New Start is built on top of [Arch GNU/Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/) and consists of my [dotfiles](dotfiles/), [install scripts](install/), [help files](help/), and [custom software](src/).
## Features
- Universal themes
- All Base16 themes supported.
- It is trivial to make your own themes.
- One command to change the color schemes in all the software you use.
- Mouse-free
- Never reach for your mouse again.
- Vim-inspired keybindings.
- Reproducability
- Install the system from scratch and have the exact same configuration as before.
- It is trivial to make your own live usb of the system.
## Before You Begin
1. [Linux is not an operating system](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html). All the so-called "Linux" distributions are actually distributions of [GNU/Linux](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-users-never-heard-of-gnu.html).
2. [Arch GNU/Linux is rolling-release](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux). There is no such thing as having to install a new version of Arch.
3. [Free software gives you complete control over your computing](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html). If something doesn't work, it's more often than not user error.
4. [Keep it simple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle). At the end of the day, you only need to use your computer for a few specific tasks, such as listening to music, writing software, sending messages, and using the internet. Don't overcomplicate things.
This system was built with **reproducability** in mind. The entire system resolves around being able to install it from scratch and have the exact same configuration as before.
4. [Keep it simple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalism_(computing)). At the end of the day, you only need to use your computer for a few specific tasks, such as listening to music, writing software, sending messages, and using the internet. [Don't overcomplicate things](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle).
This system is different from your traditional point-click system. There is no such thing as "clicking the close button" here, or clicking anything for that matter.
