# nune's niri dotfiles

![wallpaper, featuring animated blitzwing](https://codeberg.org/gigirassy/niri-dotfiles/raw/branch/main/images/.nunewall/image.png)

> theres very little stuff here when it comes to aesthetic. this is because i keep most apps to their defaults aside from ones i give dotfiles for. i also avoid noctalia, dank material shell, etc, because i believe those werent how niri was meant to be and are bloated.
> the best productivity setup is simple, light, and nondistracting for me and my use case. no need to overcomplicate window managers.

## aesthetic
* my theme is a basic blue theme with a minimal, non-distracting waybar config and mako. if an even lighter alternative to waybar comes, im switching to it.
## non-rice
* i use the [*linux-tkg kernel*](https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg) compiled with ~~thin lto,~~ scx-sched support, llvm toolchain, and optimized for my microarchitecture (skylake). i recompile it in case of a new security vulnerability OR when i feel like it.
* * **as of this writing, i am temporarily not compiling my kernels with lto because of the new chassis i got, which only has 8gb ram.**
* * the *scx scheduler* used most of the time is *scx-rusty*.
* non-aesthetic files (ie compose for production experimentation containers, fan control scripts) are in ``non-rice``.
* fstrim and a basic fan setter is set up in services as well.
* theres also a *dnscrypt-proxy* config i use to force all my connections in dns over https.
## etc
* you're on your own here when it comes to config edits. for example, setting your ``$wifi_name`` in ``.config/fish/secrets.fish``.
* should be compatible with most distros after minor changes.
