dotdot

Personal dotfiles, actually working on void-linux.

You can apply them with stow

Clone this repo in your home cd && git clone https://github.com/fuzoh/dotdot. Use stow . from the root folder of the cloned repo.

Stow will show you conflicting files, remove the ones you want to replace with a stow link or use stow . --adopt then git diff to compare your actual files with these dotfiles.

Stow creates link high up in the file tree as possible, if you want to link only config files, you may want to first create the config folders :

cd dotdot # Folder with the freshly cloned repo
# Create all folders
fd -d2 -td . .config/ -x mkdir -p ~/{}
fd -d2 -td . .local/ -x mkdir -p ~/{}
mkdir ~/.icons
mkdir ~/.gnupg
mkdir ~/Templates

# Link the dotfiles
stow .

Installing a fresh void system to use with dotfiles

Tips and triks

Cursors

Themes included in these dotfiles are from Rosé Pine.

Network

Network can be easyly configured. Install network manager for fully automated network configuration. Then, it is possible to use nmtui to manage networks with a simple interface.

Fonts

You can copy fonts in your user .fonts directory. Then use fc-cache -r to rebuild font cache.

Apple studio display brightness

To control studio display brightness, use asdbctl. Clone the repo, build the rust binary with --release flag. Then copy it to .bin.

Hyprland update

see infos on void-hyprland repo

Don't forget update void-packages sources. Sometimes you will need to remove the old installed packages and reinstall to updates the libraries paths. Use xbps-remove.

Update thorium with .desktop (same procedure for other .AppImage apps)

You can find thorium relases here.

You can get the right AppImage from this release page. Use AVX2 build if your CPU supports it. Then, you will need to extract the app image to retrieve the .desktop file.

Thorium.....xxx.AppImage --appimage-extract # This will create a squashfs-root
# You can now copy the .AppImage from the squashfs-root to your app folder, for example :
cp ./squashfs-root/thorium-browser.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
# Then, you can remove the squashfs, set the AppImage executable, and move it to one of your binary folders
rm -Rf ./squashfs-root
chmod +x ./Thorium...xxx.AppImage
mv ./Thorium...xxx.AppImage ~/.bin/thorium

Tessen for pass search

curl -LO https://git.sr.ht/~ayushnix/tessen/refs/download/v2.2.3/tessen-2.2.3.tar.gz
tar xvzf tessen-2.2.3.tar.gz
cd tessen-2.2.3/
sudo make install

Video recording and edition

To make efficient recordings and video edition without using much CPU but with 4k quality, i use :

• wl-screenrec
• ffmpeg

With wl-screenrec I record my screen directly from the GPU buffers, and encode it in AV1 with the hardware encoder available with my CPU. Then, I use ffmpeg to cut and merge videos with the --copy flag to avoid reencoding, this allow instant cuts and megrges.

# Recording with wl-screenrec
wl-screenrec -o DP-1 --codec av1 --audio --low-power off --filename path_to_file.mp4
# -o to select monitor to record
# --low-power seems to avoid problems in my setup

# Cut the video with ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i filename.mp4 --ss 00:01:00 -to 00:12:02 -c copy output_file.mp4
# -ss specify the start timecode (wideo before will be cut)
# -to specify the end timecode (video after will be cut)
# -c copy tells ffmpeg to not reencode the video

# Assemble multiple videos
# Create a text file with all the paths to the videos you want to merge
echo "file 'part1.mp4'\nfile 'part2.mp4'" > videos.txt
# Perform merge
ffmpeg -f concat -i videos.txt -map 0:v -map 0:a -c copy merged_video.mp4

To edit the audio and apply compression and equalisation :

# Extract the audio file from the video
ffmpeg -i my_video.mp4 -vn -acodec copy audio.aac

# Then edit the audio file in your daw, apply compression, equalization... Render a new audio file.

# Insert the new audio file as the video audio track
ffmpeg -i my_video.mp4 -i my_new_audio.aac -c:v copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 video_with_audio.mp4

Installing deb packages on void linux

WARNING, you may break your system if you ignore errors... be careful

This is a last resort solution, you should favour using oficial package manager, flatpack or other native package system.

We will use xdeb, a script that allows to convert a .deb to an xbps template.

# Generate a template
xdeb -Sedf <DEB_PACKAGE_NAME>.deb
# The type the xbps-install command given by the xdeb command

If xdeb gives you an error, carfully consider it to avoid breaking your system.

Installing satty for screenshots

git clone --branch <TAG> git@github.com:gabm/Satty.git
PREFIX=~/.local make install

Color profiles

icc color profiles must be put in ~/.local/share/color/icc. Profiles can be downloaded from eci consortium site.
