Connect to the Internet at install
We need a connection that works with the installer. The EDIMAX AC1200 USB (802.11ac) adapter requires a compiled module (rtl8812au) from the AUR, and therefore cannot be used during initial install. We need to use an adapter that works out of the box within the installer, either of:
- wired Ethernet. This is the fastest and easiest way as it requires no further config.
- a WiFi adapter that works with the kernel used in the installer, such as an Intel AX200 PCIe or an EDIMAX EW-7318USg (802.11n) USB adapter. This will require activating the WiFi connection via
iwctl:
[iwd]# device list [iwd]# station wlan0 scan [iwd]# station wlan0 get-networks [iwd]# station wlan0 connect SSID
Verify IP address and internet connection with e.g. ip addr and ping www.google.com.

Configure /etc/sudoers: uncomment %wheel sudo access with no password.
Adjusting fstab
To external drive partitions, add to their fstab arguments:
,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1
Network and internet in console
Use the same working interface than the one used for install. For wired Ethernet use systemd-networkd or for WiFI use iwctl and systemd-networkd depending on the adapter.
Before using iwctl, activate iwd:
systemctl enable iwd systemctl start iwd systemctl enable systemd-networkd systemctl start systemd-networkd systemd enable systemd-resolved systemd start systemd-resolved
and create file:
/etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.network
[Match] Name=wlan0 [Network] DHCP=yes IgnoreCarrierLoss=3s
Verify IP address and internet connection with e.g. ip addr and ping www.google.com.
- used iwd with its built-in configuration, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Enable_built-in_network_configuration
- installed NetworkManager and used it in command line.
WiFi
AX200 PCIe adapter
Works out of the box. To avoid disconnections/perf losses:
/etc/modprobe.d/ax200-iwl.conf
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=0 options iwlwifi power_save=0 options iwlmvm power_scheme=1
and reboot.
EDIMAX USB AC1200 adapter
Using wired Ethernet or the 802.11n WiFi USB adapter used previously, install the 8812au drivers:
yay -S rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git
Plug in the EDIMAX USB AC1200 adapter. Activate using NetworkManager (e.g. under KDE). Do not use other daemons such as systemd-networkd and NetworkManager at the same time! See Network_configuration#Network_managers and Wireless_network_configuration.
Pacman
Edit /etc/pacman.conf and uncomment multilib section.
Install yay:
pacman -S git git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git cd yay makepkg -si
Find best mirrors
pacman -S reflector reflector -l 30 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
pacman -S pkgfile pkgfile --update

Wayland / XWayland / Xorg / NVIDIA
We use nvidia-dkms se that we can automatically support the linux-ck kernel later.
pacman -S linux-headers pacman -S nvidia-dkms xorg-apps nvidia-settings lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-libvdpau
Choose all xorg-apps. Reboot to use nvidia driver.
Then optimise nvidia settings:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"

Reboot.
Optimise SSD
- tmpfs
Nothing to do: automatically in RAM with systemd.
- I/O scheduler
To change the default scheduler, see Improving_performance#Changing_I/O_scheduler. As recommended in the wiki, create file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-ioschedulers.rules
# HDD
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="1", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"
# SSD
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*|mmcblk[0-9]*", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"
# NVMe SSD
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="nvme[0-9]*", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="none"
Changes should occur upon next boot. To check success of the new rule:
$ cat /sys/block/sdX/queue/scheduler # where X is the device in question
- enable periodic TRIM
systemctl enable fstrim.timer systemctl start fstrim.timer
- profile-sync-daemon
yay -S profile-sync-daemon
Configure it for browsers (Firefox, Chrome, etc).
yay -S google-chrome firefox firefox-i10n-fr
Select pipewire-jack, wireplumber, noto-fonts
psd
Edit psd.conf if required.
$ psd # systemctl --user start psd # systemctl --user enable psd
- tools for NVMe drive:
yay -S nvme-cli
- enable smart monitoring
# systemctl start smartd.service # systemctl enable smartd.service
Optimise HDD
This is specific to ST4000DM000 HDD, which is known for its cycle frenziness:
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules
# set the Advanced Power Management feature for the ST4000DM000 HDD ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sdd", RUN+="/usr/bin/hdparm -B 254 -S 0 /dev/sdd"
KDE
pacman -S sddm pacman -S plasma-meta
systemctl enable sddm systemctl start sddm
In KDE:
- Sur 4K TV, augmenter Echelle Globale a 200% (Affichage et Écran).
- Then in plasma, go to System Settings → Startup → SDDM and change theme to Breeze (or Brise if in French). Then Apply Plasma settings (button at bottom). Configure SDDM auto-login.
- KMix config: deselect start at Plasma startup.
- Set regionalisation and input languages.
- For GTK2 and 3 appearance, choose Breeze.
- Demarrage et arret → Session d bureau → Option a la deconnexion par defaut → Eteindre l'ordinateur.
pacman -S kde-applications-meta
Choose 1) pyside2, 1) cronie, 38) tesseract-data-fra
pacman -S kde-l10n-fr
Modernise Audio:
yay -S pipewire-pulse
This will remove and replace pulseaudio, this is normal. In KDE, open Volume audio and chose as output: HDMI and Profile stereo or 5.1 (depending on hardware).
To have nm applet in KDE:
yay -S plasma-nm sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
Enable the experimental iwd backend with:
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf
[device] wifi.backend=iwd
and disable iwd service (NetworkManager will manage it itself):
sudo systemctl disable iwd.service sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant sudo systemctl disable wpa_supplicant sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
In the applet, set option "all users can connect to this network" and switch security to WPA3. To force using 5GHz canal instead of 2.4GHz, set BSSID as well.
Once NetworkManager is used you should disable other network manager services:
# systemctl disable systemd-networkd.service # systemctl disable systemd-networkd.socket
VPN
To configure VPN in plasma-nm:
yay -S networkmanager-openvpn
and reboot.
For AirVPN:
yay -S eddie-ui nftables
Other packages
Video discs support
yay -S libbdplus libdvdcss
yay -S ttf-bitstream-vera yay -S ttf-liberation yay -S ttf-linux-libertine
yay -S abs
NTFS read and write
yay -S ntfs-3g
Games - use steam-native and steam-native-runtime in case Steam crashes due to library conflicts.
yay -S steam sc-controller-git yay -S steam-native-runtime yay -S proton-ge-custom-bin sudo usermod -a -G games eric
Sound with PlayOnLinux (e.g. Skyrim):
yay -S playonlinux lib32-openal
MTP transfer (e.g. from Android phones)
yay -S android-udev
To fix disconnection issues (mostly). The most simple and likely useless example is disabling autosuspend for all USB devices:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-usb_power_save.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTR{idProduct}=="9205", ATTR{power/autosuspend}="-1"
SSHFS to use dolphin with KDE Connect on a phone
yay -S sshfs
lm_sensors
yay -S lm_sensors
ASUS Maximus VIII Gene: need to modprobe nct6775?
As root:
sensors-detect
Use default options.
Bluetooth
yay -S bluez-firmware bluez-utils
systemctl enable bluetooth systemctl start bluetooth
Xbox One controller
Install xpadneo driver
yay -S xpadneo-dkms-git
In case of pairing issues (e.g. loop connection/deconnection) edit:
/etc/bluetooth/main.conf
... Privacy=device ...
See also https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/155 and https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues/295
Preload
yay -S preload sudo systemctl enable preload sudo systemctl start preload
NTP
yay -S ntp sudo systemctl start ntpd sudo systemctl enable ntpd
WiFi revisited
Recently, plugging the EDIMAX USB AC1200 lead to the creation of interface wlp0s26f7u3 instead of enp0s26f7u3 (same than using the Edimax EW-7318USg). Disabling all of systemd-networkd and associated wpa_supplicant@ services and keeping NetworkManager service solves the problem entirely, but logging into KDE and entering the KWallet password is required.
Add linux-ck kernel (optional)
yay -S linux-ck linux-ck-headers
Import keys signing the kernels (handled by yay)
Select either of:
22. Intel Skylake (MSKYLAKE) (NEW) choice[1-24?]: 22
or
24. optimizations autodetected by GCC (MNATIVE) (NEW) choice[1-24?]: 24 Support for P6_NOPs on Intel chips (X86_P6_NOP) [N/y/?] (NEW) y

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
First time:
# cp /etc/iptables/empty.rules /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
Then start the iptables.service unit. As with other services, if you want iptables to be loaded automatically on boot, you must enable it.
iptables rules for IPv6 are, by default, stored in /etc/iptables/ip6tables.rules, which is read by ip6tables.service. You can start it the same way as above.
Create rules:
# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlp0s20f0u8u4 -j MASQUERADE # iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT # iptables -A FORWARD -i enp0s31f6 -o wlp0s20f0u8u4 -j ACCEPT
Save them to apply at boot:
# iptables-save > /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
Then create a class A network on the PC with
static address 10.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0 gw 0.0.0.0
And configure NIC on NAS:
static address 10.0.0.2 mask 255.0.0.0 gw 10.0.0.1 with DNS 192.168.1.1 or 8.8.8.8
See Internet sharing and iptables for more info.
To access class A from 192.168.1.x network, add a static route in the router R7000 config:
destination 10.0.0.0/8 gw 192.168.1.107 (the IP of the PC), Metric 2.
