Applications

  • htop, tmux, neofetch, weechat, git, thermald, tlp, mps-youtube, gksudo, virtualbox
  • redshift
    • make redshift.conf and add 6500K/3500K for DAY/NIGHT

Settings

  • changed some default shortcuts (XFCE)
  • power manager changed to battery friendly timeouts
  • adapta-gtk and papirus WM/icon themes
  • clipboard panel item

Observations

  • Manjaro comes preconfigured to use hibernation, intel ucode, ssd fstrim configuration, X11 intel tear free rendering,
  • I had to increase /tmp (tmpfs) size during the installation of intellij-idea-ce AUR package to 4GB to allow it to extract and therefore install (source).
    • Command used to resize:
$ sudo mount -o size=4G /tmp # resize /tmp to 4GB from 2GB
$ df -h # view parition details

Performance

  • Moved to Linux 4.10/4.12 to solve sleep and hibernation issues

  • Intel microcode

  • swappiness unchanged due to <= 4GB RAM

    $ cat /prop/sys/vm/swappiness
$ 60

  • bluetooth permanently disabled as a service and on autostart

  • Security - enabled ufw and blocked incoming, outgoing connections. Created exceptions for certain apps.

TODO

  • map fn + UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT to respective functions (HOME, END, etc.)
  • bluetooth script that enabled BT and running it again disables it
