It is Arch-based.
Stuff I did after login:
nvidia-smi
to make sure GPU was working: it was.systemctl enable bluetooth.service –now
Caps lock should be an additional Control key, sorry, it's true.
Add XKBOPTIONS=“caps:ctrl_modifier”
to /etc/default/keyboard

AUR is a collection of user-supplied build scripts for different programs. It's like EPEL for Redhat or PPAs for Debian (or Ubuntu? I forget which). AUR packages aren't binaries so you have to compile them, but it's not too painful because you mostly just run makepkg -s
and then pacman -U name_of_freshly_built_package
to install.
I don't know if there's a generally accepted way to keep track of downloaded AUR packages, so I made a folder in my Downloads
folder, aur
, and create a new subfolder for each package. Sometimes packages (like VMWare) have dependencies on other AUR packages, so having a subfolder for each package that I'm trying to install can keep things organized.
… so that I can keep using Affinity Photo. I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware to install VMWare Workstation 17.

Had to use AUR packages to install xrdp
cd ~/Downloads/aur mkdir xrdp cd xrdp git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xrdp.git cd xrdp makepkg -s sudo pacman -U xrdp-0.10.0_beta.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst cd .. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xorgxrdp.git cd xorgxrdp makepkg -s sudo pacman -U xorgxrdp-0.10.0-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst # Edited the "port" option in /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini to only listen to single IP. port=tcp://secret.ip.address.here:3389
gamescope -h 1080 -w 1920 -f – %command%
.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/553850/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Arrowhead/Helldivers2/user_settings.config
:%command% –use-d3d11
and that worked great, even when I set the resolution back to 1920×1080
