openSUSE: refresh repos on startup with systemd

For i3blocks updates blocklet to work, repos need to be refreshed at some point.

Write the following to /etc/systemd/system/zypper-refresh.service

[Unit]
Description=Refresh zypper repos at startup
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=zypper refresh
RestartSec=7200

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then reload systemd by running systemctl daemon-reload and enable the new service with systemctl enable zypper-refresh.service

rofi

zsh

I'm using oh-my-zsh to facilitate customization. Please install it before using stow. Follow these instructions for zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin.

This config uses starship cross-shell prompt.

For emojis support in starship prompt, follow this guide. tl;dr: just download Google Noto Color Emoji and EmojiOne Android, drop them to ~/.local/share/fonts/ and run fc-cache -v -f. Terminal should be restarted.

xinit

Dependencies: - gnome-keyring

Notes

To send notifications, there is notify-send.
To see symbolic key name there is the program xev (xorg-xev).
stow is a good software to manage dotfiles (stow -t ~ -S FOLDER_NAME to symlink content of FOLDER_NAME into home)
