![]() ![]() This is an user setting and it will be reverted if you ever delete this file and it won't work on other users. Unless you know how to revert all of this, you should just stick to what the Arch Wiki does, which I did too anyway.Ĭreate the file ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/nf and make it look like the following: įinally, log in again. Please note that the way I did this is not endorsed by the Arch Wiki and it's a way I found to make the change permament. Let's then add the following line to /etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh: export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=40" # ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/nf /etc/fonts/conf.d Let's begin with some symbolic linking: # ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/nf /etc/fonts/conf.d This already improves the situation, but many fonts are still rendered as bitmap, which makes them look horrible. However, it can be enabled in Arch by replacing the freetype2 package with a patched version from the AUR: # yay -S freetype2-cleartype Microsoft no longer holds their patents on the ClearType font rendering, but at the time of writing only a few select distros (including Ubuntu, Fedora and Void Linux) make use of it by default. Fonts! Installing missing fontsĭEs often don't include common fonts that some programs require: # pacman -S noto-fonts noto-fonts-cjk ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation ttf-opensans If you don't want Golang dependencies, yay-bin is the package you're looking for. You can install it from the AUR: git clone I then export the export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 environment variable so that programs that read it might load KDE-specific APIs, which can influence some programs to present the Qt file picker over the GTK one - it's way better integrated with Plasma and it's, frankly, superior.Įven though Plasma was built with customization in mind, I mostly use it with its default settings: I just change the action key to META, import my keyboard shortcuts and set the double-click, not the single-click, to open a file or folder. # pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal ark unrar kdeconnect sshfs dolphin okular konsole kate gwenview ![]() # pacman -Rnsc discover oxygen plasma-vault I'm aware it's possible to get an even more minimal install by foregoing the plasma group and just installing plasma-desktop and a few other packages, but there are nice features, such as the browser integration, that I actually use. I, instead, install the base plasma group, remove the few extra packages that come with it, then I finish off by installing a few KDE apps that don't come with the plasma group, plus packages needed to use some of their features. The most popular one is to install plasma and plasma-applications, but I don't like doing that because it comes with too many programs I'll never use. There are various ways to install it on Arch. Lastly, the golden rule: never execute a command you don't understand. Things move fast and by the time you're reading this my gist may be out of date. My recommendation is not to blindly follow this gist but to always check with the Arch Linux wiki first. I also included Arch Wiki references for all the procedures I mentioned. ![]() These may be applicable to other distros, but please check first before doing anything. This is a collection of the tweaks and modification I've made to my Arch Linux installation over the months. ![]()
