Installation

From Scratch

For a full installation follow step 1 and all substeps from Archlinux - Installation guide. Also make sure that any other drive you want in your fstab file is also mounted. After this you will want to run:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jokesper/dotfiles/main/.dotfiles/arch.sh | bash -s <path> <hostname> <kernel> <username>

The paramaters are as follows:

• <path> is your mount point, e.g. if you followed step 1.11 it should be /mnt
• <hostname> is the hostname for the new machine (e.g. read Choosing a Name for Your Computer)
• <kernel> the specific kernel you want to use which may be one of:
  • stable
  • hardened
  • lts
  • rt-lts
  • zen
  • any available kernel package
• <username> the username of the default account, which also is in the wheel group

An example of this command may be:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jokesper/dotfiles/main/.dotfiles/arch.sh | bash -s /mnt my-new-computer stable "John Doe"

On a new User

This repo has strong entanglement between system and user. It is designed as a single user system. If you still want to add a new user run the following commands, but be warned, they will destroy your previous home directory.

bash +O dotglob +O nullglob -c 'rm -rf ~/*'
git clone https://github.com/jokesper/dotfiles.git ~

Contributing

If you want to contribute feel free, but I wouldn't encourage it as dotfiles should be a personalized configuration.

dotfiles's Issues

`/etc/profile' is not read by fish, which causes an incorrect path environment variable.

When starting fish /etc/profile is not executed due to fish not being posix complient.
This results in numerous problems like rust-analyzer not working, as it is not added to the path.

Wierd behavior for keyboard in tty

The new Shift keys don't seem to work.
They still print the lowercase variants.
When using them together with the num keys for chars like '$' nothing happens.
Furthermore holding the new backspace key will not result in a repeated deletion action.
