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.eject-media": YES,
"org.freedesktop.udisks2.power-off-drive": YES,

"org.freedesktop.udisks2.encrypted-unlock-other-seat": YES,
"org.freedesktop.udisks2.eject-media-other-seat": 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 setmedia.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled
totrue
- 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/
:
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.

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 causetimeshift-autosnap
to reach themaxSnapshots
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 tofalse
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.
