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 ...

  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...

 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). From https://computingforgeeks.com/install-kvm-qemu-virt-manager-arch-manjar/ sudo pacman -S qemu-full virt-manager virt-viewer dnsmasq vde2 bridge-utils openbsd-netcat dmidecode ip tables libguestfs edk2-ovmf swtpm Then enable and start libritd.service sudo systemctl enable libvirtd.service sudo systemctl start libvirtd.service sudo micro /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf Set the UNIX domain socket group ownership to libvirt, (around line 85 ) unix_sock_group = "libvirt" Set the UNIX socket permissions for the R/W socket (around line 102 ) unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" Add your user account to libvirt group.   sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami) newgrp libvirt Restart libvirt daemon. sudo systemctl restart libvirtd.service Section below is quoted directly from https://linustechtips.com/topic/1379063-windows-11-in-virt-mana...
