Manjaro Deep Learning Dotfiles

Most opinionated features of this ML-focused i3 rice:

• Builds MKL-optimized python libs via undocumented hack that doesn't require icc !
  • Higher performance than anaconda
  • Less diabolical to setup than python-mkl-numpy
• Privacy-centric chromium patchset overlaid via flags + policy files. Provides most of the inox patchset without the source builds, feature breakage, or version lag.
• Additional Sublime Text + GTK theming for wal (colors change based on desktop wallpaper)
• Boarderless YouTube player via Tampermonkey userscripts, chromium flags, and custom i3 layout
• Dank polybar magic
• Ricey system-level performance tweaks in rice.sh boost wifi performance, compilation speed / performance, and boot speed / silence,
