✨ about ✨

my dotfiles for arch linux, managed using git and dotbot. the main focus of this rice is to create a minimalistic linux system. eye candy is desired, however, minimalism and performance come first. a majority of the tools that i use with this rice follow the suckless software design philsophy. i believe that is a way of writing software that more people should adapt to.

💿 install

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~unrealapex/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install

🗒️ notes

this rice is not intended for use by others, however, you're welcome to if you wish. the information below might be of use to you.

my builds of dwm, dmenu, slock, etc.. are stored in separate git repositories. dotbot is configured to build them.

you probably want to comment out every script that will run in the shell: section of install.conf.yaml except for scripts/pacman.

window decorations are not functional since window management is primarily done through the keyboard, therefore, it is more logical to disable them. this can be done in most gui apps by enabling the "use system titlebars" option.

secrets files for programs that have secrets(irssi, git) are in secrets.
