rde
Developers and power user friendly GNU/Linux distribution. More info is available at trop.in/rde.
Disclaimer: The project is in an active development stage.
Principles
More detailed description can be found in the manual.
Main
- Ergonomic
- Sane keybindings, good contrast, readable fonts.
- Reproducible
- Setup can be easily replicated.
- Hackable
- Easy to throw out or modify any part of setup.
- Stateless
- All state must be explicit and syncable or temporary.
Secondary
- Lightweight and battery efficient
- wayland, fast native apps.
- Offline
- most of workflows and apps should work without network.
- Attention-friendly
- minimal use of notification and other distractive things.
Usage
rde heavily relies on Guix Home and Guix System, it’s able to provide
both a home-environment
and operating-system
records, which can be
used by guix home
and guix system
respectively. It’s not ready for
wide audience yet, but for very curious people: my current config is
here and I use following commands to apply it:
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde
cd rde
make home
Read more about home-environment
at Home Configuration.
GNU Guix and git should be installed before invoking commands above.
The alternative and more apropriate way to use rde will be described later.
Guix Home
Guix Home
is a part of GNU Guix now, no additional installation steps
are required.
People’s Guix Home configurations
Those repositories are not affilated with rde or Guix, they are provided as real-world Guix Home usage examples, but be careful and thoughtful, remember that blindly copying snippets of code from the internet can have a huge security implications on your setup.
- yoctocell’s full-blown configuration with variety of software.
- krevedkokun’s Emacs(Evil)/Wayland(Sway) compact and clean config.
- Nicolas Graves’ dotfiles forked from krevedkokun’s.
- akagi’s configurations, home and system services and packages.
