scripts to help set up KDE, other tweaks.

WINDBLOWS SLOP

If you're mounting the Windows partition read/write from Linux, Windows should have Fast Startup/hibernation disabled. A hibernated/dirty NTFS filesystem can prevent Linux from mounting it safely; the kernel ntfs3 driver can refuse a dirty volume.

Run Command Prompt as Administrator:

powercfg /h off

This disables hibernation and also disables Fast Startup, since Fast Startup uses the hibernation file.

To verify:

powercfg /a

You should see hibernation unavailable, and Fast Startup will no longer be available.

To re-enable both later:

powercfg /h on

INSTALL

Controller support

You do not strictly need game-devices-udev because many modern controllers work plug-and-play without custom rules, and many distributions include similar rules in packages like steam-devices.

However, installing game-devices-udev is highly recommended if you encounter specific issues, such as:

• Your controller is not detected or recognized by Steam Input, Lutris, or other gaming applications.

• You need user-grade permissions for specialized hardware (like certain Nintendo Switch controllers, flight sticks, or VR headsets) that default to root-only access.

For most standard Xbox or PlayStation controllers on modern Linux distributions, the system's default udev rules are usually sufficient.
