|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install all the packages listed below. Then,

||
|
|
#+begin_src
|
||
|
|
cd ~/.config
|
||
|
|
git init
|
||
|
|
git remote add origin $SOURCE

|
||
|
|
A note about themes: The themes must be placed in ~/usr/share/sddm/themes~.
|
||
|
|
Then in ~/etc/sddm.conf~, enable the relevant theme. By default the breeze
|
||
|
|
theme comes with ~plasma-workspace~ which is very bloated to install, so
|
||
|
|
consider some of the alternative themes.

|
|
* Fonts
|
||
|
|
|

|
- ~otf-font-awesome~: Needed for ~waybar~ to render icons
