![]() ![]() I recommend using Arch for BSPWM because I find it much easier to install the dependencies using the Pacman and Yaourt repositories than the Debian and Redhat counterparts. The end result is this (I've embedded it to save space): The images I am using are here (save these to your pictures folder when you complete step 2): įor the purposes of this tutorial, the only things you need are your hands, and a png file of your favorite desktop wallpaper. Also, I revamped this guide so things are easier and you don't have to type so much like before. Still I won't stop you from using Awesome Font. Something in its recent update drops unmatched characters that are actually matched by the system.so.yeah I don't have the time to look into it, but hopefully it will get resolved later. ![]() Also due to an unfortunate commit that was applied to polybar on back in December 2017, I replaced my old config file that used Awesome Font with one that uses only Unifont. I figured that since the same thing that happened to arch anywhere could happen to it, that it wouldn't be worth it to use their repositories. ![]() On the last version of this guide I told people to use Anarchy Linux to install Arch Linux, now I recommend using the revenge installer, the Anarchy Linux site has gone down most likely due to funding cuts, I also recommend that when you do install it, you DO NOT take the revenge OS repo: BSPWM solves this by separating the files for the UI confguration into two small files, both of which are easy to work with, and that's all you need. Why BSPWM? Because i3 thats why the config file it uses is way too long, complicated, and meshes the keybinds on it, also i3 uses too many dependencies such as i3-gaps in order to get to a working UI that isn't an eyesore. I am also going to assume you're familiar with how to launch dmenu from a keybind, the basic Linux File structure, how to effectively navigate it with a terminal, and that you are using wifi. For this, I am going to assume you know how to use editors to edit files and have had a glimpse or idea of how tiling window managers work.
