dotfiles

Finally, my personal dotfiles repository! Targeting Niri, Waybar, Alacritty and systemd by default.

Yes, I use micro over nano, *vi*, emacs, etc.

Tip

Put wallpaper in ~/Pictures/Background.png (To change this, edit ~/.config/systemd/user/swaybg.service). This repo also tries to download to the location, so syncing may reset your background back to the default image. Same Wallpaper is also used for swaylock so also edit ~/.config/swaylock/config

Tip

Alternatively, just change the image and rename as-is

Tip

If you edit ~/.config/systemd/user/swaybg.service, remember to reload the rules with: systemctl --user daemon-reload
