Steam On Arch/Arco

For anyone who didn't already know, Steam seems to really hate Arch Linux and ArcoLinux.

If you install Steam via Flatpak, there's a chance that the installation will disable your ability to take screenshots in some or all of your Steam games.

Just in case people wanted to be able to do that on an Arch version of Steam. Sorry for the bad news.

Back to Linux!

So proud I finally did it!

Over 15 years ago I had decided to use free and open source software and I installed Linux on my work and personal computers.

Later I had grown somehow lazier about computers and abandoned myself into the warm arms of Apple’s world. I loved using a Mac for years but now things are different. Mac systems are different and the new internet with the social platforms, the surveillance and data gathering, profiling and activity monitoring convinced me to look back to free and open source software.

I successfully installed Arco Linux on an HP laptop and Manjaro on my old MacBook Pro that could no longer be updated. I used to work on Debian-based distributions but today I chose Arch-based distributions. I read it is a move many users are doing. Arch Linux has very large app repositories and the system is continuously upgraded, you don’t have to wait for a new release.

On the HP laptop I had issues with booting from the ArcoLinux ISO until I removed the safe boot feature. Debian-based distros did not recognize the internal Realtek Wi-Fi adapter (a known issue) while ArcoLinux did it immediately. I still have troubles with the touchpad that freezes every now and then. Using a Bluetooth mouse solves the problem… I was pleasantly surprised how my small HP Wi-Fi printer was readily recognized and used!

My 2011 MacBook Pro is stuck with MacOSX High Sierra. I read about the Arch-based Manjaro distribution with its slick KDE Plasma UI worth of Aqua and went for it. It installed easily but required some command line tweak to activate the fan and the keyboard backlighting. Again the printer was readily installed and the Wi-Fi connects immediately, while under High Sierra it takes ages. The busted speakers sound even better but what really astonished me was the possibility to play audio through the digital optical toslink output hooked to an external DAC! I was not expecting that! Not without some additional configuration!

GNU/Linux distributions made giant steps since I stopped using them around 15 years ago. I remember how printing was a nightmare sometimes. A lot of hardware was not easily recognized and needed manual configuration. Today installing Linux requires just a bit of know-how on the user’s side. If you want to keep Windows or Mac’s systems like I did you need to know about disk partitioning, but Linux installers have better tools for that today. They do pretty much everything automatically. Sometimes you need to do some command line configuration after installing but it is just a matter of following instructions you can find on the net.

Only real downside: no music streaming service provides an app for Linux except Spotify. I use Tidal because for 9.99 euros you get Hifi streaming. Spotify is still waiting to release this feature but I doubt it will cost the same. For the rest, there is plenty of free open source software to choose from to replace proprietary software you won’t find under Linux. Microsoft and Adobe, for instance, have never cared to port their widespread applications. Too bad… 😉

ArcoLinux 19.2 - See What's New

ArcoLinux 19.2 is the latest release of Arch Linux based Linux distribution, arcoLinux. features Xfce 4.12 as default desktop environment, which is known to work very well on slower computers.

By default, ArcoLinux offers a highly customized Xfce desktop session that uses various components from Arch Linux's AUR (Arch User Repository), including apps from GitHub, Debian, Red Hat, etc. 

The Xfce desktop environment of ArcoLinux also uses in-house built components like themes, icons, Conky configurations, tweaks, and other configs. Besides Xfce, users can choose between using the Openbox or i3 window managers, which are installed by default, as well as any other popular desktop environment for Linux distros

This release powered by Linux Kernel 4.20 series, also include the latest open source software, Firefox 65, Vivaldi Browser 2.2, Atom, Chromium 72, GIMP 2.10, Inkscape 0.92, Sublime text and more.

Just did the recent @windows 10 upgrade to @arcolinux #ArcoLinux > #Windows10 #FOSS = #Free #Open #Source #Software #Linux : Clearly the better option here. Superior in too many ways for me to list them all here. I will say this though, I am REALLY looking forward to exploring this new terrian which had previously only been observed from a distance, as seen when I would look through my #Windows at the #GreenerGrass of #Freedom outside. By that I mean Free programs like #Audacity #kdenlive #gimp and sooo very many more. Thank you to anyone everyone who helped to make Linux exist! As well as to the folks who are out there every day making linux better, and better. (at Buffalo, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ytYmIhbdw/?igshid=hkvq9wwo3qv7

Linux Life Episode 42

Hello folks and welcome back to Linux Life.  Well since last episode I was still having issues with ArcoLinux B Cinnamon due to issues with mirror lists.  I changed them I reset them and I was still having issues regarding updates.  Also Cinnamon kept crashing at random intervals for no apparent reason and had to be restarted.  So it was being a tad problematic.

So I have now gone back to Antergos using MATE on the i7 desktop.  First I had to write my USB stick to install it.  I used Etcher under ArcoLinux which has normally not been a problem but for some reason it did not set up the stick correctly and it failed when I tried to boot it into the UEFI version.

Given my BIOS does not like Legacy boot systems it can do them but is very reluctant to do so.  I tried to install the old way but it refused to start Grub 2 correctly.  Ironically I had to now go and use a Windows system to rewrite the USB stick using Rufus and the UEFI setup worked.

Once installed I setup all of my regular programs without a hitch and was actually surprised the MATE could use the theme I had downloaded for Cinnamon called Cinnamox Heather without any conversion or problems.

Due to me having my home directory on a separate drive I also did not have to setup Steam, Thunderbird or Firefox plug-ins as they were already in the home directory config files, Handy.

So within a matter of under an hour I was back up and running without a hitch.  Updates seem to be working fine in Antergos and Cnchi did not crash on me even once which is an absolute achievement as it used to be unstable as hell.

It did give me a few more Window Manager options to play with such as i3, Budgie and Openbox which I don’t believe were in the list last time I tried to run Cnchi.  Ultimately I went with MATE because I know it works quite well and is quite low on resources usage compared to Gnome 3 or KDE.

So Antergos is back for now.  We will see how long it lasts.  Something didn’t work I think it was Davinci Resolve 15 but that I have discovered is due to you need the Nvidia 390.xx drivers as it does not work using the 340.xx ones.  The 340.xx drivers don’t work well with OpenCL and CUDA which is what Davinci Resolve uses.  The 390.xx ones are fine with it.

I planned a video experiment using OBS and certain emulators to do a comparison of a game between systems.  Now I managed to install Fuse (ZX Spectrum) and VICE (C64) emulators no problem.  However when it came to Amstrad emulation it was a bit of a pain.  First I tried to install Caprice32 from the AUR but it refused to build due to issues with an alleged missing freetype-config.  Also it was looking for pkg-config so I installed pkg-config then as soon as I ran the AUR build it uninstalled it and reinstalled pkgconf.

After lots of trying to get it to build playing with Makefiles and PKGBUILD files which the AUR uses I eventually gave up.  Eventually I installed Arnold which seems to work.  As a man who has not really emulated Amstrad machines I have no idea which one is a good emulator.  They did say CPC4x is not bad but I could not get it compile as it uses TCL/Tk and I had no idea how to get it to build.  I kept claiming it was missing old GCC v5 libs which I could not be bothered to install.

Especially as Antergos is using GCC version 8 if I remember correctly so it would have been a major step backwards and would probably break something.

Now that I have the three emulators working I can do my comparison but I must remember if I am using OBS not to capture in MP4 as the free version of Davinci Resolve does not include the H264 codecs, for them you need to buy the Studio version which is $200 I believe.

Unless Kdenlive can use MP4 considering I have not used any video editing packages beyond Adobe Premiere for about 5 minutes.  I can try them and see if I can find one I like. Natron I believe is more like After Effects and is used to add filters and transitions but I have no idea as I have not tried it.

So now I have all of the necessary tools I can start playing with my video project.  I can’t guarantee I will be happy with it or that I will even release anything but it will be a learning experience.  I am sure I will keep you informed of the joys and pitfalls if I do so.

Anyway that’s enough waffle for this episode.  So until next time ... Take Care
