THIS PROJECT IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT

My Arch linux based desktop setup

---

Purpose:

• To provide myself materials (script, guide, and other files) for cases when I need to transfer to other machine, or reinstall the OS.
• To answer questions others might have about my setup (e.g. what browser you use?)

If you have questions that are not answered in this repo, feel free to contact me via method listed in my github profile page.

FAQ

Q: Why don't you use more mainstream distros like Ubuntu?

A:

• arch is mainstream enough and has huge community behind it
• their package repository is huge and is easy to use
• has extensive wiki
• their philosophy matches that of mine (e.g. user centrality and the DIY attitude)
• strikes a perfect balance between customizability and ease of use

Q: Why don't you use easier arch-based distros like manjaro?

A: Though Manjaro is great and adds some feature arch linux does not provide out of the box (such as mhwd), it's too bloated for my liking.
