Installation

For Arch only

• Move dotfilesrc to home directory. And necessary fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts

  mv ~/Dotfiles/dotfilesrc "${HOME}/.dotfilesrc""
  cp -r ~/Dotfiles/fonts/* ~/.local/share/fonts/

• Install necessary packages.

  cat ~/Dotfiles/pkglist | yay -Syu -

• Set zsh as default shell and install zgenom

Notes

Fish will be the default shell for Alacritty and zsh will be the default user shell.

I've edited /etc/lxdm/Xsession per my needs. If your DM uses .xinitrc or .xsession by default, you won't have to edit Xsession.

Use your own OpenWeather API and city ID in conky config.

Don't install dotfiles without checking them. Check the dotfiles first, modify it and then proceed to installation.
