Looking back at this, meta packages should be one of the most convenient ways to keep track of packages. It gets the job done and should be more than sufficient for our use case. In particular, installing all packages guarantees that we won't "miss something" and have to install it manually, which is more useful than having a lower package number count. The main disadvantage is dealing with constant updates to large packages in a restrictive internet environment, although it's possible to mitigate this by separating the smaller packages from the larger ones.
.files
These are my dotfiles. As of 2022, my operating system of choice is still Arch Linux, although installing Gentoo may prove to be a fun side project.
History
I have been using GNU/Linux since 2012 and Arch Linux since 2017. My setup was originally i3 before I switched to bspwm. As of 2021, I added Sway, although I like switching between GNOME and Plasma as well.
The biggest advantage my dotfiles have is a consistent setup between GTK and Qt applications across multiple window managers. Making GUIs look nice on bspwm was a major task for me, and I'm satisfied with the result. Qt applications also work well under GNOME, with a consistent theme if you're using Arc for everything.
Old screenshots
Over time my tastes in desktop environments have changed. For nostalgic purposes, here is a collection of screenshots of my usage of GNU/Linux over time.
