> [!WARNING]
> **This is my personal setup, not a general purpose dotfiles framework.**
>
> It's built around my hardware (Lenovo Legion, Intel + NVIDIA hybrid graphics, `linux-zen`), my monitors,
> my keyboard and my habits. I'm not trying to make it work for everyone, and I won't be adding options
> or support for other setups. It's public as a **reference**, or for people who want **exactly the same
> setup** as me.
>
> **Only run `install.sh` on a freshly installed, unconfigured Arch Linux system.** It installs a lot of
> packages (NVIDIA drivers included if you pick them), replaces your configs with symlinks, changes your login
> shell and can enable system services. Don't run it on a system you already use.
## Installing (fresh Arch only)
```bash
git clone https://git.krolyxon.com/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install.sh # interactive: pick packages per group
./install.sh --yes # pre-select the default packages, no pickers
./install.sh --check # only compare installed packages with the lists, changes nothing
```
The repo has to live at `~/.dotfiles` (stow links into the parent directory).
## Packages
The lists live in `packages/*.txt`: one package per line, `#` for comments, and a trailing `!` means
"listed, but not pre-selected".
| file | |
|---|---|
| `desktop.txt` | always installed: Hyprland, Quickshell, PipeWire, the tools the shell and keybinds call |
| `utils.txt` | CLI tools, fonts, media, small utilities |
| `dev.txt` | development tools |
| `gpu.txt` | Intel + NVIDIA (`nvidia-open-dkms`) drivers. Change this for your hardware |
| `optional.txt` | desktop apps |
| `aur.txt` | AUR packages (installed with paru) |
| `base.txt` | reference only, never installed: what the base install already provides |
## What's inside
| | |
|---|---|
| WM | Hyprland (Lua config), hypridle, hyprlock; aurora draws the wallpaper (mono dots, colour dots or photo) |
| Shell / bar | aurora (Quickshell) |
| Theming | matugen: picking a wallpaper in aurora (or `setwall`) re-themes everything (GTK via adw-gtk3, Qt via qt6ct); accent = the wallpaper's own colour, near-black surfaces. The terminal (foot) too, with ANSI colours tinted toward the wallpaper |
| Terminal / shell | foot, zsh |
| Editor | Neovim (LazyVim) |
| Launcher / menus | aurora's runner (`aurora-run`, also a dmenu replacement for scripts) |
| Files | lf, pcmanfm |
| Music / video | mpd + ncmpcpp, mpv |
| Font / icons | Doto, Space Grotesk, Space Mono (shell UI, vendored in `.local/share/fonts/glyph`), JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, Papirus-Dark |
