current

• switched to Fedora on my private machines as I work more in the RHEL field now
  • my old setup with i3 and mate became to custom
• now using gnome-shell with some extensions to get a tiling WM with a decent DE
  • forge (tiling)
  • space-bar (workspace indicator)
  • AppIndicator (app-tray)
  • Lock Keys (virtual capslock indicator)

fast-start (installing dotfiles)

• update-dotfiles is a bash-function in my .bashrc and downloads (and triggers refresh)
  • .bashrc
  • .tmux.conf
  • .vimrc
• fast deployment of my dotfiles via:

wget --no-check-certificate -q -O ~/.bashrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/termnml/dotfiles/main/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
update-dotfiles

old

My dotfiles are designed to be used on Manjaro. The pkg-manager pacman is used for the manjaro-repos and pamac for AUR-repo.

My desktop-environment of choice consists of the windowmanager i3 in conjunction with the DE mate.

Install

The installation includes the installation of required packages (with pacman and pamac (Manjaro)) with packages_base and packages_desktop in combination with setting symlinks into home (~) of the user (appending _pre_dotfile to already present configs before creating the links).

./install.sh -b

• installs the packages_base for system without a GUI
• sets configs for CLI-programs

./install.sh -i3

• install the packages_base and packages_i3
• manual steps throught the GUI are required
  • open dconf to change used components of mate
    • /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components/windowmanager
      • change from marco to i3
    • /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components-list
      • remove filemanager from the array of the components
    • /com/solus-project/brisk-menu/hot-key
      • <mod6>d for Windows-Key+d to open the menu
