Improved Plasma X11 experience

This guide is to improve the KDE Plasma experience on X11. It particularly applies to those using the modesetting driver (mainly Intel graphics cards)

Install Xorg-git or Xlibre

This is a crucial step. XLibre and xorg-git contain the "TearFree" feature for modesetting, which is not available in the standard releases. If you use a driver other than modesetting, check that the TearFree option exists for your driver.

Installation depends on the distribution you use. On Arch Linux and derivatives:

Xorg-git:

WIM

WIM (ESD,SWM) is an image of an OS file system,
it can be mounted, and modified (to some degree) .
there are two possible ways, through DISM or through mounting it directly through an older way, using a driver named imagex (Windows Imaging Utility).

Problems & Solutions for Interaction Between C and Go

At Vimeo, on the transcoding team, we work a lot with Go, and a lot with C, for various tasks such as media ingest. This means we use CGO quite extensively, and consequently, have run into bits that are perhaps not very well documented, if at all. Below is my effort to document some of the problems we've run into, and how we fixed or worked around them.

Many of these are obviously wrong in retrospect, but hindsight is 20/20, and these problems do exist in many codebases currently.

Some are definitely ugly, and I much welcome better solutions! Tweet me at @daemon404 if you have any, or have your own CGO story/tips, please! I'd love to learn of them.
