Arch Linux tweaks

This is a collection of the tweaks and modification I've made to my Arch Linux installation over the months. These may be applicable to other distros, but please check first before doing anything. I also included Arch Wiki references for all the procedures I mentioned. My recommendation is not to blindly follow this gist but to always check with the Arch Linux wiki first. Things move fast and by the time you're reading this my gist may be out of date. Lastly, the golden rule: never execute a command you don't understand.

Installing the KDE Plasma desktop

My current DE of choice is KDE's Plasma. I find it just about perfect.

Demo: String Templates in Bash

The best way to create a multiline string template variable which has variables within it and contains double quotes.

IMPORTANT: The variable inserts must be assigned before the string template is declared and before it's used! EACH TIME THE INSERTS ARE MODIFIED, THE TEMPLATE MUST BE RE-RECLARED! For this reason it's sometimes handy to put the template def inside a function so you can call/re-call it before using it.
