## Description

Ibis is an Arch Linux based distro with BSPWM Window manager and few minimal

packages for basic functionalities such as ssh, auto mounting, image viewer,

text editor, audio/video player, etc. No other additional overhead is added into Ibis.



The system has been designed with the following principles in mind:



- Identify the basic functionalities required;

- Pick up the packages which deliver a minimal but complete solution for them;

- Configure the packages to make them working out of the box;

- Get an environment entirely reproducible via [Pearl](https://github.com/pearl-core/pearl) system.

  - Allows to have an interactive installation process



If you think the package list does not suit your need, feel free to either

suggest changes or fork the project and create your own distro style.



The name Ibis come from the notorious

[Australian white ibis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis)

bird which populates Sydney city.

## Installation



### Dependencies



Ibis requires to have an Arch Linux system with the `base` package group

installed. The Arch Linux installation guide is

[here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide).



It is also required [Pearl](https://github.com/pearl-core/pearl) in order to

control and reproduce the Ibis environment.



The final dependency is `sudo` as Ibis will require to install the needed packages:



```sh

# pacman -Sy sudo

```



### Ibis installation



Update the `~/.config/pearl/pearl.conf` to include the following:



```

PEARL_PACKAGES = {

    'ibis': {

        "url": 'https://github.com/fsquillace/ibis.git',

    },

}

```



Then, to install Ibis:

```

pearl install ibis

```



Ibis will start installing all the packages and will configure them for you.

You can replay the environment at any time or remove Ibis if you want:



```sh

pearl update ibis

pearl remove ibis

```
