6262d570a1 meta: Remove bspwm
After over 5 years of bspwm, I have decided to enjoy myself in the
luxurious life that is GNOME.

Using bspwm and window managers in general was an invaluable learning
experience that gave me a deep understanding of many of the novelties
of the current linux desktop computing model. It had a profound impact
on my understanding of how operating systems work in general, and I
now wish to move on and enjoy modern GNOME simplicity.

0396617ea6 meta: Remove sxhkd
What a ride. Although I absolutely loved configuring my keybinds through
sxhkd, more so than i3 / sway and similar window managers, I didn't
realize that most of what I was doing under bspwm could also be
accomplished under GNOME through gsettings.

088c7f6f37 meta: Remove dunst
Since I now use GNOME, I no longer need to worry about configuring a
separate program to show notifications. Although GNOME notifications
aren't nearly as customizable, they match the theme of the desktop
environment and get the job done.

910289038c meta: Remove qutebrowser
Although qutebrowser was very cute, there are too many disadvantages to
using it that can be solved by simply using a more mainstream browser. I
cover some of those issues in previous commit messages.

64e407d082 meta: Remove thunar
Although thunar was cute, the recent nautilus update is nice enough
that I prefer it over the wpgtk customization that thunar provides.

7deb910555 meta: Remove librewolf
I should be able to get by with the default firefox browser, which
should be easier to maintain and require less third parties to trust.

8b6e283089 vim: Add yomichan-like command with tango
Note that although this was great from a proof-of-concept point of view,
it's significantly easier and more effective to simply use the yomichan
add-on in a web browser like firefox.

ce76ede629 kitty: Don't show title bar under GNOME Wayland
This fixes an issue where the title bar would continue to show with the
pixel-saver GNOME extension.

This doesn't seem necessary in most cases.
2023-01-07 03:43:29 -05:00

As far as I remember, these were changes from the README or other
similar documentation.

edbeec006f vim: Use consistent lightline background color 2023-01-07 03:37:02 -05:00
36470f2b24 sxhkd: Update wal keybinds
As far as I remember, the -e was necessary to avoid the automatic tint2
reload causing the bar to be unclickable under bspwm.
2023-01-07 03:30:42 -05:00
3d631a90df sxhkd: Use rofi with ksuperkey
I eventually realized that GNOME accomplishes this and much more with
a lower probability of issues occurring.

93f611225e vim: Add nerdtree settings
Although there are other solutions available now, nerdtree still works
fairly well for our use case.
2023-01-07 01:28:43 -05:00
40f5dc971e rofi: Show as separate window
This makes it possible to close rofi with the same keybind that is used
to open it. Also got rid of an obsolete drun string.

a17bdb86f6 vim: Add vim-astro
Although I haven't used it to its fullest potential,
https://astro.build/ seems interesting.

b1f7d08eac vim: Don't restrict shell to sh
As far as I remember, this makes using the built-in terminal command
more convenient.

ebfee783b0 ranger: Add devicons
It feels like this doesn't improve readability that much if at all, but
it's nice to have the option.

271a01a266 kitty: Remove linux_display_server x11
fcitx5 works with kitty under wayland on gnome, so this isn't needed.

a1f21df5aa paru: Enable SudoLoop
This makes it easier to update the system without sudo timing out.
2023-01-05 02:27:24 -05:00
7af4af4f49 sxhkd: Add dropdown todos
Since I now use GNOME, I'll never go through these TODOs, however
anyone is free to implement these ideas on their own time.

699eb3fd6f dunst: Change frame settings
As far as I remember, these changes simply make the frame around dunst
notifications look nicer across more color schemes.

167b9f7445 meta: Add tint2
This was the configuration I used for tint2 when I was trying to
replicate a taskbar-like experience in bspwm. Although it worked to some
extent, the dash-to-panel extension for GNOME handles this much nicer,
and with the many other benefits GNOME provides.

dc9d624599 rofi: Add custom wal template
As far as I remember, this was used to prevent the rofi theme from being
unreadable with some pywal color schemes.
2023-01-05 02:09:15 -05:00
1767e2cf0a dunst: Increase font size
As far as I remember, this change was useful to make the text size
look nice next to the cover image from mpd notify.

70596ac7b2 meta: Add dual-function-keys
dual-function-keys is an amazing piece of software that solves many if
not all of the long-lasting issues I had with binding caps lock to ctrl
and escape. I have additionally configured it in a way such that print
screen can double as a right super key, due to it being next to right
alt and right ctrl on the T14.

c7aca39c84 meta: Add librewolf
This was my configuration for librewolf, a web browser I used for a few
months before ultimately deciding to use firefox again for simplicity.

Although librewolf is useful for giving individuals immediate access to
a solid browser with ublock origin pre-installed, the downsides such as
not having automatic updates for users that need it the most, as well as
constantly depending on another project to update in a timely manner,
do not seem worth it in the long-term.

4328490bfd meta: Add qutebrowser
This was my configuration for qutebrowser, a web browser that I
revisited in 2022 and decided to use for a few months. Although I
certainly found the experience quite cute, I came across issues such
as the content window blanking when switching workspaces, strict https
mode not being supported, containerization requiring separate tabs, and
frequent crashes when dealing with large amounts of tabs.

Besides the issues above, I also had to deal with certain websites
not loading in qutebrowser without any way to troubleshoot it from
developer tools. In addition to the lack of extension support (thereby
requiring more involved measures to replicate similar behavior found in
other browsers) and the inferior content blocking solution, I ultimately
decided to switch back to my old trusty friend firefox.

2bfb8bb961 bspwm: Add dynamic desktops implementation
This was my implementation of dynamic desktops, largely inspired by the
various hints I found on r/bspwm. Although this was a very engaging
intellectual exercise, I eventually realized that GNOME handles dynamic
desktops much better, and comes with a slew of other conveniences as
well.

60f5353318 wal: Remove bspwm/dunst/tint2 scripts
By prioritizing GNOME, we're able to focus on being productive instead
of customizing our linux setup.
2022-12-26 22:27:44 -05:00
7761db6936 Revert "starship: Add date and time"
This is no longer needed since we use GNOME as the desktop environment,
which makes it easy to see the date and time as needed.

f279e165e1 kitty: Remove old open_url_modifiers option
This is no longer an option in recent versions of kitty.
2022-12-15 16:14:46 -05:00
57f11b6223 kitty: Remove background options
Realistically won't be using custom backgrounds with kitty due to the
complexity involved in changing them among other things. Setting the
background opacity and letting the desktop environment manage the
background instead is more convenient.
