Reminder of things to set up after installing a new Arch-like

arch-postinstall

assumes a basic desktop environment has been configured.

------------------------------------------------

if there's an applicable backup of my /home, restore:
    this file
    .zsh_history
    .zshrc WITH A RENAME
    .gitconfig
    .emacs BUT DOUBLE-CHECK NO LOCAL PACKAGE CRAP IS HARDCODED
    .gnupg
    .ssh
    .oh-my-zsh/custom
    Audio
    cert I THINK
    Documents
    Downloads
    Games
    Music
    Pictures
    Videos
    secret-discord-config.json PROBABLY
    from .config:
        htop
        libreoffice
        mpv
        picmi
    from Desktop:
        CHECK MANUALLY
    from src:
        ANYTHING NOT ON VCS (probably nothing)

------------------------------------------------

install zsh
add oh-my-zsh
install terminator
install emacs-nox
    (setq make-backup-files nil)
install bat
install meld (probably)
deal with .zshrc now
    if not copying, important bits are:
        ZSH_THEME="strug"
        HYPHEN_INSENSITIVE="true"
        COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS="true"
        # things I've moved to .oh-my-zsh/custom:
            export EDITOR=/usr/bin/emacs
            export DIFFPROG=/usr/bin/meld
            export ZSTD_CLEVEL=9
            export ZSTD_NBTHREADS=24
            setopt appendhistory
            setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY
install ccache
edit makepkg.conf
    CFLAGS: -march=native
    CFLAGS: -fomit-frame-pointer
    MAKEFLAGS: -j24
    RUSTFLAGS: -C target-cpu=native
    BUILDFLAGS: ccache
    OPTIONS: lto
    COMPRESSXZ: --threads=24
    COMPRESSZST: --threads=24
install paru
install reflector
    EndeavourOS's Welcome app supersedes this
    20 latest, country USA, only HTTPS, sort by rate
install authy and:
    have your phone handy.
    run it once to get it all situated.
install + finish configuring firefox
install android messages
set up /nas automount
    options are: rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=joe,auto,vers=3.0,credentials=/home/joe/.smbcredentials,x-systemd.automount,_netdev
    in .smbcredentials:
        username=joe
        password=nope
check out the CUPS page on ArchWiki for installing the printer
    at the time of writing, Connection Interfaces > Network has important links
sudo -E visudo
    uncomment the "Defaults env_keep" line for LANG.
    if you're actively being targeted by the Mossad:
        why are you here?
    else:
        uncomment the "Defaults env_keep" line for HOME.
        uncomment the "Defaults env_keep" line for XDG_SESSION_COOKIE.
    Defaults env_keep += "EDITOR"
    Defaults passwd_timeout=0
    uncomment the line for %wheel
        if you need me to say it's the one without NOPASSWD:
            delete this file.  relearn it all.  this is a memory aid, not a thinking substitute.

double-check Ctrl-Shift-U... you probably need to do something from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IBus if it's not working.

------------------------------------------------

specific to EndeavourOS (maybe others):
    FirewallD is preinstalled... I don't mind this, but it does need configuration:
        wired connection should be "home" zone
        "home" zone should permit kdeconnect (don't forget Configuration: Permanent)

------------------------------------------------

specific to KDE Plasma:
    Appearance > global theme, dark
    Workspace > Workspace Behavior > General Behavior > clicking files or folders SELECTS them
    Workspace > Workspace Behavior > Screen Edges > disable crap
    Workspace > Workspace Behavior > Screen Locking > pay attention to this page in particular, is all
    Workspace > Window Management > Task Switcher > Main + Alternative > Content > Sort order should be "Recently used" (why is this not the default)
    Workspace > Shortcuts > Terminator should be Ctrl+Alt+T
    Workspace > Startup and Shutdown > Desktop Session > When logging in: Start with an empty session
    Personalization > Applications > File Associations > (probably just cry at how much you lost and will have to regain, because this is a nightmare)
    Personalization > Applications > Default Applications > pay attention to this page in particular, is all
    Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Hardware > Delay: 200 ms
    Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced > Position of Compose key > Scroll Lock
    Hardware > Power Management > Energy Saving > pay attention to this page in particular, is all
    Hardware > Printers > find it
    Right-click Application Launcher > Configure Application Launcher... > Keyboard Shortcuts > Meta+F1 (in KDE Plasma 5.25 at least, this is enough to make bare "Meta" key work)
    `/etc/environment` needs `KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS=1` until I can figure out how to do this properly.

------------------------------------------------

you should be able to take care of the rest from here.
