Adrian's dotfiles

This is the repository for my dotfiles for Sway, forked from Flipe Facundes.

Dependencies

The dotfiles configuration references a lot of packages that may not be installed on your system:

swayfx swayidle swaybg waybar rofi wlrctl cliphist lights ly kwalletd6 rofi-power-menu grim wl-clipboard xorg-xprop libpulse dunst rofi-pulse-select soteria keepmenu

SwayWM

Changing language

This is not a tutorial on changing your system language, this will only change the language of the configuration strings.

In .config/sway/config replace XX from the line import strings_XX to a language code matching a language file in that same directory.

Autostart applications

Edit .config/sway/startup and add exec yourapplication.

ly display manager

You can also replace your display manager with ly, a TUI display manager. The config file in .config/ly/ will not work, you have to copy it to /etc/ly/config.ini after installing the package ly and enabling the systemd service (also, disable your current DM).
