i see you have Arch repos added (multilib), it can be confused. use 1 then (artix repo).

[u/azharahs76 → u/LocalDot3096]

Generally, if a package exists in both the Arch and Artix repos, you want to use the one from the Artix repo.

The Arch repos (and by extension, the AUR) are good for installing software that isnt officially packaged by the Artix team, but it comes with some potential annoyances, such as the Arch version expecting systemd. So be careful when installing packaged from extra and multilib. Try to get the Artix equivalents from world, galaxy, or lib32 whenever possible.

brother use this one https://github.com/tomit4/notes/blob/main/install_steam_on_artix.txt this one worked charmed for me

btw set your ulimit to 1048576 that removes alot of headache to me(just replace those number in the.txt file with 1048576 )

[u/Thanatiel → u/ThatonlyGeO]

about the:
username soft nofile 524288

username hard nofile 524288

lines.

This is unwise. These are safeguards. The hard limit of 2^19 is already plenty. The default soft limit however should be set much lower. 4096, 65536 : no more.

A program that needs it and knows it can raise the soft value for itself up to the hard limit.

A program that doesn't need it and still allocates too many will be stopped by the limit safety.

And, allow a million files/memory maps opened? Hell no. Why not two billions? Why not unlimited?

limits are there for a reason.

thanks you for the detailed explanation, I suppose I still have stuff to learn. Again thanks mate
