Dotfiles

This is my Linux configuration. It contains utilities to bootstrap and deploy my environment.

Bootstrap

The following line checks out the repository into ~/.dotfiles and installs the essential tools:

bash <(curl -s https://codeberg.org/langurmonkey/dotfiles/raw/master/bootstrap.sh)

Create environment

Deploy the environment anytime using the deploy script:

~/.dotfiles/deploy

Environment

This is possibly outdated, but still.

• Hyprland
• kitty
• Noctalia
• yazi
• mitos

Going from i3 to hyprland (dpi)

Change the following:

• Topcat: Start script. Use one of those:
  • i3: javaArgs="-Xms2g -Xmx8g -Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.5"
  • wayland: javaArgs="-Xms1g -Xmx2g -Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0"
• Qutebrowser: GPU acceleration causes problems with Wayland and Nvidia. Make sure that qt.args in :set contains ["disable-gpu"].
• ~/.profile: This may not be necessary, but there are a bunch of variables that need to change. Probably not read in wayland.
  • i3:

    export GDK_SCALE=2
    export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5
    export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SET_FACTOR=0
    export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2
    export QT_FONT_DPI=96
    

  • Hyprland:

    export GDK_SCALE=1
    export GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.0
    export GTK_SCALE=wayland
    export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SET_FACTOR=0
    export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1
    export QT_FONT_DPI=96
    

• Thunderbird: On i3, you need to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPixel to 2 in the config editor.
• FreeTube: On wayland, you need to edit the Exec line in the desktop file (/usr/share/applications/freetube.desktop) so that it reads Exec=/opt/FreeTube/freetube --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland %U.
