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)

Look up the select command (online, man page is not as helpful). It makes a nice simple selectio menu for your users in bash
Install expac
doas pacman -S expac
Install pkgtop

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pkgtop
Finally figured out how to get language servers working neovim, you have to npm install -g each of them from ~/.local/nvim/share/lsp-servers (note that there is still work to be done here...)

Install rustdesk-bin from aur (rustdesk by itself was not prepared correctly...)
paru rustdesk-bin
Install xfce4-screenshooter (it's just too useful by comparison to scrot...)
doas pacman -S xfce4-screenshooter

doas pacman -S redshift
cp ~/Documents/notes/xinitrc.txt ~/.xinitrc
Install sockstat:

cd espanso
cargo install --force cargo-make --version 0.34.0

doas mv target/release/espanso /usr/local/bin/espanso
Copy xinitrc.txt which calls espanso at beginning
cp ~/Documents/notes/xinitrc.txt ~/.xinitrc
After restarting X session, you should be able to see some of espanso's effects on typing, just type something like ":date" and you'll see the effect.
This is just a demo, you can create your own custom replacement word "triggers" in the generated config file ~/.config/espanso/config/default.yml
You can also simply type:
espanso edit
To bring up the config file and edit it with commands, see:
