Arch Linux gaming setup, any ideas tricks and tips?

Okay so I want to improve my current setup So what should I change? I use ext4 system open source drivers and lxqt for desktop I have no apps installed really apart from steam and chromium but I'd like more performance out of my a4 5000 apu
So any ideas/tricks/tips etc you know that helps play stuff like hl2 tf2 and some indie titles, and maybe witcher 2 haha no not a chance on this processor lol
Anyways thanks!

You might want to take a look at linux-ck, brebs has some useful suggestions in one of his signature links and I bet you can find more in the forums. Try to optimize every component, one by one (gather information, test, upgrade firmware/drivers if useful, repeat), and concentrate on your systems bottleneck[s_]. Other than that, using ABS and AUR provide a possibility to compile packages for your specific hardware setup. Use with caution, could be detrimental. Should you also use wine for gaming, try wine-d3dstream[-git] package from AUR, remember to enable its benefits in registry.

Arch Linux Gaming Setup - Advice?

Okay so with the arrival of BL2 on Linux I want to setup Arch for gaming, but I need some advice towards this.
How would you personally set it up? UEFI or BIOS, EXT4 or BTRFS. FOSS or Catalyst?
What desktops would you also have? I am tempted via KDE5, I think it looks rather sweet, or maybe budgie.
also should I use 3.17 or 3.16?
Any other suggestions for this, I am not very good at setting up arch for gaming..
Many thanks!

Any of those options are fine and won't make a noticeable difference.
The biggest choice is whether to use the open source "radeon" driver or Catalyst, but that's simple to decide: Start with the open source "radeon" driver (it's dead simple to setup). If it doesn't meet the needs of the video games you want to play, then try Catalyst.

If there is no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

Arch Linux Turkish Community @ 8th Free Software and Linux Festival

Hey There Guys,
We'd love to tell you about the latest news. We were at our stand all
day long on the very first day of 8th Free Software and Linux Festival.
What we've done?
* We've burnt 20 i686 and 10 x86_64 CD images and created paper CD cases
and gave everyone for free. (unfortunetly we were only capable of doing
40 of them and 30 cases since especially the cases were so expensive as
they were the best quality available)
* Made some installations for people who needs help
* Printed nearly 30 Turkish installation manual and gave them with the
CD's..
* Created a "Arch Linux on Tap" concept and made it available over the
network! They is very cool though since anyone can put the plug in
and install Arch with our very new and fresh Arch mirror (that have i686
and x86_64 packages for core, testing, community, extra).
We'll continue to do introduce Arch Linux to visitors of the festival
and help them to discover the beauty!
We also have some pictures for you! Comments are welcome!

Itunes crashes when iTunes Match runs its Step 3 (not before) - any ideas why and how to fix it?

Every time iTunes runs the iTunes Match, when iTunes MAtch gets to Step 3 - iTunes stops working - ie crashes. Any idea why and how to fix it? The songs are still uploaded to iCloud etc... but it crashe iTunes every single time

I cannot explain the failure, but I can tell you that I have a string of approx. 24 emails with Apple and a combined 10hrs of talk time with Apple customer reps that tried helping me precisely for the issue that iTunes Match would crash at Step 3 without fail. Apple even logged my Console and I was talking to an engineer that literally wrote part of the code for iTunes Match (that was the fourth and last level of customer care I was escalated to). The poor man almost quite his job, and I just about demanded a refund for my $25, since iTunes Match simply wasn't working.
Then I studied at a friend's place, and I noticed that all of a sudden, while iTunes was running in the background, half my library was already uploaded and things were progressing smoothly. It turns out that it had something to do with my modem specifically, as I had already hooked up my computer straight to the modem, taking the router (TimeCapsule) out of the equation. Nothing worked. Firewalls were turned off, no AntiVirus existed, and Apple engineers tried everything possible, incl. remote access on my computer, to get this to work. Nothing worked as long as I was connected to a Motorola Surboard.
At every other network, wether at Starbucks, my university, or at friends places, however, iTunes Match worked flawlessly.
After some research online, it turnes out that a handful of people with Motorola Surrboard Xtreme cable modems had similar issues. Eversince, I simply use my neighbors wifi should I need to upload songs, and I have no issues. Oddly enough, matching (not uploading) works just fine with my Motorola.
Don't ask me how or why, I am interested in computers and work with them a lot, but I am no engineer. I can tell you that simple scientific method pinpointed to the modem, and I haven't had issues since then.

I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I've also seen it suggested that people try downloading a free app from the store onto the iPad (as that seems to reset something), and then re-try the apps - the free app can then be deleted.

Shortcuts, tricks and tips!

Do you know of any shortcuts, tricks or tips that might not be common knowledge? Maybe you've discovered something we might not all know about. Let's share these with each other. I learned from someone here today that you can hold down the "home key" and touch the power button for a second and you will get a "screen shot" that you can paste into an email. Or hold your finger on a picture in Safari or an email for three seconds and it will give you an option to make a copy, which will be stored with your "camera roll" under your Photos. Anybody have any other tips?

Here's one that most people don't know about. When typing on any program or application, internet, anyting at all, you can HOLD DOWN the key that switches to numbers and symbols, KEEP HOLDING, even while selecting a number or symbol, SELECT IT, then simply let go. THe number or symbol will be inserted, and you will automatically be sent back to the letters keyboard, instead of having to go back to the lower left part of the screen to type the letters symbol
From owner's manual, page 27 - Chapter 2
1. Type uppercase: Tap the Shift key before tapping a letter.
2. Quickly type a period and space: Double-tap the space bar.
3. Turn caps lock on: Enable caps lock (see “Keyboard” section), then double-tap the Shift key. The Shift key turns blue, and all letters you type are uppercase. Tap the Shift key again to turn caps lock off.
4. Show numbers, punctuation, or symbols: Tap the Number (?123) key. Tap the Symbol key to see additional punctuation and symbols.
5. Type letters or symbols that aren’t on the keyboard: Press and hold the related letter or symbol, then slide to choose a variation.

HT3529 My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially created it under her apple id. We will receive each others text messages from certain people not all. Any ideas why and what we can do to stop it

My wife and I both have an iphone. We initially set them up under one apple id account. When we text sometimes we will receive each others text messages from others. Example I will text a friend...she will not see my text but the reply comes to both of us. It seems to be random which ones. Any ideas how to correct this

Yup, get your own AppleID.
The messages that are being sent to both phones are technically not text, they are Apple's iMessage. They use the data part, not the texting part. So if you have an iPad or a Mac computer, you can send/receive the iMessages there too.

Hi,
Check in Add-ons to see if you have any toolbars installed:
[[Uninstalling add-ons|Uninstalling add-ons]]
Because the Ask Toolbar (a custom version I think) is sometimes installed (or offered to be installed) with other programs, such as Foxit Reader.
