## sudo doesn't work
It works, you are just not allowed to run commands as root.

## Laptops
### TLP
This daemon tunes tunables inside the heavily tunable Linux kernel so you have a semblance of battery life.
## Connecting to wifi via cli
Use `nmtui` to control NetworkManager from a terminal.
## Bluetooth doesn't even exist
Install `bluez` and `bluez-utils` and enable the service `systemctl enable --now bluetooth`.
Bluetooth audio needs `pulseaudio-bluetooth`.
When using a minimal desktop environment you can try some of the applets such as `blueman` or `gnome-bluetooth` to control it.
## Audio in general
Always install `pavucontrol` to completely manage your audio needs.
Mics by default come muted. Unmute it and/or boost it.
A similar deal happens with bluetooth audio, by default it runs on basically analog phone emulation mode.
Change to high quality audio profile to not **instantly die** upon music playback.
## Battery life is nonexistent
The TLP daemon tunes tunables inside the heavily tunable Linux kernel so you have a semblance of battery life.
Install `tlp` and enable it, which is quirky.
```
systemctl enable --now tlp tlp-sleep
systemctl mask systemd-rfkill
systemctl mask systemd-rfkill.socket
```
### NVIDIA Optimus
You can technically also install it in normal desktops and it makes some difference in wall power draw.
## NVIDIA Optimus
Install `nvidia` and `nvidia-utils` as normal.
These by default will hijack your screen and run everything with the NVIDIA card. The NVIDIA control panel allows you to turn the GPU off completely.
