I just want something like this but with Arch.
- caslon 5y agoWhy not take the ten minutes to set it up yourself? It's pretty trivial to get everything Naac described working.
- beepbooptheory 5y agoYes I mean that is my current set up, I am not that fast though! But it would just be nice to have the full DE backing behind i3 as a distribution. Yes I know you can do everything here with list of tools, but I just want a configuration that I know has been thought out, with best practices, and easy to modify in a reproducible way. The list of dotfiles and little adjustments alone you need to marry i3 with a power manager, menu bar, network manager, is a lot! I just want the work done for me (a DE).
- csdvrx 5y agoBut why i3 if you can do that with the existing window manager and shortcuts? It seems to me you are introducing complexity for complexity sake, with nothing to be gained - except maybe nerd credential points for using i3?
- beepbooptheory 5y agoYes, you are right... I guess just need the tiling shortcuts and the AUR. and I guess I want gnome-control-center, and that can be that.
- csdvrx 5y agoI may not be fancy, but it will get you where you want to be faster, easier, and in a more maintainable way.
- Naac 5y agoThe Regolith package is available in Arch Linux.
- beepbooptheory 5y agooh cool! I'm sold.
- bisby 5y agohttps://github.com/regolith-linux/regolith-i3-config https://github.com/regolith-linux/regolith-i3-config All distros are basically the same but with different default packages and package managers. Fortunately, regolith is open source and has repos for their default configs. Get the right packages installed on Arch and copy the regolith configs for those packages. and you have yourself an arch regolith clone.
