aurora desktop

My desktop: Arch Linux + Hyprland (Lua config) + aurora, a custom Quickshell shell (bar, panel, notifications, OSD, dock), themed live from the wallpaper with matugen and deployed with GNU stow.

aurora

One shell instead of waybar, dunst, wlogout, fuzzel and a pile of scripts. Everything below is themed from the current wallpaper.

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)

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, hyprpaper
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
