Welcome to a part guide, part dotfiles repository! This repository includes a comprehensive guide to installing Linux and the components it is made of. It is essentially a beginner friendly wiki.
In this folder, I will go through an standard installation of Linux. I mainly cover the distro Manjaro and Arch Linux, yet the instructions are broad enough that you will help with any distro you prefer to use.
If you are a beginner, and perform your first installation of Linux, go to installation.
If you are have some experience with Unix based system, and would like to perform a more challenging Linux installation, go to advance installation.
If you have an existing Linux installation and want to rice it (make it cooler and better), go to ricing.
If you have an existing installation and would like to find some quality software (and some documentation on how to use them), go to tools.
In this folder, I have a copy of my dotfiles for certain programs. The dotfiles contain a decent amount of comments to explain the settings and you might draw some inspiration from them.
I am also working on a bootstrap program. Which would install suitable programs and dotfiles (sensible dotfiles) on a Arch based distro. It would allow you to quickly step up a decent system to tinker with, or simply save time when installing Linux on a new computer. This program takes inspiration from Luke Smith's LARBS.
I am a high school student. I am a very new Linux user. I fell in love with Linux about half a year ago. Where I started out with using Manjaro i3. Yet, I am very passionate, and have been doing a lot of exploring. This repository is a sum of my research and efforts.
But because I am no professional programmer or long time Linux user, take my advice with a grain of salt. Backup your files before typing commands from this repository as maybe sometime (hopefully never) something will go wrong.
