#+title: Welcome to my dotfiles

[[screenshot.png]]

This is a backup of my configuration files! Maybe (most probably not, but maybe) you'll find something neat here.

Right now, and after a few years of using Tiling Window Managers [[https://juancastro.xyz/en/migrating-to-plasma.html][I'm using KDE Plasma 5]]! Yeah, weird, I know. I keep my configuration for a lot of programs here though. I'm using Arch Linux btw.

This README is just the list of programs I'm using right now. Here's some links to the configs, I think, are the most interesting (not all of them are org files yet).

• [[file:.emacs.d/config.org][Emacs configuration]]
• [[file:.config/herbstluftwm/README.org][Herbstluftwm configuration]]
• [[file:.config/polybar/config][Polybar configuration]]
• [[file:.config/sway/config][Sway configuration]]
• [[https://github.com/juacq97/dwm][Dwm configuration]]

• Plasma Desktop Environment

Though it's possible to just install the =plasma= group and the =kde-applications= metapackage, that will get a lot of undesired applications, so I narrowed the list of applications I want to install.

#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/plasma.pkgs plasma-meta dolphin konsole ark dolphin-plugins kcalc kcolorchooser kio-extras spectacle sddm-kcm plasma-pass #+end_src

• Plasma-meta: All the core packages for plasma. This includes some bloat, like the thunderbolt configuration, a firewall configuration and the discovery application, but I can live with it.
• Dolphin: The default file manager for KDE. Most of the time I use dired, but sometimes a good graphical manager is useful
• Konsole: The KDE terminal. I use Alacritty most of the time, but some KDE applications expect konsole
• Ark: An archive program. Again, if I need to compress something from dolphin
• Dolphin-plugins: Plugins for dolphin
• Kcalc: A simple graphical calculator, I use this sometimes
• Kcolorchooser: When I need to pick a color from the screen I normally use =gcolor2=, but let's use the Qt alternative better.
• Kio-extras: Extra support for KIO
• Spectacle: The KDE screenshot application
• sddm-kcm: Adds sddm to the settings
• Plasma-pass: An applet for the pass password manager.

** Extensions I use a lot krunner extensions, Plasma themes and icon packs that are only available from the AUR:

#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/plasma.pkgs plasma5-applets-window-buttons krunner-pass-git plasma5-runners-symbols lightly-qt flattery-icon-theme-git fluent-icon-theme-git #+end_src

Some extensions and plasmoid are downloaded using the Plasma "get more" button.

• Other applications I use a lot of other programs, most of them not part of KDE

** Multimedia programs #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/misc.pkgs mpv sxiv pqiv gimp krita ffmpeg playerctl youtube-dl #+end_src

** Office, documents and archives #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/misc.pkgs libreoffice-still libreoffice-still-es zathura zathura-pdf-mupdf poppler unzip p7zip unzip zip unrar nextcloud-client #+end_src

** Nerd stuff #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/misc.pkgs htop brightnessctl pamixer pass pass-otp passff-host libnotify wmctrl xclip rofi alacritty kdeconnect zsh zsh-theme-powerlevel10k zsh-autosuggestions zsh-completions zsh-syntax-highlighting #+end_src ** Fonts #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/misc.pkgs ttf-liberation ttf-joypixels ttf-opensans ttf-fira-code ttf-fira-sans ttf-fira-mono ttf-font-awesome #+end_src

• Standalone Window Managers If I return to stand alone window managers, then I'll need this applications:

#+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.repos/dotfiles/wm.pkgs dunst sxhkd nitrogen clipmenu redshift lxappearance picom pavucontrol #+end_src

• Why do you tangle those *.pkgs files?

I'm glad you ask, those are simple text files with a list of programs I want in three categories:

• plasma.pkgs: plasma packages

• misc.pkgs: Miscelaneous packages that I'll install not matter what desktop environment I'm using

• wm.pkgs: Packages I need only if I use an standalone window manager.

  To install one of those lists just need to run the command ~sudo pacman -S $(cat )~ where is the file I want (the plasma.pkgs list needs to be installed with yay instead).
