Manjaro Linux Tweaks

This is a list of simple tweaks for Manjaro Linux after a fresh install

  1. Enable Wayland on SSDM itself - The greeter (login screen) uses X11, which incorrectly shows on multiple displays with different DPIs. Wayland doesn't have this issue. See files 10-wayland.confand mkinitcpio.conf
  2. Enable FastConnectable = true in /etc/Bluetooth/main.conf. This will make the Bluetooth experience as good as on other OS.
  3. See Enable SecureBoot in Manjaro

# Add this list of modules to load SDDM correctly. If graphics drivers loads after SDDM in Wayland, it will crash.
# Adding those modules makes sure the drivers are loaded before SDDM.
# Run `sudo mkinitcpio -P` after changing this file.
