Note that I need to update the script later or simply provide a series
of instructions so everything isn't dependant on one script.
In the past it was nice to install Arch Linux with minimal if any
console intervention, but the practicality of this is questionable
since you only have to install Arch once. A more specialized script
could be useful for mass installations, although in this case I assume
one would create such a script on-the-spot.
Since animated desktop backgrounds are more of a hassle to maintain than
they are worth, I've gone ahead and removed xwinwrap. If you are running
bspwm and still want an animated desktop background, use:
xwinwrap -g 3840x2160 -ov -- mpv -wid WID --loop inf your.video
For reference, you can use xwinwrap with any resolution you want, not
just your screen size. mpv will also accept pretty much any animated
format out there.
Note that we enable lxdm before revoking privileges. The user can
start lxdm manually after this script is finished, but ideally the
system should first be rebooted to ensure that any kernel updates
are applied properly.
It turns out that manual intervention is necessary to resolve dependency
conflicts (bspwm-round-corners-git replaces bspwm), so it is easier to
simply install bspwm-round-corners-git later if wanted.
It turns out that yay automatically handles the process of installing
package dependencies not in the official repositories. This is very
important for some PKGBUILDs, so I've gone ahead and let yay handle
all the AUR packages I build.
