Working with Manjaro Plasma (Linux)

I was able to get this to work with Manjaro using a Plasma desktop (5.22.3) connected to an Arctis 3 gaming headset latest LTS kernels at the time of this review : 5.10.49-1 contains updates to use the latest RealTek (8761) chip drivers for this device. If needed for older/unsupported kernels, you can also download and install them manually with pamac by searching for "rtl8761b-fw". I believe this will also install the Blueman Bluetooth Manager. This was the only thing I was able to get working until the kernel update was released to include the new drivers, but it was very difficult to find and connect to the device. However, before I could upgrade to the new kernel, I had to uninstall the manual drivers, and after removing/repairing my device everything worked smoothly. Disabling/enabling again also seemed to help find the adapter after a reboot. Also, I'm using x11, haven't tested it on Wayland. I'll try to update here if I run into any problems.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Something else
