PlugInstall

Scientific Computing

First install cuda,cudnn,nvidia,nvidia-utils.

yay -S --needed nvidia nvidia-utils cuda cudnn miniconda3

Then use conda environment add this to .zshrc

[ -f /opt/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh ]  && source /opt/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh 

For cpu just omit -gpu

conda create –name tf2.0_gpu
conda activate tf2.0
conda install pip
conda install tensorflow-gpu pandas numpy
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab

Test if its working

python
from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
device_lib.list_local_devices()

Install list

yay -S --needed miniconda3 gcc-fortran cuda cudnn julia gnuplot

secondary option import whole environment in conda

conda create -n tf2.0_gpu --file conda_env_setup.txt

for cpu remove tensorflow-gpu with just tensorflow

Pip

pip install youtube_search manga-py

pip install youtube-dl
pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/vn-ki/anime-downloader.git

Flatpak

Install list

yay -S flatpak

flatpak install okular
flatpak install kdenlive
flatpak install kdeapps kdeconnect

add this to .zshrc

export PATH="${PATH}:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin"

Flatpak app config location

~/.var/app/APP/config

dark mode

flatpak install flathub org.kde.KStyle.Adwaita

add this line below to allow qt applications to run a specific theme

echo QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Adwaita-dark >> /etc/environment

for gtk use this

flatpak run --env=GTK_THEME=Arc-Dark APP

to run the flatpak package with darkmode only in qt

flatpak override --user --env=QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Adwaita-Dark org.kde.okular
flatpak override --user --env=QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Adwaita-Dark org.kde.kdeconnect

Overrides are stored in ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides
