so, this a guide to replicate my linux setup, ideally in time there will be a script to replicate instantly all this cool stuff on any arch/artix based linux distribution

This is a simple collection of all the main tools that i have installed on my system.
I make heavy use of [Luke Smith](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz)'s LARBS, a script that i recently forked and changed to better suit my needs.
You can find my version of LARBS [here](https://github.com/filippo-ferrari/LARBS)
# distribution: artix
Artix is basically arch only without that piece of this cringeware that is systemd.

# window manager: dwm
"[dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/) is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle and floating layouts. All of the layouts can be applied dynamically, optimising the environment for the application in use and the task performed.
In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In monocle layout all windows are maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the layout applied."
there is a ton of customisation possible and patches that you can compile to modify the behaviour, vim bindings to navigate the entire system are a fucking blessing i swear, The version that you will find on my fork of LARBS contains a number of changes that im too lazy to list right now, see them for yourself, sorry.
# status bar: dwmblocks
[dwmblocks](https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks) is a modular status bar for dwm written in C, if you run Luke's LARBS script, dwm will arrive with a bunch of very well done scripts for all your general needs, i added some scripts of my own (example: bluetooth script to show the status)
you can also find pre-made scripts all over the world wide web
its super minimalistic, super customizable and super light, highly fucking recommended
# menu: dmenu
"[dmenu](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/dmenu) is a fast and lightweight dynamic menu for X. It reads arbitrary text from stdin, and creates a menu with one item for each line. The user can then select an item, through the arrow keys or typing a part of the name, and the line is printed to stdout. dmenu_run is a wrapper that ships with the dmenu distribution that allows its use as an application launcher."
its cool and you it supports a ton of stuff, like pass

# file manager: lf

[TLP](https://linrunner.de/tlp/index.html) is a feature-rich command line utility for Linux, saving laptop battery power without the need to delve deeper into technical details.
TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life and implement Powertop’s recommendations out of the box. So you may just install and forget it.
Nevertheless TLP is highly customizable to fulfil your specific requirements.
P.S. i stil cant manage to make the TLP service work properly with runit, so if you want to create a highy customized config you might want to stick to [systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash)
