Emoji for everyone, originally created by Twitter

Install your selected emoji font:

pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji

Applications requesting emoji to be displayed should pick up on the font after restarting them.

NOTE: KDE sometimes applies emoji fonts incorrectly, either not showing them at all or showing the outline symbol version from a different font. You can fix this by installing noto-color-emoji-fontconfig from the AUR and creating a symbolic link to the configuration file as shown above.

Polkit

polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes: It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect to granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged applications.

Custom rules

Mount disks as user

Edit/create /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-udisk.rules

// Original rules: https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/wiki/Permissions
// Changes: Added org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system, as this is used by Dolphin.

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  var YES = polkit.Result.YES;
  // NOTE: there must be a comma at the end of each line except for the last:
  var permission = {
    // required for udisks1:
    "org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount": YES,
    "org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock": YES,
    "org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-eject": YES,
    "org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-detach": YES,
    // required for udisks2:
    "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount": YES,
    "org.freedesktop.udisks2.encrypted-unlock": YES,

    "org.freedesktop.udisks2.power-off-drive-other-seat": YES
  };
  if (subject.isInGroup("storage")) {
    return permission[action.id];
  }
});

Firefox

Install Firefox via these packages (adjust for your desired locale):

pacman -S firefox firefox-i18n-de

Wayland

Wayland is not yet the default display manager for Firefox (it falls back to XWayland on Wayland). To force Firefox to use Wayland you can set the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND environment variable to 1. Use user specific systemd environment variable configs to set it:

echo "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" >> ~/.config/environment.d/moz_wayland.conf

Media Playback

Autoplay in background

Firefox prevents autoplay for media of tabs that aren't currently active, which causes apps like Plex to take very long to skip to the next track after the current one has ended. The following setting in about:config can be used to disable this behavior:

Setting key	Value	Description
`media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground`	`false`	Enable autoplay when tab is not currently active

Hardware Decoding

Utilizing GPU hardware accelerated decoding of video content results in smoother playback of HD/4K content, while reducing CPU load and power draw (important to save on battery on laptops).

To ensure Firefox uses hardware decoding ensure the following:

The necessary VA-API drivers are installed (see: Graphics Cards)
Navigate to about:support and ensure that under Compositing it says WebRender (WebRender Software will not work)
Navigate to about:config and set media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to true
If running Wayland, enable Wayland mode in Firefox (see above)

Verify hardware video decoding

To verify Firefox is actually using VA-API to decode video you can launch it with the following command:

MOZ_LOG="FFmpegVideo:5" firefox 2>&1 | grep 'VA-API'

Start playing some video in Firefox and watch the logs on your terminal. If your log output reads something like the following video decoding via VA-API is working.

[RDD 97685: MediaPDecoder #1]: D/FFmpegVideo FFVPX: Initialising VA-API FFmpeg decoder
[RDD 97685: MediaPDecoder #2]: D/FFmpegVideo FFVPX:   VA-API FFmpeg init successful

KDE Plasma Integration

For better integration of Firefox into the KDE Plasma desktop, install the Plasma Integration add-on either via the Mozilla Add-on page. It enables rich notifications support and download progress integration into the notification area of KDE Plasma.

Media Playback Controls

To prevent duplicate entries in the Media Player widget or tray icon, set media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled to false. This disables the media entry from Firefox itself and only uses the one from the Plasma integration add-on.

KDE Dialogs

By default, Firefox uses GTK file and print dialogs, even on KDE. To change this to KDE native dialogs navigate to about:config and change the appropriate widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal settings to 1.

Google Chrome

Install Google Chrome from AUR:

yay -S google-chrome

Tweaks

To enable hardware accelerated video decoding (with open source drivers) create a file at ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf and add the following line in it:

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder

Additionally, if you need to be able to share your screen wie WebRTC, you need to add the following line as well:

--enable-usermedia-screen-capturing

Furthermore, visit chrome://flags and set the following options to further tweak performance (use the search field to filter):

Setting key	Value	Description
`#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer`	`Enabled`	Uses PipeWire to capture the screen in Wayland sessions
`#enable-gpu-rasterization`	`Enabled`	Uses GPU for rasterization, boosting performance
`#enable-zero-copy`	`Enabled`	Accesses GPU memory directly, boosting performance
`#ozone-platform-hint`	`Auto`	Auto-detects which windowing system is currently in use (X11, Wayland)

Discord

Discord is a proprietary, cross-platform, all-in-one voice and text chat application.

Install Discord from the repositories:

pacman -S discord

Screensharing on Wayland

Currently, it's not possible to reliably share your screen during a call with Discord on Wayland. The current beta builds have support for native screensharing, but sharing audio only works with pulseaudio as the primary sound server.

An alternative client, called Vesktop, has full native support for screen sharing with Discord on Wayland with audio. It can be used instead of the official Discord app.

Install it from the AUR:

yay -S vesktop

Blu-ray

Playback

In order play Blu-Rays install the following packages:

sudo pacman -S libbluray libaacs

Additionally, a KEYDB.cfg file is needed. Download it from the FindVUK Online Database

Extract the ZIP to ~/.config/aacs/:

ATTENTION: You may need to rename the keydb.cfg file to KEYDB.cfg (lower to upper case) for tooling to find it.

unzip keydb_eng.zip -d ~/.config/aacs/

After that use any Blu-Ray capable playback software, e.g. vlc bluray:///dev/sr0 to play back Blu-Rays.

Ripping

In order to rip Blu-Rays install MakeMKV from the AUR:

yay -S makemkv

MakeMKV requires the sg (SCSI generic (sg) driver) kernel module to be loaded in order to recognize the drive. To load the module temporarily:

sudo modprobe sg

To have the kernel load the module on each boot:

sudo echo sg > /etc/modules-load.d/sg.conf

Node.js (nvm)

Use the Node Version Manager (nvm) to install Node.js into your current user's path and switch Node.js versions on the fly.

Install nvm via the AUR:

yay -S nvm

Include the init script /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh into your shell configuration to load it each time you start your terminal:

# bash
echo 'source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh' >> ~/.bashrc

# zsh
echo 'source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh' >> ~/.zshrc

Restart your terminal to reload all init scripts and you should be able to use nvm to install a Node.js version of your choice:

nvm install 12

Migrating globally installed `npm` packages

When you install and switch to a different nvm managed version of Node.js (nvm install 14 or nvm use 16) you may find that your globally installed npm packages (e.g. svgo) are no longer available until you switch back to the specific version of Node.js you have been using before the upgrade or switch.

This is because globally installed npm packages are installed for the specific version of Node.js you happen to be using at the time of installation and placed in a directory i.e. ~/.nvm/versions/node/v16.14.0/lib/node_modules. When you install a different version, e.g. 17.2.0 the path to your Node.js installation changes to ~/.nvm/versions/node/v17.2.0/lib/node_modules.

Use the --reinstall-packages-from=<version> option to carry over globally installed packages to the new Node.js installation.

You can either pass a specific version you want to reinstall globally installed packages from or use bash string expansion to reinstall from the currently active one in use:

nvm install <new version> --reinstall-packages-from=<old version>

nvm install 17 --reinstall-packages-from=$(node -v)

KVM

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a hypervisor built into the Linux kernel.

Install libvirt Packages

yay -S qemu libvirt edk2-ovmf virt-manager nfs-utils virtio-win

# optional dependencies
iptables-nft dnsmasq   # for default NAT/DHCP networking
bridge-utils           # for bridged networking
openbsd-netcat         # for remote management over SSH

Add user to libvirt groups
```
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
```
Start libvirtd daemon
```
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
```

Create network bridge with nmcli

nmcli connection add type bridge ifname br0 con-name "Netzwerkbrücke" stp no
nmcli connection add type bridge-slave ifname enp39s0 con-name "Ethernet" master br0
nmcli connection down "Kabelgebundene Verbindung 1"
nmcli connection up "Netzwerkbrücke"

When using bonding of interfaces, disable IPv4 and IPv6 on the bridge

nmcli con mod "Netzwerkbrücke" ipv4.method disabled ipv6.method ignore

Define bridge network XML file, e.g. as br0.xml

<network>
  <name>br0</name>
  <forward mode='bridge'/>
  <bridge name='br0'/>
</network>

Add bridge network to virt-manager

virsh -c qemu:///system net-define br0.xml
virsh -c qemu:///system net-autostart br0

Disable COW on Btrfs (optional, recommended)
```
sudo chattr +C /var/lib/libvirt/images
```

Define a remote storage pool (e.g. remote ISO images) remote-iso.xml

<pool type="netfs">
  <name>iso</name>
  <source>
    <host name="dragonhoard"/>
    <dir path="/Download/Software/ISOs"/>
    <format type="auto"/>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images/iso</path>
  </target>
</pool>

Add storage pool to virt-manager

virsh -c qemu:///system pool-define remote-iso.xml
virsh -c qemu:///system pool-autostart iso

Create the storage pool mountpoint

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/libvirt/images/iso

Installlation

yay -S foldingathome opencl-amd

Configuration

Run FAHClient --configure as root to generate a configuration file at /etc/foldingathome/config.xml:

cd /etc/foldingathome
FAHClient --configure

Then start/enable the foldingathome.service systemd unit. NVIDIA users should also enable the foldingathome-nvidia.service systemd unit.

Example Configuration

<config>
  <!-- Slot Control -->
  <power v='FULL'/>

  <!-- User Information -->
  <passkey v='1234567890'/>
  <team v='45032'/>
  <user v='Registered_User_Name'/>

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
</config>

Timeshift

IMPORTANT: Timeshift is not a backup tool! It only creates local snapshots of the system to roll back changes to the system. Do not rely on this mechanism to keep your data safe! Timeshift deletes the oldest snapshot when a new one is created and the maximum number of snapshots is reached. Furthermore, if the underlying file system is corrupted, the snapshots will be, too! Use a proper backup tool to keep your data safe on external data storage!

Timeshift helps create incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals, which can then be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system.

It supports rsync snapshots for all filesystems, and uses the built-in snapshot features for Btrfs drives configured to use the @ and @home subvolume layout for root and home directories respectively.

Installation

Timeshift is available from the Arch repos. It uses cron to make regularly scheduled backups. Install Timeshift with a cron daemon, e.g. cronie:

pacman -S timeshift cronie

Start and enable the cron scheduler for Timeshift to take regular snapshots:

sudo systemctl enable --now cronie

Finally, start Timeshift and complete the first time setup.

Automatic snapshots on system changes

In addition to Timeshift's periodic spanshots, timeshift-autosnap provides a pacman hook to create a manual snapshot every time packages are installed, upgraded or removed.

Install timeshift-autosnap from the AUR:

yay -S timeshift-autosnap

By default timeshift-autosnap only keeps 3 snapshots. To change this, edit /etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf and either set deleteSnapshots to false to never delete any snapshots or increase the number of maxSnapshots:

skipAutosnap=false
deleteSnapshots=true
maxSnapshots=7
updateGrub=true
snapshotDescription={timeshift-autosnap} {created before upgrade}

Prevent excessive snapshotting when using `yay`

By default, when installing or updating multiple packages from the AUR, yay first builds a package and immediately calls pacman to install it, before building and installing the next one on its list. This also means that the timeshift-autosnap hook is triggered for each individual AUR package built by yay, including dependencies also installed from the AUR.

This can have undesireable side-effects:

yay will cause timeshift-autosnap to reach the maxSnapshots limit very quickly when installing multiple packages from the AUR, leaving you with snapshots with little to no meaningful changes between them
if deleteSnapshots is set to false the amount of snapshots might quickly exhaust the usable space on the drive

To prevent this it is recommended to configure yay to:

not remove make dependencies after successfully built packages are installed
build all AUR packages first, install them all later
install AUR packages together with regular repo packages

By calling yay with the --save parameter, any options passed to it will be saved in a configuration file, e.g.:

yay --noremovemake --batchinstall --combinedupgrade --save

Next time you use yay to install, upgrade or remove packages it will read the generated config file at ~/.config/yay/config.json and apply the options automatically without having to specify them during use.
