+Then, start working on a fix branch:

+From time to time, update the main branch:

+install `libimobiledevice`, `usbmuxd`, and `ifuse`.
+
+## Mounting iOS
+
+After connecting, check `systemctl status usbmuxd.service`. It should be running automatically.
+
+```bash
+# pairing
+idevicepair pair # might need to enter passcode and trust the computer on iphone
+idevicepair validate
+
+# data
+ifuse some_user_mountpoint
+
+# list apps
+ifuse --list-apps
+ifuse --documents APPID some_other_mountpoint # wasn't that useful
+```
+Pictures/videos are going to be in `DCIM/`.
+
+When done, `fusermount -u mount_point`.
+
+
+## Backup
+
+```bash
+# to backup
+idevicebackup2 backup --full some_folder
+
+# to restore
+idevicebackup2 restore some_folder
+```

+
+# VIM
+- Interesting. Vim has a confini filetype (can be used for Python's configparser-type configs)
+
+- using `:oldfiles`, you can do `:e #<1` to edit the first item (replace 1 with any item number)

+# CachyOS Kernel Install
+```bash
+sudo pacman-key --recv-keys F3B607488DB35A47 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
+sudo pacman-key --lsign-key F3B607488DB35A47
+
+sudo pacman -U \

+    'https://mirror.cachyos.org/repo/x86_64/cachyos/cachyos-v3-mirrorlist-22-1-any.pkg.tar.zst'
+```
+
+Then, in `pacman.conf`:
+```confini
+Architecture = x86_64 x86_64_v3 # replace the existing "auto"
+
+[multilib]
+Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

+```
+Then,
+```bash
+sudo pacman -Syu
+sudo pacman -S linux-cachyos linux-cachyos-headers
+```
+
+Then, copy the default loader into `/boot/loader/entries/cachyos-kernel.conf` and change:
+```
+title   Arch Linux (with cachyos kernel)
+linux   /vmlinuz-linux-cachyos
+initrd  /initramfs-linux-cachyos.img

+# Fzflua undotree
+
+# HDMI sound
+
+```sh
+wpctl status | less
+```
+then see what is the default at the bottom and take note of the number of the HDMI output.
+After that, use
+```sh
+wpctl set-default 58

+Use `hyprmon`. Don't forget to apply (`A`).
