Run the following in a terminal:
sudo mdutil -Ea
sudo mdutil -ai off
sudo mdutil -ai on

Alternatively, use Automator to create an Application with a Run Shell Script Action containing the above and put it somewhere it's easy to access.

## this is peculiar to the picm4 with 200MHz dynamic downclock, which induces several seconds per second of clock drift. Sync with a local NTP server every 5 seconds of server time, ~10-15 seconds realtime, to keep things more-or-less in line.

## NOTE: commands have to exit or daemonize, or 'local' will fail to finish initialization and subsequent attempts to reboot will fail!

## So you want to use stuff like 'tmux' and 'lolcat' on the Steam Deck, but they haven't been included in the base OS?
# One way to do it is this.
# 1. setup a chroot environment so there is a file structure in which Pacman can download/unpack packages and their dependencies.
# 2. don't use it as a chroot environment; rather, add the various /bin directories inside it to your $PATH, and create an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/deck-local-arch.conf to permit the bins to find the libs they need.
