dots

Everyone must have a dotfiles repo, right?

STILL IN PROCESS OF MIGRATION: I used to run i3, then switched to Sway, now I'm back on i3. It might take a bit to get everything back in place (and better)

Packages and stuff

package	why
i3	window manager
picom	compositor
alacritty	terminal
firefox	browser
pipewire	audio stuff
dmenu	launcher
polybar	bar
redshift	no eye hurty thing
mpd/ncmpcpp	music playback
fastfetch	system info

Others are in .config/packagelist, install them with paru -S - < packagelist (or whatever AUR helper you have)

Colors are a mix of srcery and Sweet

Installation

You can treat this repo as your home directory, so if you cloned the repo to ~/dots you can install it by running

cd ~/dots
rm -rf .git README.md screenshot.png
cp -rT . ~

THIS WILL OVERWRITE ANY CONFIG FILES YOU HAVE!

Otherwise, you can just copy any specific config you want

Configuration

Of course, this is a bit personalized to my specific setup, so you should do these steps for everything to work correctly:

• run nitrogen and set your walls directory and wallpapers on each monitor
• run systemctl enable --now --user pipewire-pulse.service to be able to use PulseAudio tools
• run sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth.service to be able to use bluetooth
• edit the i3 (.config/i3/config) and Polybar (.config/polybar/launch.sh) files and set your monitor names on them
• edit .config/polybar/scripts/current-sink.sh and set your sink names and pretty names (can be seen with pamixer --list-inks)
• edit .config/polybar/scripts/scripts.sh and set your microphone source name (can be seen with pamixer --list-sources) and other stuff if needed
• run the micro command plugin install wc (Ctrl-E) to get the word-count plugin, I didn't include it so that I don't gotta worry if it's ever updated
• some stuff i'm forgetting idk see what is broken
