A near-exhaustive list of software I use, not an exhaustive list of the best software. There could very well exist superior alternatives. Feel free to point them out.

To install Linux Manjaro's zsh config: yay manjaro-zsh-config
, copy-paste the text below into the .zshrc file in the home directory, within the terminal settings change /bin/bash
to /bin/zsh
, close and re-open the terminal.
# Use powerline
USE_POWERLINE="true"
# Has weird character width
# Example:
# is not a diamond
HAS_WIDECHARS="false"

To build LyX one needs packages make automake autoconf base-devel
, otherwise it throws the following error:
"configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have the right $QTDIR"
To configure Plasma search to open a browser with a query when entering "xyz example.com", e.g., "viv example.com" that opens example.com in Vivaldi browser:
“create a symlink named "viv" in /usr/bin/ to the actual vivaldi binary” —Jan R..
Either there likely already is a symlink named "vivaldi" within /usr/bin/
, of which you can make another symlink with a more convenient shorter name: sudo ln -s vivaldi viv
Or go to the directory containing the vivaldi binary, in my case "/opt/vivaldi/", and in that directory run the command: sudo ln -s vivaldi /usr/bin/viv
To back up all your custom websites added to the Web Search Keywords KRunner plugin, navigate to ~/.local/share/kf6/searchproviders/
and back up the containing files.
The upgrade from KDE Plasma 5 to 6 enables Wayland by default despite using X11 before, and it breaks tons of stuff, e.g., Vivaldi browser became unusable, XScreenSaver does not work, et cetera. To revert to X11 open SDDM → Behaviour… → Automatically log in…with session Plasma (X11)

To hide the names of individual bookmarks and keep the names of folders while removing the folder icons in FireFox or derivatives such as LibreWolf, Zen Browser, or Waterfox:
/* Hide the names of individual bookmarks */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item:not([type="menu"]) .toolbarbutton-text {
display: none !important;
}
/* Keep the names of bookmark folders visible */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[type="menu"] .toolbarbutton-text {
display: inline !important;
}
/* Remove the folder icon of bookmark folders */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[type="menu"] .toolbarbutton-icon {
display: none !important;
}
To simply hide the names of everything in the bookmarks bar, use: #personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-text {display:none!important}

* I used ChatGPT for this, sorry.
To move the bookmarks and navigation bar to the bottom of the window in LibreWolf, save in the aforementioned userChrome.css file the following:
/* Move the bookmarks bar and navigation bar to the bottom of the window */
@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml) {
:root:not([inFullscreen]) {
--uc-nav-bar-height: 36px; /* Adjust this value based on your navigation bar height */
--uc-bookmarks-bar-height: 30px; /* Adjust this value based on your bookmarks bar height */
}
/* Adjust the main browser layout to create space at the bottom */
#browser, #customization-container {
margin-bottom: calc(var(--uc-nav-bar-height) + var(--uc-bookmarks-bar-height));
}
/* Move the navigation bar to the bottom */
#nav-bar {
position: fixed !important;

z-index: 2;
}
/* Move the bookmarks bar above the navigation bar */
#PersonalToolbar {

/* Ensure each toolbar element grows appropriately */

On the remote computer (server) to connect to:
libvncserver x11vnc
5900
in the firewall settings.x11vnc -usepw -forever -display :0
On the local computer:
remmina libvncserver
The desktop environment of the remote computer should now be visible. Don't forget to set a password in x11vnc when leaving the connection open indefinitely.
Install package boinc. Add your username to the boinc user group: gpasswd -a x boinc
. Start boinc: systemctl start boinc-client.service
.
Double-check if boinc causes log spam: journalctl --grep='Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified'
If this log spam is present, create a “drop-in file” for boinc-client.service:
mkdir /etc/systemd/system/boinc-client.service.d/ && sudo echo -e '[Service]\nLogFilterPatterns=~no authorization protocol specified' > /etc/systemd/system/boinc-client.service.d/wayland-syslog-spam.conf
To use BOINC via the GUI, click the previous link. When creating the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file and launching boincmgr via commandline it will probably work, but when launching BOINC Manager via an application launcher I recall it throwing an "gui_rpc_auth.cfg exists but can't be read. Check the File permissions." error message. Changing the file's permissions fixed this: chmod 640 ~/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
.
To make sure the mouse input suspends the tasks too—after startup/boot/login—and not only keyboard inputs: install "xorg-xhost" and run echo 'xhost si:localuser:boinc' > ~/.xprofile
. Or just run xhost si:localuser:boinc
in a terminal to not make it persistent.
It's possible to run GIMPS on the CPU (mprime) and GPU (GpuOwl) simultaneously. [Thanks to kriesel for the tip.]

MOBA “gaming” mice with lots of buttons might be preconfigured to output letters, numbers, etc. These preconfigurations need to be removed first so you can properly remap them with Input Remapper. Otherwise, let's say a button is preconfigured to output number 5, when trying to remap that button, it will remap number 5 on the keyboard is well.
Unfortunately, for my EVGA X15 mouse the Windows-only EVGA Unleash RGB Software is needed to undo the aforementioned default configurations.
To start and indefinitely enable Input Remapper: systemctl enable input-remapper && systemctl restart input-remapper
Functions after "|" apply when the mouse's shift button is pressed as well.

Insert in a script, here search-amazon.sh:
xdg-open "https://amazon.fr/s?k=$*"

Now, within a terminal simply execute am foo bar
, and it will open all websites searching for "foo bar".
Even though some software supports launching minimised or to tray after, it does not always work depending on the OS/installer/DE, etc. For instance building Notesnook or Beeper with Arch's yay uses Electron to run these programs, which handles differently compared to starting them from an AppImage. Not even KDE Plasma's "Window Rules" works to force these Electron apps to start minimised. The solution is to run Notesnook/Beeper from the AppImage available on their website. For Beeper one has to additionally add --hidden
as a startup argument.

How to uninstall a normally uninstallable Android system app, e.g. "Link to Windows".
android-tools
adb devices
adb shell
pm list packages -s
, or a specific package: pm list packages -s | grep "microsoft"
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.appmanager
pm list packages -s | grep "microsoft"
To share a drive between Linux and Windows (11?) on a dual-boot setup and ensure the drives' files don't get deleted, disable Windows' enabled by default fast startup and hibernation:
powercfg /H off
Unplug the Ethernet cable and disable Wi-Fi. When prompted to enter an email address press Shift + F10
, and in cmd.exe type oobe\BypassNRO
and press enter to reboot. Then click "I don't have internet" → "Continue with limited setup". When asked to enter your name type "Screw Microsoft". Unethical bastards.
If Shift + F10
does not launch anything except for a split-second loading icon, then just use no@thankyou.com
as the email address and enter any arbitrary password; "Screw Microsoft" remains an appropriate choice.
