NOTICE: Arc now supports Windows 10 officially. This guide is no longer necessary.

As this is not an official way of installing Arc, if you encounter any issues do NOT report them to the developers, they did not intend for people to be running Arc on Windows 10.

Remove snap from Ubuntu

Tested with:

Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.2
Ubuntu Server 22.04.2

Both are VirtualBox VMs on my Void Linux host. Both have been installed using the following options:

Normal installation (not minimal), to ensure it's fully bloated
With third party drivers

After the install, sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade have been applied. A reboot was done next.

Using PiVPN with Stunnel

Intro

The following are steps to setting up PiVPN with stunnel. Why would you want to do this? OpenVPN is subject to blocking by several methods of deep packet inspection since OpenVPN traffic, though encrypted, looks slightly different than normal web traffic. If your OpenVPN works, you probably don't need this. But if it is being blocked, you will probably have to wrap your OpenVPN connection in an SSL tunnel to make it look like normal web traffic. For an explation see here: https://proprivacy.com/guides/how-to-hide-openvpn-traffic-an-introduction

The following are steps needed to wrap your OpenVPN in an SSL connection wtih a Linux server (I got it working in ubuntu 18.04; looks to only work with amd64 architecture, not armhf). So far I've only used with a Windows client, so I don't know the exact config for an Android, iOS, Mac, or Linux client.

NetworkManager WiFi Power Saving

NetworkManager supports WiFi powersaving but the function is rather undocumented.

From the source code: wifi.powersave can have the following value:

NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT (0): use the default value
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE (1): don't touch existing setting
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE (2): disable powersave

	# You do need your Chromecast to be on Ethernet, or (untested) to join its setup WiFi
