Arch Linux

Arch Linux is my go-to Linux distribution.

Environment setup

• If gnome-terminal is not working after installing gnome, check if LANG is set properly.
• If firefox is blurry/refuse to resize under wayland, run it under wayland directly by adding MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 to environment.

GPG

If pacman-keys or yay does not work, check the following:

• Does systemd-resolved work correctly?
• Try change keyserver in both /etc/pacman.d/gnupg and ~/.gnupg/
• Try restart dirmngr: systemctl --user restart dirmngr

If encounter agent refused operation error:

• Check if [The pinentry is set to use the correct TTY].

KVM

• Add a bunch of modules to mkinitcpio: vfio mdev virtio-net virtio-blk virtio-scsi virtio-balloon
• Allowing kvm group to access virtio: KVM

Checklist

• zsh
• neovim / neoroedeer
• texlive
• gpg
