  • [ Solved ] AMD Radeon 9070 XT Random Black Screen on Arch Linux

    I have been an nVidia fan for quite a while(who wasn’t), until recently. There are quite some positive reviews on AMD Radeon cards on Linux, also the AMD’s Linux driver support has improved a lot. When I decided to upgrade from my good old nVidia RTX 3080, I thought I might just give AMD Radeon…

  • [ Solved ] Can’t Install vkd3d and dxvk-nvapi in Bottles

    As of Bottles version 51.24, which is the latest on Arch Linux at least, some of the components couldn’t be install normally. In order to see what’s the error message, I started Bottles from a terminal: This is really handy for troubleshooting anything. When I clicked on the download icon I saw it’s actually just…

  • How to Install Eve Online on Arch Linux Using Bottles

    Since a while ago, Eve Online started to work again on Steam on my Arch Linux system. It’s great as no troubleshooting or tuning is required. I wondered if I can skip Steam and install Eve Online directly, the reason is that Steam must have some impact on games like the overlays, etc., because I…

  • Arch Linux on Alienware M18R2 and What Works in 2025

  • Fixed tracker-store’s CPU hogging issue on Arch Linux

    I think it’s since when I updated Arch Linux a while ago the tracker-storeprocess has become CPU-hogging and it can drain the battery pretty quickly and turn my laptop into a heater. Obviously there are people experiencing this issue already, but most of them that I found were trying to disable the Gnome tracker. I’d…

  • Time Machine for Arch Linux

    I’ve been using Arch Linux for some years, and it’s still my favorite Linux distribution. The feature that distinguished Arch from others is its rolling release which means there’s no such a thing called version in Arch. Using latest packages in Arch is the norm. However living on the edge means it’s not quite safe.…

  • Resolved: Arch Linux WiFi issue

    When I connected my laptop running Arch Linux to a new WiFi this morning, it worked for a brief moment then all connections were dropped. Connecting to the same WiFi with phone or Macbook works fine so the problem is at Arch LInux(AL)’s end. Then I noticed if I do a route it actually showed 2…

  • Install Shutter in Arch Linux

    It’s quite unexpected that in Arch Linux’s package database I couldn’t find Shutter, which is generally available in other Linux distributions. Although, it’s still possible to install Shutter in Arch. First I use pacaur as my AUR helper. Installation of pacaur can refer to this. Then it’s quite easy to get Shutter installed because it’s in AUR…
