Tmux? tmux is a terminal multiplexer that enables you to create, access, and control multiple terminal sessions from a single screen. Key advantages include: Session Persistence: Detach from a session and re-attach later, preserving running processes even if your SSH connection drops. Window & Pane Management: Divide your terminal into multiple windows (tabs) and panes (splits). Scriptability: Automate terminal layouts and development environments. Installation Install tmux using your distribution鈥檚 native package manager: ...

IWCTL iwctl is the interactive command-line interface for iwd (iNet wireless daemon), common on Arch Linux and minimal Linux setups. 1. Quick Interactive Shell Launch the interactive prompt to auto-complete commands and device names: 1 iwctl (Type exit or press Ctrl+D to leave at any time.) 2. Connect to Wi-Fi (Step-by-Step) If running directly from your standard terminal prompt without entering the shell: Find your Wi-Fi device name (usually wlan0): 1 iwctl device list Turn on the Wi-Fi adapter (if powered off): 1 iwctl adapter phy0 set-property Powered on Scan for available networks: 1 iwctl station wlan0 scan List scanned networks**: 1 iwctl station wlan0 get-networks Connect to a network: 1 iwctl station wlan0 connect "Your-SSID-Name" You will be prompted for the passphrase if required. ...
Archlinux liveboot Introduction to liveboot Requirements A USB drive 8gb+ (preferably with usb 3.0 transfer speeds) Host machine with rufus installed Installing Rufus and Arch ISO Arch iso Visit here Download the iso via BitTorrent to ensure maximum speed and help to seed to others Rufus Visit here, windows only. Or for linux machines you can use balena etcher. Use the following setup in Rufus Device: USB Stick Boot selection: Your arch iso Persistent partition size: 0gb (we鈥檒l set the persistent storage from the arch window) Partition scheme: MBR, we鈥檙e targeting maximum number of systems with both BIOS and UEFI compatiblity. Keep the rest of the settings as it is Booting into the USB Hold the boot key or the BIOS/UEFI key (could be F2, F8 or F10, check your motherboard manufacturer), in case of my Asus it was F2. Depending on the BIOS/UEFI software, you either need to change the boot order or boot into the USB drive After selecting it wait till you see a terminal Initial arch setup After booting into the arch terminal, wifi may not work which is essential for the intial setup, for this check iwctl. Ethernet will work out of the box and so does USB thethering, so if you don鈥檛 want to deal with iwctl commands use either one of these Run the archinstall script, by typing archinstall Archinstall setup Disk configuration: Use the usb as the target drive WARNING: INCORRECT DISK CONFIGURATION WILL WIPE YOUR HOST MACHINE Hostname: Set your device Disable swap - since we are using a USB disk, hit times and data transfer speed is already bottlenecked Set up auth and password for host machine Set up user and password for a user and if you intend for using it also add it as a superuser Set up bootloader as grub, systemmd would work as well but may not be compatible with computers not having UEFI Set up applications Enable bluetooth Set audio interface to pipewire Keep everything else as default if you are unsure Graphic drivers: For our setup we went with all open source Profile: Set it up as a desktop profile and for USB where we aim for least amount of resources used we can set profile as XFCE. Greeter: Any one is fine but we鈥檝e used sddm Disable automatic time sync, if you are using windows In Network configuration set it up as set default backend to ensure that the setup targets maximum number of systems After setup, confirm your settings and select install. Installation process may take around 30 minutes depending on your internet speed. Post installation Greeter setup When the greeter asks you for username and password, check on the top left side, it should say XFCE (Wayland) or just XFCE. If it鈥檚 XFCE wayland, ensure it鈥檚 set back to XFCE. On some computers XFCE (Wayland) may result in no display outputs and your monitor may remain inactive with the above given configurations. ...
