~One config per application philosophy
Why? Because I have OCD

xf86-input-evdev instead of libinput
Why? Because it has way better latency and accuracy

No Compositor, Compositorless
Why? Because it has better performance and latency especially on lower end hardware, plus they tend to break multi-monitor setups



Installation

The installation script is made for Arch, but may work on some Arch based distros with systemd.

CAUTION! This script is designed to be done after a minimal arch installation, using it on previously installed desktop should work but will change whatever you currently have (gtk/qt theming, shell, sddm, etc) and is at your own risk.

After a minimal Arch install (with grub and systemd), execute -

pacman -Syy git
git clone https://github.com/Justus0405/i3wm-dotfiles.git
cd i3wm-dotfiles/src/
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

After the installation is finished the script will automaticly reboot into the new enviroment.
