My step-by-step guide REAPER for ARCHLINUX (Manjaro)
My twenty steps with everything you need.
1. Burn latest Manjaro ISO tu USB key using Rufus or other similar sofware 2. Set your computer's boot (F2) at startup to boot from USB 3. Install Manjaro and update Manjaro. Open the console (F12): > sudo pacman -Syu 4. install timeshift. Open the console: > sudo pacman -S timeshift (use BTRFS if you can, it's faster) 5. Remove the daily snapsots for Timeshift (we'll take a snapshot of your system after the installation process 6. to avoid the high frequency noise in the speakers (if you have a Scarlett 2i2 or other interface). Open the console: > pacmd unload-module module-suspend-on-idle (temporary) > sudo sed -i 's/load-module module-suspend-on-idle/#load-module module-suspend-on-idle/g' /etc/pulse/default.pa (permanent: this adds a comment tag ‘#’ at the start of the line to stop module being loaded) Logoff and Login for this to take effect. 7. Create an audio group to tweak the audio configuration for audio production alter on. Open the console: > sudo usermod -a -G audio $usermod to check if you're really set to the audio group, type: > groups you'll see if 'groups' is mentioned after the command. If it does, you're in business 8. Modify the limits.conf file to tweak your computer for improved audio production. Open the console: > cd /etc/security > sudo nano limits.config (nano is the built-in text editor you'll be using to do this) in there, add: # Audio Group @audio - rtprio 95 @audio - memlock unlimited @audio - nice -19 Logoff and Login for this to take effect. 9. Install Octopi add/remove applications software. Open the console: > sudo pacman -S octopi 10. install jackaudio server (Jack2; it's multiprocessor and can interact with PulseAudio as opposed to Jack1) > sudo pacman -S jack2 11. install cadence (a control panel for music production): > sudo pacman -S candence this application will enable you a patch bay for the audio of your computer to whatever output or input you want 12. Install yay. This will give you access to Arch User Repository (PKBUILDS) > sudo pacman -S yay 13. Run octopi go to the AUR bookmark and be sure that "yay" is selected select 'noconfirm' and 'noedit' to speed up the installation process 14. click on the alien face access the yay repository 15. to play simulatneous sources of audio (like Youtube and your DAW), you need the pulseaudio-jack module. find and install "pulseaudio-jack" on octopi 16. install yabridge.bin and yabridgectl from octopi (to install VSTs later on) 17. install wine latest or wine-staging 6.4-1 from Pamac (add/install software) if you want to install the older version, install "downgrade" from Pamac. 18. install latest Reaper from octopi run Reaper Inside Reaper, open preferences --> audio --> devices check (X) in 'Disable power management if supported (requires permission to /dev/cpu/dma/laten) this will resolve serious latency issues with certain VST plugins 19. install any software you want before saving a snapshot of all your work 20. Save all your configuration with Timeshift: > sudo timeshift --create --comments "After installing all the software". You can also use the GUI to do the same When I started this two months ago, I was a total Linux newbe. |

See here: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=255313 and https://github.com/ElizabethHarmon/M...main/README.md. Always good to do a forum search before posting something along very similar lines
EDIT: Also some of your guide is outdated. For example, installing realtime-privileges package (that includes adding user to the realtime group) is now the preferred method over adding a user to the audio group ( or do both if you like seeing realtimeconfigquickscan fully satisfied ).
