Hey, dumbass: Don't forget this shit

Symbolic links to library folders

You put your personal data on another partition. Run this:

rm -rf ~/Desktop ~/Documents ~/Downloads ~/Music ~/Pictures ~/Public ~/Templates ~/Videos
ln -s /mnt/data/Desktop /home/cam/Desktop
ln -s /mnt/data/Documents /home/cam/Documents
ln -s /mnt/data/Downloads /home/cam/Downloads
ln -s /mnt/data/Music /home/cam/Music
ln -s /mnt/data/Pictures /home/cam/Pictures
ln -s /mnt/data/Public /home/cam/Public
ln -s /mnt/data/Templates /home/cam/Templates
ln -s /mnt/data/Videos /home/cam/Videos

Ethernet Sleep Bug

Your shitty mobo's shitty onboard ethernet goes to sleep after a while and then it doesn't work again until you run a stupid command or reboot.

Fix:

# put this in your grub cmdline you stupid shit
pcie_port_pm=off pcie_aspm.policy=performance

Remember to update grub, dumbass

IOMMU / GPU Passthrough

These options will passthrough your integrated GPU to kvm:

# again, in grub cmdline
amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pci-stub.ids=1002:164e,1002:1640 rd.driver.pre=vfio-pci

Make sure to update the stub IDs if you decide to add a second dGPU later...

Also, add this to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:

MODULES=(crc32c vfio vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_pci pci-stub)

Finally, run:

sudo mkinitcpio -P

And also update grub!!!!

Next, add your passthrough gpu bios/rom to kvm:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/kvm/vbios
sudo cp vbios_164e.dat /usr/share/kvm/vbios/
sudo cp AMDGopDriver.rom /usr/share/kvm/vbios/

Razer Middle Mouse Button

Razer's shitty mouse button doesn't work. Run this:

echo -n -e "\x03\x00" | sudo tee /sys/bus/hid/drivers/razermouse/0*/device_mode

Monitor Weirdness

Your shitty monitor acts weird but adding its firmware to boot options (above) helps. You need to supply the firmware file, tho:

sudo cp samsung_bg65_edid.bin /lib/firmware/edid/

Then edit your grub cmdline:

drm.edid_firmware=DP-1:edid/samsung_bg65_edid.bin

update grub, then regenerate your initramfs.

KVM stuff

Make sure to follow the passthrough shit above.

Make sure you own kvmfr (the framebuffer that looking glass shits to):

# /etc/udev/rules.d/99-kvmfr.rules
SUBSYSTEM="kvmfr", OWNER="cam", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660"

Make sure that shit exists:

# /etc/modules-load.d/kvmfr.conf
#KVMFR Looking Glass module
kvmfr

Copy your windows vm config:

sudo cp win11.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/win11.xml

Build options for Looking Glass:

cmake -DENABLE_X11=no -DENABLE_PULSEAUDIO=no -DENABLE_LIBDECOR=ON ../

Add yourself to the correct groups:

newgrp libvirt # if it don't exist
sudo usermod -aG kvm,libvirt $USER
