Mention:

  • Setting up timezones.
  • Setting up Xorg.
  • Setting up Sound.
  • System optmization.
  • Fonts.
  • ...

Any suggestions are welcome!

  • Setting up Wayland
  • Setting up bluetooth
  • Modern networking
  • Removing tty1 cluttering triggered by runit services
  • Running Xorg without xinit
  • Autologin to tty
  • Microcode (if possible), wireless regulatory database
  • Automatically saving/restoring audio/brightness via service
  • Dbus-less notifications
  • Xorg hi-dpi (a little bit hacky i know)
  • Keyboard layout(xorg.conf and/or setxkbmap)
  • Decluttering $HOME by patching source (e.g sed -i 's|\.zshrc|\.config/zsh/rc|' Src/init.c )

[ - ] Searching the git history for e.g netsurf.
Edit:
[ - ] Compress "Install KISS" to just the necessary for a booting base install.
I think this step is complicated enough for new users. Especially when you start searching and scrolling through the install page.

[ - ] Examine how to add custom keybindings to a windowmanager with kiss-fork and personal config.h

  • Good practice for reporting bugs.
  • Problem with packages -> contact the maintainer kiss-maintainer.
  • Provide logs from actual build. Point at ~/.cache/kiss/logs.
    Also point at #!/bin/nc termbin.com:9999.
  • ...

This might be obvious but few guidlines arent too much I think.

I'm going to close this and push the majority of the items later today.

There are some things which I haven't written sections for as I don't believe they belong in the post-installation guide (wayland, finding build logs, maintainer information, using kiss-fork, git history, bug reporting, de-cluttering /home, bluetooth, etc.

Most of these belong in a "package management" page (in a similar style to this one) and others in the replacement to the Wiki which I am also working on.
