My long-term war machine has a perfect "fit" for its "outfit". It runs Arch Linux frankenstein-ed over the years to match how I work. I’ve tuned it all out. It’s stable and fast as fuck. Every piece was carefully chosen, tested like a lab project. Here how it looks like:
here’s the dotfiles, you should be careful tho as it may break urs *YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED* | unixporn’s reddit thread
System Overview
- OS: Arch Linux
- Terminal: kitty
- Shell: zsh + antidote
- Window Manager: dwm + gazillion patches
- Login Manager: sddm + where-is-my-sddm-theme (slock for lock)
- Editor: neovim + some plugins
I use kitty for terminal, which is fast, gpu-accelerated, and the cursor smear. zsh with antidote provides shell features like auto-suggestions and instant prompt, even vi-like bindings. dwm is the window manager that I finally settled too, the reason is that I customized everything on the source code myself. No compositor because I’m super cool and handsome. For the editor, I use neovim cause so I can be superior and cool (I don’t use avante or cursor-like setup for AI-completion, that thing will make you dumb). Everything here is keyboard-driven, you will rarely use your mouse. Everyone's happy, you’re happy, that guy’s happy, and I hope I am happy as well with this work setup.
# i dont have time writing the installation from ground up
