v0.2α working

Requirements

• Arch-based distro: Arch, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, etc.
• A mostly clean install. Replaced configs are backed up automatically.

Hardware

• RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended.
• GPU: Intel, AMD or NVIDIA with compatible wayland drivers.
• Display: Will look much better if you use IPS or VA.

As reference for this, I tried it on a Lenovo X240 with 8GB of DDR3L, and although the panel type is TN, the experience performance-wise was rather usable

Installation

READ ALL

Works for Arch, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, etc. (testing for Nyarch soon)

This is mainly intended for a clean installation (existing configuration files that are being replaced will be backed up automatically).

First install git and a package installer (paru or yay) then use the next command and continue the installation until it's finished

sudo pacman -S git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git   

git clone https://github.com/sychr45/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

After the installation finishes log out and back in (or restart).

[!important] Do not move or delete the dotfiles repository after installation.

This setup uses symbolic links (symlinks) that point to files inside the cloned repository. If you move or delete the repository, those symlinks will break.

[!note] Screenshot mode is toggled off with esc

Super + Grave means Super + ` <- the button to the left of 1 and above tab but below esc
