# Basic setup

pacman -S zsh htop powertop tmux git colordiff wget openssh neovim
pacman -S sway foot wlr-randr fuzzel
pacman -S i3 keepassxc xorg-xrandr dmenu

systemctl enable sshd
systemctl start sshd



The NUC seemed to be very happy to just suspend after some time of perceived (not real) idle time, this seems to have fixed it.

```
/etc/systemd/sleep.conf.d/sleep.conf
[Sleep]
# Disable suspend
AllowSuspend=no
AllowHibernation=no
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no
AllowHybridSleep=no
```

RustDesk was laggy, `wayvnc -v 0.0.0.0` didn't seem to do anything (or crash gnome-session), so what I ended up doing was:

```
cd /opt/src/aur
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xrdp.git
cd xrdp
makepkg
sudo pacman -U xrdp....

cd ..
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xorgxrdp.git
cd xorgxrdp
makepkg
sudo pacman -U xorgxrdp....
```

now add an `.xinitrc` (What year is it?)

```
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc $HOME/.xinitrc
chmod +x $HOME/.xinitrc
```

and replace the last lines with:

```
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
export GDK_BACKEND=x11
exec i3
```

finally

```
systemctl enable xrdp.service xrdp-sesman.service
systemctl start xrdp.service xrdp-sesman.service
```

Also make sure that `ls -al /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service` is a symlink to `gdm.service` - didn't seem to work with sddm. @TODO
