- Any idea why is the kernel still at 7.0.12? (2026/06/21 16:32)Does anyone have any idea why the kernel is still at 7.0.12 when 7.0.13, 7.1, and 7.1.1 are released? I ask because 7.0.12 broke my Bluetooth drivers and while I am in the process of making an account to file a bug report, I was hoping an update beyond 7.0.12 might fix the issue. submitted by /u/kkin1995 [link] [comments]

- Is there any form of an automatic AUR auditor? (2026/06/21 13:53)I have been using Arch for almost 4 years now and have heard of multiple instances where the AUR has been infected either by supply-chain attacks or directly malicious AUR packages. Even recently there was one instance. Is there any way tool that automatically audits for malicious packages? submitted by /u/debiancat [link] [comments]
- Possible goof. Should I be worried? Dependencies (2026/06/21 13:52)So when I use the terminal to update my packages I usually select Yes to remove the dependencies. Now I've been doing this for a while now, not really knowing what I'm doing (still new to Arch). Should I be concerned about this? Have I broken a load of stuff without realising? submitted by /u/powelljackd3 [link] [comments]
- Full system update broke Kde Plasma (Wayland) (2026/06/21 13:25)I had 640+ updates available and i ran “yay” to do a full system update. After i reboot my PC i loged in with Kde’s login screen which looked normal but when my homescreen came my background was black, there were 3 plasmashell crash windows and the taskbar was non-existent. Claude advised switching to nvidia proprietary drivers with didn’t change anything. Anyone experienced a similar issue or know a solution? I’ve been stuck.

- Deciding distros (2026/06/20 19:57)Can’t pick between fedora and arch. Does arch have the built in firmware update manager? When doing some research online I read that arch is less stable for things like davinci and adour, which is something I use a lot of. Is that true? Does this mean I’m gonna have crashes? According to some ai searches (I know I know) fedora is the better choice for a touchscreen laptop which is what I have. A Lenovo yoga 6. Claiming driver stability and system stability. I just want a fast stable system, and the aur news gives me reason to worry. What do you people think? submitted by /u/fieldmousebryan [link] [comments]
- amdgpu boot issues "[drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes" (2026/06/20 17:17)I recently changed my GPU and monitor but didn't bother with an Arch re-install, even though I had this wired issue. I figured it was probably related to some configuration mismatch and would be fixed after a fresh install. Back then, I got passed the issue simply by unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable, or sometimes a few reboots would fix it. Now I have finally done a clean Arch reinstall, and I still have the exact same issue. The problem is that I get past GRUB, but 7 times out of 10, I get no display output. I can blindly log in and run commands btw. The only relevant errors I found in the logs are: amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: [drm] Failed to setup vendor infoframe on connector HDMI-A-1: -22 fbcon: amdgpudrmfb (fb0) is primary device I don't think it's relevant for this issue but I'm on hyprland and I don't use any display managers. submitted by /u/DisplayLegitimate374 [link] [comments]
- [VRR issue] Brief black stripes flashing in games when YouTube video is playing at the background in Firefox (hardware acceleration VRR conflict) (2026/06/20 14:36)Hi there. I have a weird issue with VRR when I have YouTube video playing in Firefox at the background while playing. Some black stripes appear occasionally for half a second in all games, like a brief flashing. Disabling Hardware Acceleration in Firefox fixes this problem, but I can't use Firefox without it since it breaks a lot of rendering. They appear randomly, like, you can play 5 minutes without it and then it suddenly flashes. I also have Adaptive Sync disabled for Firefox in window rules, but it doesn't help. Adaptive Sync is set to Automatic. I have also tested games with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 hoping it would help, but it did not. submitted by /u/Keenwhisk [link] [comments]

- How do you install NVIDIA drivers and CUDA on a hybrid GPU setup? (2026/06/20 11:56)For reference, I have a hybrid GPU laptop with an integrated AMD GPU and the mobile version of NVIDIA RTX 4070. I don't remember how or why but I'm using the `nouveau` drivers for my 4070. I've tried RTFM but it's too verbose for me to understand anything. From what I understand, CUDA needs NVIDIA's proprietary drivers to work properly. So, I did `sudo pacman -S nvidia` and I get this error: > error: target not found: nvidia I also know that I need to set up GRUB and SDDM for switching and blacklist the `nouveau` drivers. But, I don't really understand how to do it safely without bricking my system. I have tried to read guides but they're old and suggest using the AUR packages which I want to avoid. Please help this newbie. Edit - Looks like Reddit removed markdown formatting on mobile. submitted by /u/Intelligent_Cap_3686 [link] [comments]
- is Arch a good choice for my ancient laptop? (2026/06/20 10:55)4GB ram Intel Celeron N3060 An SSD My younger brother is going to use it. I don’t mind teaching him about linux a little bit, he’s a fast learner. He’s gonna use it mostly to watch YouTube and play games like Undertale, Deltarune, Oneshot, Celeste, and Hollow Knight (not like it can handle anything more than that anyway) The reason I thought of Arch was because I wanted something as debloated as possible in order to run without lag, but I’m actually thinking of installing CachyOS because I head it has better optimization or smth. I’m familiar with both. Also, are there any DE/WM that would suit this machine? submitted by /u/NullAli [link] [comments]
- People promote Arch because "there's a lot of programs in the repository" or "it's quickly updated bleeding-edge" but like.. what EXACTLY can you get from Arch that you can't get elsewhere? (2026/06/20 00:17)I'm new-ish to Linux and recently graduated to Debian after 6 months on Mint. Arch gets a disproportionate amount of attention online, and I'm just trying to understand it. This isn't supposed to be bashing. It seems like the selling point of Arch is that there's a lot of available programs in the repository, and that the updates are very fast. But what specifically are people using that for? I mean, creatives have their own FOSS that's been around for ever and is available on everything. Unless there's some really good video editing/music making software that's only on AUR...??? For "work", all the networking, pen-testing, sysadmin stuff is again available everywhere. Unless I'm missing something...? But I've never heard of professionals using Arch, it's seems like they're on Fedora/Red Hat or Debian. People just throw around vague "it depends on your work flow." That's what I'm asking, what, specifically, do YOU use that only Arch offers? Tell me about weird niche programs that are only available on AUR. Tell me about your specific circumstances where you needed the latest update and couldn't get them on a slow-to-update distro. Are there some really important creative/IT software that's only on Arch that I didn't know about (and if so, why isn't it promoted more?) What unique use case and work flow does Arch specifically fit? Tell me something weird and esoteric :D submitted by /u/durdurrdurrrdurrrrr [link] [comments]
- FluxCast v0.1.2: Native Wayland Miracast for Linux (Hyprland/Sway/KDE/GNOME) (2026/06/19 21:51)Hi r/archlinux, I’m the developer of FluxCast, an open-source tool built to solve the Miracast/Wi-Fi Direct screen mirroring pain on Linux. After landing on the official ArchWiki, I’m pushing v0.1.2 with major fixes for hardware compatibility. What FluxCast does: Native Wayland support: Full compatibility with compositors like Hyprland, Sway and DE like KDE, and GNOME. Low Latency: Uses GStreamer/FFmpeg for real-time RTSP/RTP streaming (~1s delay). Multi-Channel Concurrent (MCC): Works concurrently with your regular Wi-Fi connection, not like Miraclecast. Easy installation: Available via AUR (fluxcast-git), PyPI, or as a standalone AppImage. Recent Low-Level Fixes & Updates: LG webOS: Solved stream drops caused by randomized P2P MAC addresses during RTSP handshakes. Samsung Tablets & Minimal Sinks: Added force-mode fallback for minimal-capability WFD targets (tested on Galaxy Tab S9 FE). 1200p VESA Support: Implemented native 1920x1200 resolution support for VESA-compliant displays. Performance Tuning: Aligned high-res streams (>1080p) to the ultrafast encoder preset and raised bitrate floors to prevent buffering lag. Hardware Lab Initiative: I’m currently tackling a "tin can" audio bug on the Microsoft 4K Wireless Adapter. As a student developer, I don't have access to every proprietary dongle, so I’ve started a transparent hardware fund on Ko-fi to build a testing bench. 100% Transparency: All funds go strictly toward used hardware (starting with a $60 unit in Brno). I will post photos of all acquired gear directly to the GitHub issue tracker for verification. How you can help: If you rely on FluxCast, please consider supporting the testing fund. If not, even testing or providing logs is a huge help! Links: GitHub: https://github.com/IlyaP358/fluxcast Testing Fund: https://ko-fi.com/fluxcast ArchWiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Multimedia#Miracast Happy to answer any technical questions about the implementation, AUR package, or Wayland integration below! submitted by /u/Suspicious-Charity-5 [link] [comments]

Please read over the wiki entry on AUR helpers. If you have a question, please search the subreddit for previous questions. If your AUR helper breaks know how to use makepkg manually. I need help with $derivativeDistribution Use the appropriate support channel for your distribution. Arch is DIY distribution and we expect you to guide us through your system when providing support. Using an installer defeats this expectation. Why was the beginners guide removed? It carried a lot of maintenance on the wiki admin as it duplicated a lot of information, and everyone wanted their addition included. It was scrapped for a compact model that largely referenced the main wiki pages. Why Arch Linux? Arch compared to other distributions Follow the wiki.
