# .dotfiles
**If you're looking for configs related to Arch Linux or MacOS, see the other branches**
## Install and Usage ##
Only 2 packages are needed to get started, Git to clone these configs, and [GNU stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/) to symlink files to the appropriate place on the local machine
1. Install git & stow, if not already installed
```bash
$ dnf install git stow
```
2. Fork this repo and Clone the configs into $HOME/.dotfiles
```bash
$ git clone git@github.com:{{GitHub Username Here}}/.dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles && cd $HOME/.dotfiles
```
3. The Configs in this repo are broken up by catagory. Pick and choose which configs you want by directory (see `stow -h`)
```bash
$ stow configs shell scripts # e.g. will symlink all config files in ./configs, ./shell, & ./scripts
```
or use the ./stowAll.sh shell script in the repo root (see `./stowAll.sh -h`)
```
$ chmod +x ./stowAll.sh && ./stowAll.sh
```
Note: stow will not replace a file that is already present, but it will complain to stdout. Remeber to back up those files incase you'd don't like these configs, then you can use stow/stowAll.sh again.
```
$ mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak && ./stowAll.sh
```
4. A script to help install packages, is found in `$HOME/.local/bin/install_pkgs` with accompanying text files, with lists of packages, in the `$HOME/.local/share/` directory
```
$ chmod +x ~/.local/bin/install_pkgs && install_pkgs -f ~$HOME/.local/share/fedora_pkgs.txt
```

## Notes
### Fedora specific
1. qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld to play DRM (netflix etc.) on qutebrowser
* This is a finicky process, I usually just install chromium-freeworld. It may not work immeadiately. Not sure why.
### PyPi Packages
1. [autotiling](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/autotiling)
## Other Tips
1. add the following to /etc/environment to use java applications like PyCharm
```bash
if [ "$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP" = "sway" ] ; then
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
fi
```
2. If using an AMD graphics card, enable the `mesa-va-drivers-freeworld` from rpmfusion.
- As of 11/2022, the package is still in update-testing.
