Return to the Arch Index.
Warning: DON’T USE! Might be outdated. Go back to Arch Index above!
Info: These are manual steps to install my own prefered packages and setup. I generally say best to go back and use the scripts which does most work for us.
Personal#
ZSH Shell#
Preferred shell with plugins:
sudo pacman -S --needed zsh zsh-autosuggestions zsh-completions zsh-history-substring-search zsh-syntax-highlighting
chsh -s /bin/zsh && sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh
mkdir -P ~/.cache/zsh && touch ~/.cache/zsh/history
Software#
Pacman Packages:
sudo pacman -S --needed transmission-remote-gtk signal-desktop telegram-desktop element-desktop bitwarden libreoffice-fresh steam android-tools android-udev zathura zathura-cb zathura-djvu zathura-pdf-mupdf zathura-ps monero-gui playerctl handbrake solaar bluez bluez-utils bluez-hid2hci bluedevil duf gimp inkscape lsd mangohud merkuro pavucontrol sbctl exiv2 dog dust sxiv krita kdeconnect wl-clipboard hunspell-nl jdk-openjdk kolourpaint korganizer kontact kaddressbook

flatpak install flathub dev.vencord.Vesktop
flatpak install flathub com.slack.Slack

All that is left now is to enable bluetooth and GPU screen recorder:
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
sudo systemctl start bluetooth
systemctl enable --now --user gpu-screen-recorder
systemctl enable --now --user gpu-screen-recorder-ui
You might get a notification at top right, saying something about wayland and x11 support. You can safely ignore this.
Finished!#
Before rebooting, apply these essential settings for installed software and my preferred config files:
git clone https://github.com/purashy/dotfiles.git purafiles
cd purafiles
cp -r Wallpapers ~/Pictures
cd Configs
cp -r . ~/
Lets reboot#
As a good rule of thumb, lets reboot one last time.
Of course we are not done. We want to sign our keys using sbctl to be able to enable Secure Boot and dual boot with windows if we wish to do so.
