dotfiles

I have almost everything configured to use some variant of the gruvbox theme.

The keyboard repo contains code for using the event interface through python-evdev to contruct arbitrary keyboard layouts. Its undocumented right now.

Installation

This repo should be cloned into the home directory. Stow is used for installation, so existing files will never be deleted. To install everything run ./install.sh. See ./install.sh -h for options.

Notes

It is possible to install nvim without root using this approach.

I am not making these parts into a script because it should probably be run at most several lines at a time. Some lines require user input.

Arch

Note: install watchman potentially.

After running general installs:

npm i -g tldr bash-language-server neovim

General

./change_directory_names.sh
ln -sfn "$PWD/user-dirs.dirs" ~/.config
sudo cp "root_configs/etc/udev/rules.d/85-input.rules" \
  /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo cp "root_configs/etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf" \
  /etc/modules-load.d/
sudo usermod -aG input $USER
./install.sh main
source ~/.profile
nvm install --lts
source ~/.profile
nvim +PlugInstall +qa
cd ~/.fzf && ./install --all && cd -
bat cache --build
sudo cp root_configs/usr/local/bin/env_editor /usr/local/bin/env_editor &&
  sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/env_editor /usr/bin/editor

Consider changing to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text mitigations=off"

in /etc/default/grub. Additional language servers and watchmen for coc may also be desirable. Consider running:

echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches &&
  echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_queued_events &&
  echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances &&
  watchman shutdown-server && sudo sysctl -p

The following can speed up boot time

sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service

Not sure how needed these are...

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service
# just improves multiuser times?
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-persistenced.service

Considering installing cling. Consider installing lld (the LLVM Linker) and setting it as default by symlinking to ~/.local/bin.
