This is my modified version of lukesmithxyz's auto-rice bootstrapping scripts. I made some changes which can be found mainly in the progs.csv. This also installs all needed dotfiles from my .dotfiles repository. In contrast to Lukes Script this one installs dwm and not i3 because it sucks less.
The following are some of the main programs that are installed by using this install script.
- Operating System:
Arch Linux - Window Manager:
dwm - Audio Server:
pipewire - Shell:
zsh - Terminal Emulator:
st - File Manager:
vifm - Application Launcher:
dmenu(_run) - Status Bar:
dwmblocks - Notification Service:
dunst - Text Editor:
neovim - Reader:
zathura - Browser:
firefox - Lockscreen:
slock
All programs including these can be found in the progs.csv.
There are a bunch of hotkeys. Please visit my dwm and st builds and my dotfiles to see them.
To get this script working you need a bootable base installation of Arch Linux. You can do a minimal install by following a secure guide by me. You don't need an existing user other than root to use larbs. A seperate user will be created during the installation progress.
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tiynger/larbs/master/larbs.sh
sh larbs.shIt is possible that the following commands need to be run before the script is able to retrieve packages.
pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman-key --refresh-keysThis script will be checked for correctness on important changes.
Testing system is a Virtual Machine inside Proxmox or a Lenovo Thinkpad X220
occasionally other systems are used (they all use my described guide for a
basic installation).
Results range from + over o to -, the latter being the worst.
