Since I figured out how to run both KDE and GTK applications with their proper settings under any lightweight window manager, and since I now know how to configure these programs independent of their desktop environments, this commit removes plasma-desktop, with the possibility of gnome-shell bring removed in a future commit as well. The rationale is that using a desktop environment is counter-intuitive when you already use a window manager. Having multiple desktop environments to start a session with is certainly amusing, but not at all practical, especially when you can accomplish anything that needs to be done with any window manager. Switching between GNOME, Plasma, and bspwm also caused some inconsistent X settings that I assume are non-trivial to fix without a proper restart of the X server. Simply starting the Plasma desktop environment will create quite a few files in ~/.config. These files consist of window coordinates and other non-friendly things, which, IMO, should not belong in the *user's* config directory. Regarding other software, GNOME MPV is arguably easier to use and less buggy than baka-mplayer. Manipulating archives is also much easier with file-roller than it is with ark. Since I got Audacity to look decent on a HiDPI display, I no longer have a use for Kwave, which did not have some of the essential features I used in Audacity anyway. l3afpad functions much more like a notepad than kwrite, which is what I'm looking for since I already use Vim. Using Cantata as a mpd client is simply not the same as using ncmpcpp. zathura and evince are more than enough for document viewing, hence the removal of Okular. |

Tari - My Arch Linux setup
Arch Linux, a GNU/Linux distribution, lets you build your own environment. Since you only install what you want, it is easy to customize and control.
Features
- A universal color scheme consistent across all terminal software
- A universal theme across both Qt and GTK applications
- The ability to switch between GNOME, Plasma, and bspwm efficiently
- Full HiDPI support for Qt, GTK, and X-level software applications
- Easily switch between both traditional and HiDPI resolution in the same X environment
Usage
On a fresh Arch install, run ./bootstrap.sh.
