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...

Fedora Install Notes

  Many of the steps in setting up Fedora are the same as I do for Arch.  My preferred install is Fedora Rawhide.  You are better off with the default "Gnome" desktop than trying the KDE spin (seems to be the best integrated experience with few/no hardware/GPU issues). Helpful notes to me: Initial "get started" installs: sudo dnf in R bat btrfs-assistant cmake duf fastfetch fish fontawesome-fonts-all freetype-devel fribidi-devel gnome-extensions-app gnome-tweaks htop inxi java-latest-openjdk-devel jetbrains-mono-fonts kitty kmymoney lftp libcurl-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel llvm-devel meson micro onedrive python3-colorama python3-ipykernel python3-pip python3-pyquery sqlitebrowser tcl8-devel tk8-devel typescript xsane zsh Snapper: do rollback: Use sudo snapper ls to list all available snapshots and their corresponding numbers. Note the number of the snapshot you want to revert to. Open a terminal and use the following command: sudo snapper ro...
