Dotfiles

This is my Linux configuration. It contains utilities to bootstrap and deploy my environment and dotfiles for i3wm, polybar, vim, ranger, and some other programs.

Bootstrap

The following line checks out the repository into ~/.dotfiles and installs the essential tools:

bash <(curl -s https://codeberg.org/langurmonkey/dotfiles/raw/master/bootstrap.sh)

Create environment

Deploy the environment anytime using the deploy script:

~/.dotfiles/deploy

• HOWTO HiDPI

Going from i3 to hyprland (dpi)

Change the following:

• Topcat: Start script. Use one of those:
  • i3: javaArgs="-Xms2g -Xmx8g -Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.5"
  • wayland: javaArgs="-Xms1g -Xmx2g -Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0"
• Qutebrowser: GPU acceleration causes problems with Wayland and Nvidia. Make sure that qt.args in :set contains ["disable-gpu"].
• ~/.profile: This may not be necessary, but there are a bunch of variables that need to change. Probably not read in wayland.
  • i3:

    export GDK_SCALE=2
    export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5
    export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SET_FACTOR=0
    export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2
    export QT_FONT_DPI=96
    

  • Hyprland:

    export GDK_SCALE=1
    export GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.0
    export GTK_SCALE=wayland
    export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SET_FACTOR=0
    export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1
    export QT_FONT_DPI=96
    

• Thunderbird: On i3, you need to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPixel to 2 in the config editor.
• FreeTube: On wayland, you need to edit the Exec line in the desktop file (/usr/share/applications/freetube.desktop) so that it reads Exec=/opt/FreeTube/freetube --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland %U.
