## OS installation
Arch Linux build:
- display server: Xorg (X11)
- no desktop environment
- display manager: LightDM + its GTK greeter
- window manager: XMonad
- compositor: yshui/picom
[INSTALL](ARCH_INSTALL.md)
## X
Install `xorg-server`
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
## Display manager
Install LightDM and its GTK greeter
```
lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
```
Enable `lightdm.service`
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Installation
## Window Manager
### fonts
Main fonts
```
ttf-inconsolata ttf-roboto noto-fonts ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation
```
Emoji font
```
noto-fonts-emoji
```
Refresh font cache
```shell
fc-cache
fc-list
```
#### custom fonts
[docs](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts#Manual_installation)
First create the directory `/usr/local/share/fonts/ttf/` and
place any custom fonts under it
### XMonad
First install `stack`. Take the static version from AUR to avoid
the plethora of Haskell dependencies.
```shell
rua install stack-static
```
Clone the sources in `/opt/xmonad`
```shell
git clone https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad
git clone https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib
```
Add the configuration file from `xmonad/xmonad.hs` and init the
project to generate the `stack.yaml` file
```shell
stack init
```
Build & install
```shell
stack install
```
Xmonad expects `xmonad.hs` and `stack.yaml` to be in
`~/.config/xmonad/` \
Use symlinks instead (does not make sense to have source files
under the config directory)
```shell
cd ~/.config/xmonad
ln -s /opt/xmonad/xmonad.hs xmonad.hs
ln -s /opt/xmonad/stack.yaml stack.yaml
```
source: https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html
#### XMobar
Clone the sources and build the project
```shell
git clone https://codeberg.org/xmobar/xmobar.git
```
Override `stack.yaml` to only build needed features
```shell
cp xmobar/stack.yaml .
```
Add `xmobarrc` to `~/config/xmobar/`.
Finally build and install it
```shell
stack install
```
##### required packages
```
dmenu clipmenu trayer shotgun graphicsmagick xwallpaper udisks2
udiskie xclip slop gpick trashy ouch
```
### XDG user directories
```shell
sudo pacman -S xdg-user-dirs
xdg-user-dirs-update
```
source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_user_directories
## Screen lock
Install `i3lock-color` from AUR
#### On suspend
Copy `systemd_unit/[email protected]` to `/etc/systemd/system/`
and enable it
```
sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
```
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate#Sleep_hooks
## Design
### GTK theme
Theme used https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme
Install `materia-gtk-theme`
edit `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`
```
[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-name = Paper
gtk-theme-name = Materia-dark

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Materia-dark
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme Paper
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 64
```
#### Flatpak
```shell
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Materia-dark
```
### Cursor theme
install https://github.com/snwh/paper-icon-theme
edit `/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme`
```
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Paper
```
note: the icon theme is also set when `.Xresources` file is read
when lightdm (display manager) starts and sources `.xprofile`
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Icons#Manually
### set the wallpaper
Install `xwallpaper` package\
`xwallpaper` is spawned by XMonad\
The wallpaper image is defined by `$BG_PRIMARY` env variable\
eg. in `.xprofile`
```bash
export BG_PRIMARY=$HOME/Pictures/dark_ocean.png
```
### HiDPI
DPI is set in `.Xresources`
```
Xft.dpi: 144
```
it will be loaded during display manager (ligthdm) starts and sources `.xprofile`
```sh
[[ -f "$home/.Xresources" ]] && xrdb -merge $home/.Xresources
```
sources:
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#X_Resources
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Environment_variables
larger font for linux console
```shell
$ sudo pacman -S terminus-font
```
add in `/etc/vconsole.conf`

## notes
The following notes are relevant to the installation of ArchLinux.
### solve icon problem for apps installed through Flatpak
```shell
cd /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications
```
rename the links to match this format: obs.desktop, vlc.desktop
### journal
To prevent the journal to take 4Gb space of disk memory copy the
configuration file `00-journal-size.conf` (from the `conf` dir in
this repo) into `/etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/` directory (create it)
(the default is 4Gb)
source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Journal#Journal_size_limit
### SSH agent
Install `gnome-keyring` and `libsecret`
Enable the following systemd **user** unit (⚠ no `sudo`)
```shell
systemctl --user enable gcr-ssh-agent.socket
```
Set the env var `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` to `/run/user/1000/gcr/ssh`
(`.xprofile`/ fish config)
→ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring
### Firefox
To set the scrollbar width set the following property in
`about:config`
```
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 16
```
NOTE: the `widget.non-native-theme.enable` should be set to true
