This is my personal collection of dotfiles that follow the guidelines mentioned in manifesto below.
The pictures below were randomly taken during my work. I didn't setup these programs this way just for taking screenshots. They aim to show the real picture of how my workflow is like.
-
Music Player
Because I don't listen to music.
-
Video Player
I don't watch videos. If I do, I stick with default mpv, ffplay.
-
Wallpaper Utility
-
Web Browser
I mostly use Librewolf with JavaScript disabled, Elinks with default configuration.
-
Grub Config
Because It is specific to machine. Instead I have provided grub template which I use with
grub2-mkconfig. It sets max cpu to 4, disables framebuffer and splash screen. -
Image Editor
I mostly use Imagemagick from command line for cropping, chopping, resizing. I just guess the required chop size and it often works. For trivial tasks, I use Gimp.
See my
crop-sc-status-nav-bar.shscript for a practical example.Though, this usually has to be done only with mobile screenshots, as on desktop, I use combination of I3 shortcuts, Dmenu, Maim to take cropped screenshots, and save them with ISO 8601 formatted date followed by input variable collected through Dmenu. The shortcut is
$Mod1 + Shift + s. -
Navigation Software
I use Organic Maps, and a simple compass, on both Android and Desktop. I scrap important place's coordinates from Google maps and then locally bookmark them, export them to KML.
My mobile doesn't have a precise GPS due to it being debloated. Though, I do not need to use map much. In case map isn't available, I also have knowledge of primitive methods of navigation including constellations, stick and shadow method.
-
Efficiency, time savings over aesthetic.
-
Don't fix it until it's broken. Don't customize unless required.
-
Document everything. Explain what did you do and why.
-
Keyboard over mouse.
