Fix Screen Tearing

If you're facing screen tearing issue then :

1. Enable GLX backend for compositor. If you're using openbox then right click on the desktop and go to Preferences > Compositor and click on Use 'glx' backend or you can edit ~/.config/picom.conf file manually.

2. If first option does not work for you, Create a xorg.conf file like this :

# Change to xorg.conf.d dir
$ cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

# Create a conf file
$ sudo touch 20-amdgpu.conf

# Edit the file
$ sudo vim 20-amdgpu.conf

# Paste this in the editor
Section "Device"
     Identifier "AMD"
     Driver "amdgpu"
     Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

This method may not work on your system and you might not be able to boot into xorg. So make sure you know how to use tty or boot into recovery mode to revert the changes you made.

Enable Suspend Service

Enable betterlockscreen's suspend service for your user account.

# Enable betterlockscreen suspend service

$ sudo systemctl enable betterlockscreen@$USER.service						

Fix Lock Screen Background

Fix lock screen layout on hidpi or low resolution displays.

# Update the lockscreen wallpaper

$ betterlockscreen -u /usr/share/backgrounds/groot.jpg

Well, that's pretty much everything for now, go ahead and enjoy Archcraft.
