Use this file as a post-it for packages to install on laptop/desktop.
add notation about awk as
Select everything but the second field:
awk '!($2="")'
add notation about tr (translate command):
replace every newline with a single space: tr '\n' ' '
add notation about using find to list only files in current directory and NOT subdirectory:
find $dir -maxdepth 1 -type f
add notation about using pick to parse through output, and pipe that using xargs to another command:
example:
ls | pick | xargs bat # will give you a choice of the files from ls, pick displays a menu to "pick" the file, which then is parsed to xargs bat (invokes bat on choice from ls | pick)
Install picom (better than xcompmgr, no screen tearing)
doas pacman -S picom
Copy i3 and picom configs
cp -r ~/Documents/notes/picom ~/.config/
cp ~/Documents/notes/i3/config ~/.config/i3/
restart i3 to be sure
If it works, uninstall xcompmgr
doas pacman -R xcompmgr
Also, I noticed the time was off. make sure to enable nptd service
doas ln -s /etc/runit/sv/ntpd /run/runit/service/
doas rsv enable ntpd
