Arch Notes

AUR-helpers

• bauerbill, python3, trust management, sicher (kompatibel mit pacman syntax)
• trizen, perl, sicher, beliebt
• yay go, fish-completion

Fonts - Bitmap

• Tewi
• ProFont
• Proggy
• Tamsyn
• UniFont absolute unit, this one
• good repo that collects a lot of bitmap fonts

KMS - Kernel Mode Settings

Video Card control is now kernel-space responsibility (default: userspace via xserer). Faster, neater, all round sensible.

Wayland

Is it the future? Possibly.

Depends on WM availability.

Wayland-compatible WMs

• Sway i3-compatible WM. looks damn nice.
• way-cooler i3-style tiling with awesome-style config (Lua). name is a big plus.

Not viable with NVIDIA right now

Xresources Management

Nice Reddit wiki here.

GTK Theme

Nice overview here. Info for streamlining GTK/Qt look (also see Theme Engines there) on the arch wiki.

General Ricing

Decent writeup on reddit.

Topics to clear:

• WM
• Filemanager
• Terminal Emulator
• dotfile manager
• pywal?
• neovim
• neomutt
• tmux/byobu?
• shell? probably fish with omf
• generall shell stuff in this awesome-list
  • fisherman.
