These are the dotfiles, config-files and scripts of my gentoo box.
The main goal of this setup is to have a minimal, distraction-free, but still pleasant-looking working environment for daily computer usage (coding and scripting, web-browsing, chatting, etc.).
In short, there are two reasons why I'm using gentoo for this setup:
- It somewhat forces me not to install non-minimal programmes and/or a lot of packages in general, since it would take a long time to compile
- I wanted to try out gentoo
Here's an overview an overview of the software I use:
| Category | Name |
|---|---|
| wm | dwm |
| bar | dwm / slstatus |
| terminal | alacritty |
| shell | zsh w/ oh-my-zsh |
| compositor | picom |
| text Editor | nvim |
| file browser | ranger |
| browser | librewolf |
| music player | ncmpcpp |
| pdf-viewer | zathura |
| launcher | dmenu |
After using vim for quite some time, I recently switched to nvim and ported (and also de-cluttered) my config. The config is still a WIP and some features, like LaTeX support, are still missing.
My nvim config includes the following:
- lsp-completion
- lsp-syntax checking
- enhanced lsp-syntax highlighting (treesitter)
- snippets
- easier nav-bindings for jumping buffers
- some visual enhancements
If you want to learn more about my nvim setup, check out my blog post.
Librewolf offers good privacy defaults and uses firefox as it's base, so it was easy to port my existing config.
I use these plugins:
- ublock (included by default), webRTC-leak-blocker enabled!
- user-agent spoofer
- https-everywhere (technically not needed)
- darkreader
- keepassxc extension
The kernel-config included in this repo is tailored to my hardware, so I wouldn't recommend using it without some tweaking. In general this kernel includes the following:
- amd cpu (ryzen) support w/ microcode
- nvidia drm drivers (not nouveau)
- nvme-ssd support
- audio over usb
- lz4 kernel compression
And some other hardware specific modules found by running lspci -k | grep use. The initramfs is generated with genkernel.
The system's theme is dracula with some modified colors (mainly the background) to bring out the purple shades of the palette. Purple colorschemes fit gentoo systems well in my opinion. Here's how it looks in nvim:
My librewolf is styled using a custom userChrome.css, which is based on this great repo. I changed the colors to match the dracula system theme. As a startpage, I use a simple website that I wrote myself (see .config/startpage/).
Most scripts are used in nvim as bindings (e.g. to compile a file), but there are also other scripts used for "quality of life" improvements.
- bra: "brightness adjust" through xrandr
- wpp: wallpaper setter (different methods)
- wled: control wled led strips -> will soon be deprecated for wlc
- manmenu: search man pages with dmenu
- emoji.sh: search emojis and copy them to the clipboard with dmenu
- palette.sh: show a pretty color palette
- compiler.sh: autocompile files
- opout.sh: open a compiled file
- texclear.sh: clean LaTeX compile files
- make.sh: find a makefile in higher dirs and make
