.dotfiles

My personal dotfiles for my Arch Linux setup.

You'll quickly notice I gravitate toward a minimal desktop using the Tokyo Night colorscheme. If that's your vibe too, you might enjoy this setup!

This repository includes both X11 and Wayland setups. The setup script can install either one individually, both, or neither.

Packages

Most packages are shared between setups, but some are protocol-specific. Here are the key packages used in this setup (doesn't include all packages, see install script for complete list):

Core Applications (Both Setups)

• dunst (notification daemon)
• kitty (terminal emulator)
• ly (display manager)
• neovim (text editor)
• rofi (application launcher)
• thunar (file manager)
• tmux (terminal multiplexer)
• tokyonight-gtk-theme-git (tokyo Night GTK theme (AUR))
• ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd (nerd font (AUR))
• zsh + Oh My Zsh (shell and framework)

X11 Specific

• arandr (display configuration GUI)
• feh (wallpaper setter)
• flameshot (screenshot utility)
• i3-wm (window manager)
• i3lock-color (screen locker (AUR))
• picom (X compositor)
• polybar (status bar)
• xautolock (idle management (AUR))

Wayland Specific

Installation

The script below fetches setup.sh, which configures the environment using helper scripts in /scripts.

Requirements: curl, bash, git and stow need to be installed. If they aren't, setup.sh will ask for confirmation and install them if allowed.

⚠️ Warning: This script is designed for fresh Arch Linux installations. If you're on an existing setup, back up your configurations before running it. While there are some guardrails in place, caution is always wise!

Quick Install (Both X11 & Wayland)

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2viny/.dotfiles/main/setup.sh)" -- -xwy

Custom Installation

You can also install specific components:

# X11 only
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2viny/.dotfiles/main/setup.sh)" -- -xy

# Wayland only
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2viny/.dotfiles/main/setup.sh)" -- -wy

# Base packages only (no desktop environment)
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2viny/.dotfiles/main/setup.sh)" -- -y

Setup Flags

• -x - Install X11 setup (i3-wm, polybar, picom, etc.)
• -w - Install Wayland setup (Hyprland, waybar, etc.)
• -y - Install yay, if needed, and AUR packages (themes, fonts, additional tools)

Note: This setup is optimized for my hardware configuration. You may need to adjust display settings, keybindings, or other hardware-specific configurations for your system. Feel free to reach out if you need help

Post-Installation

After running the setup script, complete these steps to finalize your installation:

1. Enable Display Manager:

   # Enable ly display manager
   sudo systemctl enable ly
   
   # If changing from an existing setup, disable old display manager
   # Common examples:
   sudo systemctl disable gdm      # GNOME
   sudo systemctl disable sddm     # KDE
   sudo systemctl disable lightdm  # XFCE
   sudo systemctl disable $old_dm  # Other

2. Install hardware dependent software (as needed):

   # this is a example, look up how
   # to set up based on your hardware
   sudo pacman -S mesa # AMD drivers

3. Configure System Services (as needed):

   # Network management
   sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager
   
   # Bluetooth support
   sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth
   
   # PulseAudio/Pipewire
   systemctl --user enable --now pulseaudio
   systemctl --user enable --now pipewire pipewire-pulse
   
   # Others
   sudo systemctl enable --now $systemd_managed_service

4. Reboot to ensure all changes take effect

Note: This setup intentionally avoids enabling system services automatically to prevent conflicts on existing installations. Enable services based on your specific hardware and requirements.
