ttybitnik/dotfiles

This repository contains my personal collection of scripts and configuration files.

The description is structured around the custom environments I run, including a FreeBSD headless laptop (tty environment), a Fedora desktop with Sway (wayland environment), and a Debian desktop with Dwm (xorg environment). It is worth noting that the TTY tools are employed across all environments.

Usage

Before using my dotfiles, change the personal environment values in ./tty/.bash_profile accordingly.

Symbolic links

To automate the process of creating symbolic links from the repository files to their respective locations, use one of the following commands in the dotfiles’ root directory .:

ℹ️ The TTY environment is automatically installed when choosing any of the graphical environment options.

TTY environment

make tty

Wayland environment

make wayland

Xorg environment

make xorg

Switcher

To switch between light and dark modes globally, just run switcher. This custom script sends SIGHUP signals to the respective programs, making it easy to adapt to changes in ambient light without having to manually adjust each program’s settings.

Omni

To automate system updates, run omni. This script checks for the availability of various package managers and executes the corresponding update commands. It ensures that every manager present in the enviroment update its packages.

Hermes

To display a MOTD with a log of last logins and a custom fortune, run hermes. This script is designed to be executed automatically in every interactive login shell through hermes.service and .bash_profile. For more details, check the script comments.

Euterpe

To streamline the music experience, just run euterpe. This script leverages tmux to attach to a session with windows related to managing system sound and media.

Miscellaneous

This section contains additional fine-tuning configurations for the packages and projects that I use in conjunction with my dotfiles.

Ytfzf and yt-dlp

To improve the performance of ytfzf, I recommend creating a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp to /usr/bin/youtube-dl. This makes ytfzf work through yt-dlp instead of the hard-coded youtube-dl. Additionally, make sure to install ffmpeg for the highest video quality.

GTK Emacs-like key bindings

To enable Emacs-style key bindings within the GTK-based applications, make the following changes to the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file:

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs

TTY environment

Wayland environment

Xorg environment

Mouse speed

To adjust the mouse speed in Xorg, create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf with the following content:

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "My Mouse"
	Driver "libinput"
	MatchIsPointer "yes"
	Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
	Option "AccelSpeed" "0"
EndSection

After saving the file, restart Xorg.
