Install Windows 11 on Virt-Manager

 Virt-Manager will have been installed in base install.  But to enable it (make sure SVM, or whatever virtualization is called in your BIOS is enabled).

Base Install

This blog is for my notes on setting up Arch from scratch to my liking. I use KDE Plasma as my desktop and my computers have a NVIDIA GPU (my Asus laptop also has an additional integrated GPU). I am not going to cover downloading the ISO, putting it on a USB, booting from the USB or running the Archinstall installer (selecting the Plasma desktop). Get WIFI running iwctl station wlan0 connect xxxxxxx May need:  sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/nvme1n1 if you have btrfs on old installation When running the arch installer: 1. Don't have a /home partition added!  2. Don't forget desktop! 3. Install both linux and linux-zen kernels 4. Add additional packages:  wget git micro duf base-devel kde-applications to log in the first time it may be helpful to create /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf with "options nvidia_drm modeset=1 fbdev=1"   (although cachyos-settings will overwrite later) Apparmor  Add the following kernel parameters to your Boot Manager, see  Boot Manage...

Getting rtcwake working on Bluefin

#!/bin/bash # User systemd setup for auto suspend/wake on Bluefin #Please run these two commands manually: #1. First, create the sudo rule: echo "$( whoami ) ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rtcwake" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/rtcwake-nopasswd #bash #2. Then set the correct permissions: sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/rtcwake-nopasswd #bash #After you've run those commands, we can test if passwordless sudo works: sudo rtcwake -m show #❯ sudo rtcwake -m show #alarm: off # Create user service directory mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user # Create helper script for suspend + rtcwake mkdir -p ~/bin cat > ~/bin/rtc-suspend.sh << 'EOF' #!/bin/bash # Helper script to suspend and set RTC wake time # Usage: rtc-suspend.sh "wake_time_description" if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 'wake_time_description'" echo "Example: $0 '15:00 today'" exit 1 fi wake_time="$1" wake_timestamp=$(date -d ...
