Dotfiles of my setups
Before using my dotfiles maybe you want to use bootstrap.sh
file to pre-install some stuff
Go to your terminal and type
$ ./bootstrap.sh
After bootstraping copy all dotfiles to your $HOME
folder
Additionally, if you have dotfiles repository, and you want make your life easier, type:
$ ./bootstrap.sh dotfiles_update_monitor
This command will install script and service in your distribution which detects updates of dotfiles in your $HOME
directory,
and then copies them to $HOME/Development/dotfiles
directory which is folder with dotfiles repository.
You no more need to manually copy dotfiles to repository on update. (repository separately from $HOME
directory is safer method to store dotfiles)

All my scripts (which sometimes helps me on my daily work) with their proper description and usage of them, are located in .local/bin directory.

- You have three monitors, are you okay with multiple screens with the GTX 1050 Ti and NVidia's proprietary drivers?
Umm, sometimes there is a bug related to the desktop on the middle monitor (Samsung S24D300) having a black square on the middle.
My temporary workaround is to disconnect the HDMI cable from the graphics card for a moment, wait a moment until the desktop with bars moves to the left monitor, then connect the HDMI cable back to the graphics card.
After that, the desktop returns to normal.
- Is KDE 6 still buggy?
Not anymore, before the update I could see problems about Plasma Shell crashing, and Plasma could run not very stably (menu bars hanging, and Plasma having problems even trying to restart it).
After a bigger update which was caused by not using the computer for a week (as it turned out, also update of KDE to version 6.2) made these problems disappear.
For Linux haters/opponents: Give it a chance, KDE 6 is (as of October 2024) fresh and only a few months old.
- Are you planning to distrohopping/change desktop environment?
Not for now, I feel good with Arch right now.
For now I'm giving KDE 6 a chance as it's a fresh version of KDE, when I use Linux a bit more I'm thinking about changing the environment to Hyprland.
