README

a glorified dotfiles

Welcome to the glorious dotfiles!

This is a collection/stash of my linux configurations also known as dotfiles. I don't know why did I wasted my time writing these, especially my AwesomeWM setups. Or maybe it's because... I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really -- I was alive. ;) So no wasted time after all. You're probably here because of my awesome dotfiles. So yeah, steal what you want. Don't forget to check my other projects!

Make sure to create a backup if you have a current AwesomeWM configuration.

Copy the the-glorious-dotfiles/config/awesome/SETUPNAME folder to your "${HOME}"/.config/. I'll just assume that you don't have an awesome folder in your ~/.config/:

# Use the Floppy setup
$ cp -r the-glorious-dotfiles/config/awesome/floppy $HOME/.config/awesome

# Use the GNawesOME setup
$ cp -r the-glorious-dotfiles/config/awesome/gnawesome $HOME/.config/awesome

# Use the Linear setup
$ cp -r the-glorious-dotfiles/config/awesome/linear $HOME/.config/awesome

# Use the Surreal setup
$ cp -r the-glorious-dotfiles/config/awesome/surreal $HOME/.config/awesome

Change the global configuration in $HOME/.config/awesome/configuration/config.lua.
Reload AwesomeWM by pressing Super + Shift + r.

Selling the dotfiles

Why would I want this?

Core features

These are the features included in my AwesomeWM setups!

Notification Center
Dynamic Wallpaper
File/Web Searching like macOS' Spotlight
Application Dashboard
Brightness and Volume OSDs
Functional Trash Widget
Built-in Screen Recorder Widget
Built-in Calculator Widget
Email Widget
Weather Widget
Quake Terminal
Hardware Monitor
Blue Light Filter Widgets
Lockscreen Module with Face Capture and PAM Integration
Easter eggs!^{Mostly bugs}
Any many more!

I don't really rice just to make it beautiful, I want it to be also functional so that's why it's "bloated" with features.

Gallery

Some of these are outdated, so it is better if you try them yourself.

Floppy
Floppy was meant to be a clone of the infamous Flurry Desktop. I named it Floppy because I thought it would flop when I first posted it on r/unixporn. This is my favorite.

glorious
GNawesOME
Yes, GNawesOME is a weird name. GNawesOME was meant to be a GNOME clone. Instead, it became a hybrid of macOS, iOS, GNOME, and Deepin. I regret nothing.
