Wowow
This is really 🔥🔥🔥
Once it's in the release, I'll figure out a way to make the same clickable folder and files in nushell 's ls command. 😀

Tried setting up nix plasma-manager today.

Just added a basic config now. Powerdevil and panels are yet to be added. For panels I think I should use something like #waybar or something else. (Suggest some waybar like thing which is both lightweight and aesthetically good).

Also anyone using #nix #plasma-manager? Would love to see ur configs if possible for reference😅.

And also trying the #xremap tool for shortcuts management 😅

In case you haven't come across the "bare Git repo" style of #dotfile management — I recommend it. Simple, sturdy, portable, low overhead.

The more I adapt #chezmoi for my setup (will still take ages!), the more I like this tool. 👍

All of my special requirements could be addressed so far in a clean/reasonable way. And I do have plenty weird requirements. 🤓

It's made for #dotfile management but it is more versatile than that. For example, I'll manage most (if not all) of my personal #shellscripts with that as well.

@a_blahaj Take a deep breath and think why want to rice. I once sat a whole day setting up hyprland, only to realise that I'm trying to have all the features my KDE have. So I took a deep breath and said, maybe I'll stick to KDE now and I'll tinker it later.

So maybe start from what u need and what u love.

My #dotfile "system" is a mess, so when kicking the wheels on #ubuntu #linux 24.04 I also tested the #chezmoi dotfile manager.

When installing chezmoi, a oneliner if you're not squeamish about curl | sh, you can also have it, say, install #ansible and run a playbook using prefixed script names (run_once, or run_onchange on future file changes). Very nice!

Yes, there are better bootstrapping tools, but sometimes you just want something quick and easy that does the job.

A small/mini-post, but just a quick update on turning my daily driver #neovim setup into a remote, very basic setup.

I thought of just using vanilla #vim or #neovim, but I really like the speed the keymaps I've come to know and love offer me. There are some short instructions too if you're unsure how to use a single #git repo to manage various neovim and #dotfile configs.

Finally switched to chezmoi for dotfile management across multiple machines 😍!

chezmoi provides much more than symlinking or using a bare git repo including: templates, password manager support, file encryption and running scripts.
