Although removing these dotfiles gave the repository a clean feeling, it
made it significantly harder to resume using a certain window manager or
other tool at any time.
Instead of removing dotfiles entirely, it's enough to simply not install
the programs you don't want to use, or even install them but not open
them.
Although zathura is a great piece of software that opens pdf files at
blazing fast speeds, I no longer have a use for it since GNOME's
document viewer works just as well, and even lets you use a mouse with
it!
Although recoloring documents is great for rice screenshots, most of the
time we want to see a pdf in its original form before deciding to
recolor it. Most of the time recolors occur when a "dark mode" is
necessary, which zathura does a good job with.
There are many dotfiles that we don't have to worry about when using a
desktop environment like Plasma or Xfce. These dotfiles are bspwm
specific and should all be stowed at the same time when stowing bspwm.
