Setting up a RaspberryPi as an Audio Server for Spotify and Airplay.

Setting Up a Raspberry Pi as an Audio Server

0. Setup

This is optional, but I like to setup from fresh when the pi is just being used for one purpose:

  1. Install the Raspberyy Pi Images: https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/
  2. Install a fresh copy of Raspberry Pi OS Lite on to an SD card
  3. Configure WiFi to run the pi headless (pay attention to the capitalisation of the network name, one wrong character had me scratching my head for a while):

Finding the Location of macOS Wallpaper

I was using Wallpaper wizard for just one wallpaper, so I went to get it out of the application support. Turns out it's super easy to find where that is. Thanks to Nimesh Neema in this stackoverflow post.

Steps to downgrade Nvidia Drivers on EndeavourOS Arch Linux

Note

Look, I'm no linux expert. There's a good chance I probably did more than was necessary here, but this is what worked for me, and I need to remember what I did so I can undo it later. If you cook your PC, that's on you for following the instructions of an random idiot on the internet.

After some looking around on protondb, it became pretty clear that the reason I couldn't play Ghost of Tsushima was because it was borked on the 580 nvidia drivers. After some experimentation, the below is what I found to work for me, and got the game running flawlessly. I couldn't find any straightforward instructions anywhere that explained how this process should work, so I had to cobble it together myself.

Maybe this will help someone else, and if you can see anything in here that oculd be improved please leave a comment!

To begin with, I was on version 580.82.09 of the nvidia drivers, and 6.17.1.arch1. Steam was installed via flatpak, hence the couple of extra steps at the end.
