Dotfiles Arch Linux 2024

This repository manages dotfiles with GNU Stow. To install, clone the repository and run:

cd dotfiles
make

Note that the LightDM configuration resides in the /etc/lightdm directory, so you'll need sudo access to install it. During installation, you will be prompted to enter your password. The make command copies the default LightDM configuration to /etc/lightdm/defaults.

To remove symlinks and clean up the configuration, use:

make clean

Cleaning up will restore the LightDM's defaults from /etc/lightdm/defaults.
