## How I Restore My Setup

- Install Debian Buster minimal, without any DE

- Enable `contrib` and `non-free` repository (*/etc/apt/sources.list*)

- Connect to the internet

- Install git

- Clone this repo `git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles`

- Deploy the dotfiles `cp -a ~/.dotfiles/. ~`

- Restore the packages `sh ~/.scripts/openboxpack` or `sh ~/.scripts/fluxboxpack`

- Add user to sudoers using `visudo`

- Change the systemclock to localtime `timedatectl set-local-rtc 1` then set the time in BIOS

(because I set my BIOS clock to localtime insted of UTC)

- Change the default CLI Shell `chsh $(whoami) -s /usr/bin/fish`

- Edit some system configuration, example in ~/.dotfiles/.system

- Reboot

- Fix some errors

- Start working
