Install Jellyfin on Termux [In Proot]

This guide shows two methods of installing Jellyfin on termux

Note: only tested on aarch64/arm64

These steps are same for both methods:

1. Update the repo

pkg update

#!/bin/sh

# Remove the performance overlay, it meddles with some tasks
unset LD_PRELOAD

## Shadow kwin_wayland_wrapper so that we can pass args to kwin wrapper 
## whilst being launched by plasma-session
mkdir $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nested_plasma -p
cat <<EOF > $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/nested_plasma/kwin_wayland_wrapper
#!/bin/sh

Abstract

This is a full guide for people who wanted to setup Windows 10/11 VM with QEMU/KVM hypervisor for laptops that configured with hybrid graphics card like Intel/AMD + NVIDIA. This process will take about 1 to 2 hours, depending on your system's performance.

There is another comprehensive guide you can follow here (shoutout to asus-linux team). It is more up-to-date than mine. I'll probably incorporate those information to my guide, but you are welcome to use this one as a reference!

Before we proceed:

• This guide is exclusively for Fedora because this distro is quite different to set up than other distro such as Arch. I would say Arch is easier to setup than Fedora, but sometimes your prefer Fedora than Arch in terms of its usage & features.
• This tutorial mostly focus on laptops with NVIDIA Optimus MUXed configuration when dGPU (dedicated GPU) can connect directly to HDMI/DP output. If in doubt, sea

In the following gist I'm going to guide you through the process of installing and booting an entire linux distribution with full desktop environment just like you would have with a classical VM, but with much better performance and much worse isolation :)

The reason why I did this was mainly because it's cool, but also to test new distros with decent graphics performance without actually booting them on my PC.

If you "try this at home" just keep in mind a container is not as secure as a VM, and some of the option we're going to explore will weaken container isolation from "a bit risky" to "totally unsafe" depending on what you choose.

Also, we're going to use systemd-nspawn for containers as it's probably the best fit for our use case and can also boot any linux partition without needing to prepare an apposite container image.

Less go!

Installing Windows and Linux into the same partition

But WHY?

There was a reddit post about installing Arch on NTFS3 partition. Since Windows and Linux doesn't have directories with same names under the /(C:\), I thought it's possible, and turned out it was actually possible.
If you are not familiar to Linux, for example you've searched on Google "how to dualboot Linux and Windos" or brbrbr... you mustn't try this. This is not practical.

Pre-requirements

• UEFI system
• Any Linux live-boot CD/DVD/USB... with Linux kernel newer than 5.15
• Windows installer USB

Here is the best setup (I think so :D) for K-series Keychron keyboards on Linux.

Note: many newer Keychron keyboards use QMK as firmware and most tips here do not apply to them. Maybe the ones related to Bluetooth can be useful, but everything related to Apple's keyboard module (hid_apple) on Linux, won't work. As far as I know, all QMK-based boards use the hid_generic module instead. Examples of QMK-based boards are: Q, Q-Pro, V, K-Pro, etc.

Most of these commands have been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 and should also work on most Debian-based distributions. If a command happens not to work for you, take a look in the comment section.

Make Fn + F-keys work (NOT FOR QMK-BASED BOARDS)

Older Keychron keyboards (those not based on QMK) use the hid_apple driver on Linux, even in the Windows/Android mode, both in Bluetooth and Wired modes.

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

The Wayland project seems to operate like they were starting a greenfield project, whereas at the same time they try to position Wayland as "the X11 successor", which would clearly require a lot of thought about not breaking, or at least providing a smooth upgrade path for, existing software.

In fact, it is merely an incompatible alternative, and not e

Migrating from Ubuntu on WSL to ArchLinux on WSL2

Obsolete notice

This document was created back in 2020 and might not be actual nowadays. It is not supported anymore, so use thise information at your own risk.

Upgrading to WSL 2

• Download WSL2 Kernel
• run wsl --set-default-version 2 in windows command line, so that all future WSL machine will use WSL2.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices in Dual Boot with Linux Ubuntu and Windows 10/11

Introduction

This guide provides updated instructions for pairing Bluetooth devices (such as keyboards or mice) in a dual-boot environment with Linux Ubuntu and Windows 10/11, incorporating community feedback and suggestions.

Instructions

1. Pair in Linux First

• Pair your Bluetooth device in Linux. This is crucial to ensure the LinkKey remains consistent.
• Note: Do not re-pair the device in Linux after completing the pairing in Windows.
