| 5 | My desktop: **Arch Linux + Hyprland** (Lua config) + **aurora**, a custom Quickshell shell (bar, panel, |
| 6 | notifications, OSD, dock), themed live from the wallpaper with **pywal16** and deployed with **GNU stow**. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ## aurora |
| 9 | One shell instead of waybar, dunst, wlogout, fuzzel and a pile of scripts. Everything below is themed from the |
| 10 | current wallpaper. |

| 43 | > [!WARNING] |
| 44 | > **This is my personal setup, not a general purpose dotfiles framework.** |
| 45 | > |
| 46 | > It's built around my hardware (Lenovo Legion, Intel + NVIDIA hybrid graphics, `linux-zen`), my monitors, |
| 47 | > my keyboard and my habits. I'm not trying to make it work for everyone, and I won't be adding options |
| 48 | > or support for other setups. It's public as a **reference**, or for people who want **exactly the same |
| 49 | > setup** as me. |
| 50 | > |
| 51 | > **Only run `install.sh` on a freshly installed, unconfigured Arch Linux system.** It installs a lot of |
| 52 | > packages (NVIDIA drivers included if you pick them), replaces your configs with symlinks, changes your login |
| 53 | > shell and can enable system services. Don't run it on a system you already use. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ## Just want a piece of it? |
| 56 | You don't need the installer for that. Browse the repo and copy what you like, for example: |
| 57 | - `.config/quickshell/aurora/`: the shell (needs Quickshell; it reads its colours from `~/.cache/wal/colors.json`) |
| 58 | - `.config/hypr/`: Hyprland in the new Lua config format |
| 59 | - `.local/bin/`: small scripts (`setwall`, `brictl`, `sysact`, `tms`, ...) |
| 60 | - `.config/wal/templates/`: pywal16 templates for Hyprland, zathura, cava |
| 61 | |
| 62 | ## Installing (fresh Arch only) |
| 63 | ```bash |
| 64 | git clone https://git.krolyxon.com/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles |
| 65 | cd ~/.dotfiles |
| 66 | ./install.sh # interactive: pick packages per group |
| 67 | ./install.sh --yes # pre-select the default packages, no pickers |
| 68 | ./install.sh --check # only compare installed packages with the lists, changes nothing |
| 69 | ``` |
| 70 | The repo has to live at `~/.dotfiles` (stow links into the parent directory). |
| 71 | |
| 72 | What `install.sh` does: |
| 73 | 1. Refuses to run as root or on anything other than Arch, and asks for confirmation if the system doesn't |
| 74 | look fresh (another desktop's config, or lots of configs this repo doesn't provide). |
| 75 | 2. Installs `stow gum git zsh`, shows the disclaimer, then lets you pick packages per group. |
| 76 | 3. Runs `stow . --no-folding`. Files that are in the way are **moved** to `~/.dotfiles-backup/<date>/`, not deleted. |
| 77 | 4. Sets zsh as your login shell. |
| 78 | 5. Installs `paru` if it's missing, then installs the desktop packages and everything you picked. |
| 79 | 6. Optionally copies `system/etc/keyd/default.conf` to `/etc/keyd` and enables `keyd` (capslock: tap esc, hold ctrl). |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Afterwards, reboot and log in to Hyprland. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | ## Packages |
| 84 | The lists live in `packages/*.txt`: one package per line, `#` for comments, and a trailing `!` means |
| 85 | "listed, but not pre-selected". |
| 86 | |
| 87 | | file | | |
| 88 | |---|---| |
| 89 | | `desktop.txt` | always installed: Hyprland, Quickshell, PipeWire, the tools the shell and keybinds call | |
| 90 | | `utils.txt` | CLI tools, fonts, media, small utilities | |
| 91 | | `dev.txt` | development tools | |
| 92 | | `gpu.txt` | Intel + NVIDIA (`nvidia-open-dkms`) drivers. Change this for your hardware | |
| 93 | | `optional.txt` | desktop apps | |
| 94 | | `aur.txt` | AUR packages (installed with paru) | |
| 95 | | `base.txt` | reference only, never installed: what the base install already provides | |
| 96 | |
