## Installation

Clone the sources in Debian 12.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/marcbperez/debian-daily-driver
cd debian-daily-driver
```

Or download the release tarball.

```bash
curl -L https://github.com/marcbperez/debian-daily-driver/archive/refs/tags/0.2.0.tar.gz \
| tar zxvp -C .
cd debian-daily-driver-0.2.0
```

In a freshly installed system run `bash firstboot.sh`. It will give `sudo`
rights to the current user, and update and reboot the system. `install.sh` will
configure everything else.

```bash
bash install.sh
```

Other useful shortcuts are:

- `Super + L` locks the session.
- `Super + T` opens a terminal.
- `Super + F` opens the file explorer.
- `Super + W` opens the web browser.

Most of the settings, including these shortcuts, can be configured through the
