Notleshes' Dotfiles

This repo contains all of my non-sensitive config files. It is meant to share this config between multiple Arch Linux installations (and support Ubuntu for at least a headless VM environment).

The repo is configured to use dotbot , which is done via a git submodule.

Using this repo

To use this repo, clone it and update submodules, then run the install script:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/notlesh/dotfiles .dotfiles
cd .dotfiles
./install

If it refuses to overwrite files and you're sure it would be OK to do so, force it by editing install.conf.yaml temporarily:

- defaults:
    link:
      ...
      force: true

Neovim

Neovim is my editor of choice and is a big part of this repo.

Note

Ubuntu packages a very old Neovim, use this PPA instead:

Initialization

Lazy is used to manage plugins. It is initialed in init.vim and should automatically load as needed.

Execute :Lazy to bring up a menu showing status about plugins.

Meson is used for LSPs.

Run :Meson for a nice UI.

WM / DE (Hyprland)

I'm using hyprland and friends as a Window Manager / Desktop Environment.

The main config for hyprland is broken up into a common part and individual files that import the common configuration. This is all under ~/.config/hypr. This repo is missing the standard config file (hyprland.conf), which is intended to be created as a symlink.

Files:

hyprland_common.conf
hyprland_machine_a.conf # sources hyprland_common.conf
...

To set this up:

ln -s hyprland_machine_a.conf hyprland.conf

This Hyprland config also needs some dependencies installed and enabled via systemd:

sudo pacman -S hypridle hyprlock hyprpaper hyprpolkitagent waybar
systemctl --user enable --now hyprpaper
systemctl --user enable --now hryppaper-rotate.timer

Shell

I'm using a fairly minimal zshell setup with starship for prompt theming along with system-provided zsh plugins. Arch packages required:

sudo pacman -S zsh starship zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-completions zsh-history-substring-search

Wallpaper rotating

I have a very crude rotating script at .bin/hyprland_wallpaper_shuffle.sh that rotates wallpapers randomly from those found in .config/backgrounds/*.

This can be automated with .config/systemd/user/hyprpaper-rotate.timer by running:

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now hyprpaper_rotate.timer

Cursor

I'm currently using Bibata: https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor.

It seems this needs to be configured in 3 ways:

• in .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini (handled in this repo)
• in .icons/default/index.theme (handled in this repo)
• by running gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme Bibata-Modern-Ice
