dotfiles
Linux config files (currently lots of example configs, will customize at some point)
-- currently using:
- leftwm
- alacritty
- rlaunch
- polybar
- feh
Todo:
- create an update script, to run alongside
pacman -Syu
- more nvim things
Setup
for setup, clone this, copy setmeup.sh
into the home directory and run it.
This is all expected to be done from your user's home directory, and will create a desktop_env
folder inside.
DO NOT delete this folder as it contains the binaries which are symlinked to your /usr/bin
(more on this in the Information section)
Information

MUST be run with root privileges or as root directly. The commands where this is required are clearly marked with ROOT REQUIRED HERE
.
The use cases requiring root involve:
- Removing existing
/usr/bin
binaries for binaries compiled by the script, if any exist - Adding symlinks to
/usr/bin
from the new folder - Using
chown
andchmod
on therlock
binary - Using
chmod
on theup
anddown
scripts for the leftwm theme
