In this repo are my personal configurations for linux system.
All configurations are here except nvim, which is placed in a separate repository named mynvimconfig.
This repo enables me to reproduce my customed computer settings almost identically in a brandnew device by copying and pasting files into their proper paths. Those regarding copying and pasting some files tedios are advised to check out NixOs.
A list of packages I often used are included here for sake of conveniently downloading them at once.
arch packages:
For wayland
wl-clipboard
wl-copy

chromium
texlive
base-devel
debugedit

code
$(pacman -Sgq nerd-fonts)
fzf

fisher
gammastep

Copy all of these names, and use echo, tr, and xargs to install them in one fell-swoop. For example
echo "swayidle
mcfly
fisher " | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs sudo pacman -S --needed --noconfirmFirefox
In about:config, browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline set to true.
Connecting VPN on Linux may be difficult if the desired VPN agent does not have Linux support. There are several tweeks, however.
