💠 Arch 💠 i3 💠 Nord 💠

Had some spare time so I installed Arch and setup up something nice!

• OS: Arch Linux
• WM: i3 gaps
• Shell: Zsh + ohmyzsh
• Terminal: Kitty + nord-kitty
• Editor: Neovim + vim-plug
• File Manager: Ranger
• Document Viewer: Zathura
• Color Scheme: Nord

Jump to the Setup section for more details!

This setup still has a long way to go before it comes anywhere close to perfection, however, it works for me and I seek to improve it with time :)

Setup

Configs were not written with portability in mind, while I'm trying to make it better, things might break.

1. Install Airblader's i3 (i3-gaps), i3blocks and i3lock.

   Optionally, replace i3lock with i3lock-color. Arch users can get the i3lock-color-git (AUR) package.

2. Get other dependencies:

   • Arch Linux (using yay)

     yay -S rofi acpid dunst-git feh playerctl alsa-utils acpilight wireless_tools networkmanager

   • Enable acpid:

     # For .config/notifications/(un)plugged.sh
     sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
     sudo systemctl start acpid.service

Summary:

Package	Description
rofi	Dmenu replacement
picom-ibhagwan	A lightweight compositor for X11
playerctl	To fetch metadata about the song/video being played
feh	A fast and light image viewer, can set a wallpaper
dunst	Lightweight notification daemon
acpid	Daemon for delivering ACPI events
acpilight	Provides xbacklight utility for brightness control
alsa-utils	Provides amixer utility for volume control
wireless_tools, networkmanager	Necessary for the wifi and vpn i3blocks

3. Get them fonts!

   • JetBrains Mono - Monospace
   • Material Design Icons - Icons
   • Rubik - Sans Serif

   Unzip the fonts to ~/.fonts or ~/.local/share/fonts and run fc-cache -v to build the font info cache.

4. Clone my repo and put all files under .config in your ~/.config and you should be good to go!

   • Caution : Customary heads up that this step will not work for all the configs/scripts.
