Omarchy Linux post-install notes

Capturing some notes for myself

Bulk Package Install

Create a packages.txt file and add one package per line. Then do:

$ yay -S --needed - < packages.txt

Vim + plugins setup

Copy .vimrc to $HOME. Install the vim-plug program on top of base vim:

$ curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Restart vim and in command mode, type :PlugInstall to install the plugins declared in .vimrc.

A new window will open showing the installation progress for all your plugins (like NERDTree, Airline, etc.). Once it's finished, you can close the status window using :q

Restart vim to load all the new plugins. Profit!

Hyprland and other config files

• Copy the files in hypr-config-files to ~/.config/hypr folder for configuring touchpad, night shift settings, and display sizing.Then, run hyprctl reload to reload the config files.
• Copy alacritty.toml to ~/.config/alacritty folder to set the system-wide font and size.
