Migrating

I am searching a new primary linux distribution as manjaro has a lot of kernel issues that i am facing, v412loopback doesnt work which lead to obs virtual cam, droidcam and other very crucial things to not work.

  1. vim

  4. intel-media-driver
  5. digikam
  6. veracrypt

Paru packages

  1. vscodium
  2. qrcodegencpp (required by obs-studio)

Setup

File management

Here i would leave notes on how i manage my home directory and their subsequent sub directories.

update -> testing in garuda linux, as per new migration to our distro of choice.

Droidcam

After a lot of debugging and trying to install droidcam now i made progress.

  • Use the following command in order to know your linux headers
mhwd-kernel -li
  • then install it by :
sudo pacman -S <linux-header name> 

Failed

After a lot of time spending this linux61 kernel has some issues.

uname -r 
> 6.1.51-1-MANJARO

This particular version wasn't able to install droidccam v412loopback drivers.

Fallback

This is future me from morning now my system takes 1.28 mins unnecesarily to try to load the kernel module which always fails.

Removing the following packages in order to fix it

sudo pacman -R linux61-headers droidcam
