#+title: Cross-Platform Configuration Files

This is a list of cross-platform configuration files which can be placed in
~.config~ directory and enabled at will.

* Installation

Install all the packages listed below. Then,
#+begin_src
cd ~/.config
git init
git remote add origin $SOURCE
git pull origin main
#+end_src

** Doom emacs

Install via (can also be placed in ~.emacs~ directory)
#+begin_src bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs
~/.config/emacs/bin/doom sync
~/.config/emacs/bin/doom env
#+end_src

** Fish

Install and set the default shell to ~fish~.

** Utilities

- ~alacritty~: terminal emulator

  Note that in order to set this as the default terminal, you may need to put
  the following in ~~/.config/kdeglobals~:
  #+begin_src
  [General]
  TerminalApplication
  #+end_src
- ~mpd~: Music player daemon
  #+begin_src sh
systemctl enable --user mpd
systemctl start --user mpd
  #+end_src
  Optionally, install ~mpc~
- ~cantata~: Controls mpd (other clients are acceptable too)
- ~btop~/~htop~: Process monitor

*** Screenfetch

- ~neofetch~: Screenfetch
- ~macchina~ (aur): Another screenfetch

* Hyprland Desktop Environment

** Login Manager

The login manager is not managed by this configuration but mentioned here since
it interacts with the desktop environment. For ~hyprland~, ~sddm~ is
recommended.

- ~sddm~: Enable ~sddm.service~

  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
- Noto Sans/Serif: System font

** Hyprland

Note: Setup does not work with NVIDIA GPU without some tweaks.

- [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland][wayland]]: display manager: ~wayland~, ~xorg-xwayland~
- [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland][hyprland]]: window manager
- ~waybar~: Status bar, use ~waybar-hyprland-git~ AUR repo to enable clicking!
- ~eww-wayland~: Another status bar, requires ~socat~ to listen for hyprland events.

  Until [[https://github.com/elkowar/eww/issues/111][tray support]] has been added to ~eww~ in a stable manner, tray will be handled with waybar.
- ~hyprpaper~: Wallpaper engine

  The command to set a wallpaper:
  ~hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "$DISPLAY,$FILE"~
- [[https://github.com/Horus645/swww][swww]]: Alternate wallpaper engine

  Note that ~~/.config/hypr/wallpapers~ must have jpeg files ~{1..8}.jpg~. A
  handy command can be used crop and resize images:
  #+begin_src bash
convert $IN \
	-resize 3840x2160^ \
	-gravity center \
	-extent 3840x2160 \
	$OUT
  #+end_src
- ~swaync~: Notification server

The command for changing keyboard layouts is handled by ~fcitx5~.

** Utilities

- ~wofi~: finding programs, drop in replacement for ~rofi~
- ~grimblast~: Screenshot engine
- ~dolphin~: File explorer
- ~swaylock-effects~: A simple lockscreen
- ~wl-clipboard~: Provides copying
- ~blueman~: Bluetooth connector

*** Configuration

- ~lxappearance~: Used to configure GTK3 themes
- ~nwg-look~: Configures cursor
- ~wev~: Wayland event interceptor useful for determining keybinds

* Dot Files

All the configurations which must appear as dot files are not included:
- ~.bashrc~
- ~.vimrc~: Workaround is to install NeoVim
- ~.spacemacs~
The following default files are not included for the same reason:
- ~.astylerc~
- ~.clang-format~
- ~.latexmkrc~
