💠 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 :)
Here for some eye candy? Jump to Gallery!
Setup
Configs were not written with portability in mind, while I'm trying to make it better, things might break.
-
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.
-
Get other dependencies:
-
Arch Linux (using
yay)yay -S rofi acpid dunst-git feh playerctl alsa-utils acpilight wireless_tools networkmanager
