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.
Now that I use GNOME, I no longer have a need for neofetch since GNOME
has its own about page in the settings. This also means I no longer have
to deal with neofetch being unmaintained and fetching the wrong
background images under GNOME.
Since ueberzug only works in X, and since ranger previews currently
conflict with tmux due to a new python version on arch linux, ueberzug
has no real advantage besides making image previews work in alacritty,
which I ultimately decided against due to how it handles fcitx input on
Xorg.
As of now I am largely uninterested in customizing neofetch to look
completely different, although time will tell if I stay true to this
stance. As of now, however, showing an image is enough.
Instead of relying on a fish function to configure neofetch,
we can use config.conf instead.
Since neofetch is an independent program, we also make a new stow
package for it, instead of relying on the fish config being present.
Now that I've read the man pages for `stow` and actually know how to use
it properly, I can organize my repositiory by using a separate dots
directory specifically for my dotfiles.
Additionally, similar dotfiles are now grouped together. This means less
stow work for me with files that would otherwise only be used in one
environment (e.g. bspwm).
As much as one would like to show off browsing the internet with w3m,
such a setup is highly impractical for daily use. Remembering the
keybindings I set up was also becoming an issue, so I simply removed
them in favor of the defaults, assuming I ever need to use w3m at a
later date (probably not).
