Config files for Arch Linux

Mainly, it is just template/example for your own configs.

Okay, show me what you got

• os: arch linux
• package manager: paru
• wm: bspwm
• bar: polybar
• terminal: wezterm
• shell: zsh + zoxide as replacement for cd
• editor: nvim
• some additional stuff, listed in .config/get_packages.sh

Structure

All my configs located here. I use stow to create soft-links to them in home folder. For example: after cd ~/config; stow . ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc is now soft-link to ~/config/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc

Some additional scripts (located in .config):

• custom_vars.sh - I use this one to determine if scripts runs on my pc or on my notebook (their hostnames are different). Plus I declare there some additional variables like WALLPAPERS_FOLDER.
• get_packages.sh - Echoes main packages needed for system to work.
• install.sh - Installs paru, updates packages and installs every package that get_packages.sh echoes.
• change_sink_source.sh - Personal script to change between headphones and speakers.

How to set up

1. Download Arch image, burn it into the flash (or use Ventoy, multiple ISO images on one USB stick)
2. Connect to Wi-Fi (if you use notebook)
3. Launch archinstall and configure for your need (for Profile section I use Bspwm, audio: pipewire)
4. In additional packages you specify git stow wezterm
5. Hit Install
6. chrot in your system
7. cd /home/here_goes_your_username/ (username is maks in my case, not root!)
8. git clone https://github.com/dudozermaks/config.git (or choose your own repo)
9. cd config
10. touch secret_vars.sh
11. chmod 755 secret_vars.sh
12. stow . (read about that one in Structure section)
13. exit
14. reboot

Now you have (almost) fully functional Bspwm setup. Then login to Bspwm session with your user credentials.

1. Open terminal with Super+Enter
2. chmod 755 ~/.config/install.sh
3. ~/.config/install.sh
4. chsh (use /usr/bin/zsh)

Now main setup is done!

You can download some wallpapers into .config/wallpapers folder. feh would choose random one on every startup.
