In this videos some UI and performance improvements for you Linux Operating system, specially for Manjaro Linux Deepin.

1⏩️ Terminal background blur and opacity

It's mainly an aestetic thing, but it useful because you can see the windows behind the terminal

2⏩️ Background noise cancellation

This is extremely useful because by default the microphone on Linux has a white noise in the background. You hear it in particular when you listen those recordings with earphones

# /etc/pulse/default.pa ... load-module module-echo-cancel use_master_format=1 aec_method=webrtc aec_args="analog_gain_control=0 digital_gain_control=1" source_name=echoCancel_source sink_name=echoCancel_sink set-default-source echoCancel_source set-default-sink echoCancel_sink

3⏩️ 2 finger Horizontal scroll

Open dconf-editor and set this option, it's usefull because you'll have almost free movements with 2 fingers, so let's scroll freely in all the directions!

4⏩️ Multitouch gestures trackpad with libinput-gestures

Fast movements with fingers on the trackpad without using the tool bar

# ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf # History back/forward gesture swipe right 3 xdotool key alt+Right gesture swipe left 3 xdotool key alt+Left # Change desktop gesture swipe right 4 xdotool key ctrl+alt+Right gesture swipe left 4 xdotool key ctrl+alt+Left gesture swipe down 4 xdotool key ctrl+Tab gesture swipe up 4 xdotool key super+Tab

7⏩️ fix intel driver flickering

I had to remove the video-intel driver but it depends on your hardware
