Linux installation checklist.

Installation checklist of my preferred Arch based Linux operating system (OS) Manjaro. Need help? Read the Manjaro wiki or use the remarkably extensive ArchWiki.

  1. Are you a first timer? Backup what you don’t want to lose on a separate medium. It helps if you have a second personal computer (PC) in case something breaks and renders your current PC temporarily unusable.
  2. Download the OS and create the install medium with Ventoy.
  3. To launch the OS from the USB key: reboot and press F12 / some other F-key / delete during the startup to pick/edit the drive to boot from. During the start up process it usually mentions which button to push to change boot device.
  4. Install the OS.
  5. Disable fast startup when dual-booting Windows!

Packages.

I have certain set of software I install on every new machine. Here follows a list I copy paste so I don't have to install everything individually each time.

Default:

sudo pacman -Syu --needed geany geany-plugins gnome-disk-utility gparted yakuake btop dnsutils redshift catfish vivaldi vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs xscreensaver gufw playerctl hunspell hunspell-nl hunspell-en_GB hunspell-fr smplayer okular xfce4-systemload-plugin xfce4-sensors-plugin kdeconnect base-devel peek gst-plugins-good baobab bash-completion yay -S hblock && yay -S qalculate-gtk && yay -S input-remapper-git

Run hblock in commandline to activate it, and run "cat /etc/hosts" to verify.

MEGA desktop app.

Optional:

sudo pacman -Syu --needed element-desktop shotcut libreoffice-still calibre rssguard audacious spotify-launcher npm discord bluez bluez-utils blueberry pulseaudio-bluetooth gst-plugins-good linux-lts texlive-basic texlive-latex texlive-latexextra texstudio sagemath sagemath-doc xsane boinc opencl-nvidia seahorse noto-fonts-emoji remmina libvncserver x11vnc transmission-qt npm install -g live-server yay -S autokey-gtk && yay -S lyx && yay -S vscodium && yay -S monitorix

To configure.

Dual-boot and sharing a drive between Linux and Windows.

To share a drive between Linux and Windows (11?) on a dual-boot setup and ensure Microsoft's incompetence doesn't delete your files, disable Windows' enabled by default fast startup: Control Panel → Hardware and Sound → Power Options → “Choose what the power button does” → “Change settings that are currently unavailable” → disable “Turn on fast startup (recommended)”.

.bashrc

alias xyz="xdg-open path/to/file.ods" alias xyz="cd path/to/folder/" alias upoff="yes | sudo pacman -Syu && shutdown now" alias upd="yes | sudo pacman -Syu" alias gimps="cd .GIMPS/p95v308b17.linux64/ && ./mprime -m" alias clean="sudo pacman -Sc && rm -rf ~/.cache/* && sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)" alias gitp="git push -u origin main" alias gpush="git push -u origin main"

Remmina.

On the remote computer (server) to connect to:

  1. Install packages: libvncserver x11vnc
  2. Open port 5900 in the firewall settings.
  3. Start the vncserver by running the command: x11vnc -usepw -forever -display :0

On the local computer:

  1. Install packages: remmina libvncserver
  2. In Remmina “Add a new connection profile” by clicking “+” in the top left corner. Type a name. Select protocol “Remmina VNC Plugin”. Enter the server: ipaddress:5900. Click “Save and Connect”.

The desktop environment of the remote computer should now be visible. Don't forget to set a password in x11vnc when leaving the connection open indefinitely.

Redshift.

Save the following config to “/.config/redshift.conf”:

Click to expand the Redshift configuration file content.
[redshift]
; Set the day and night screen temperatures
;temp-day=6500
temp-night=4000

; Disable the smooth fade between temperatures when Redshift starts and stops.
; 0 will cause an immediate change between screen temperatures.
; 1 will gradually apply the new screen temperature over a couple of seconds.
fade=1

; Solar elevation thresholds.
; By default, Redshift will use the current elevation of the sun to determine
; whether it is daytime, night or in transition (dawn/dusk). When the sun is
; above the degrees specified with elevation-high it is considered daytime and
; below elevation-low it is considered night.
;elevation-high=3
;elevation-low=-6

; Custom dawn/dusk intervals.
; Instead of using the solar elevation, the time intervals of dawn and dusk
; can be specified manually. The times must be specified as HH:MM in 24-hour
; format.
;dawn-time=6:00-7:45
;dusk-time=18:35-20:15

; Set the screen brightness. Default is 1.0.
;brightness=0.9
; It is also possible to use different settings for day and night
; since version 1.8.
;brightness-day=0.7
brightness-night=0.37
; Set the screen gamma (for all colors, or each color channel
; individually)
;gamma=0.8
;gamma=0.8:0.7:0.8
; This can also be set individually for day and night since
; version 1.10.
;gamma-day=0.8:0.7:0.8
;gamma-night=0.6

; Set the location-provider: 'geoclue2', 'manual'
; type 'redshift -l list' to see possible values.
; The location provider settings are in a different section.
location-provider=manual

; Set the adjustment-method: 'randr', 'vidmode'
; type 'redshift -m list' to see all possible values.
; 'randr' is the preferred method, 'vidmode' is an older API.
; but works in some cases when 'randr' does not.
; The adjustment method settings are in a different section.
adjustment-method=randr

; Configuration of the location-provider:
; type 'redshift -l PROVIDER:help' to see the settings.
; ex: 'redshift -l manual:help'
; Keep in mind that longitudes west of Greenwich (e.g. the Americas)
; are negative numbers.
[manual]
lat=50.846667
lon=4.3525

; Configuration of the adjustment-method
; type 'redshift -m METHOD:help' to see the settings.
; ex: 'redshift -m randr:help'
; In this example, randr is configured to adjust only screen 0.
; Note that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually the first screen.
; If this option is not specified, Redshift will try to adjust _all_ screens.
[randr]
screen=0

; --- I'm not using the below settings any more, but handy to know
; Global settings for redshift
; Place this file in .config/redshift/redshift.conf. Use the line below as startup command
; redshift-gtk -c ./.config/redshift/redshift.conf

Change the default browser for Telegram.

Even when choosing Vivaldi Browser as the default in “Settings → Default Applications” (xfce4-mime-settings), for some reasons some programs (Telegram) still use Firefox/Chromium. To work around this problem [credits to ArchWiki, enomado]:

xdg-mime default vivaldi-stable.desktop x-scheme-handler/https x-scheme-handler/http

Clean.

The command below respectively removes cache and orphaned packages [source]:

sudo pacman -Sc && rm -rf ~/.cache/* && sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)

Other useful commands.

Monitor read/write operation of a USB key [credits to Mikko Rantalainen and Greg Smith]:
