linux-dotfiles

My dotfiles, for Linux

Uses vcsh for source control.

Requirements:

• emacs 27 or greater.
• git
• vcsh - managing home dir dotfiles with git
• asdf - managing Ruby, Node, and Postgres versions
• karlicoss/grasp set up as a system service for org-capturing from Firefox.
• ag / the-silver-searcher - fast searching

Steps to set up a new Linux laptop again, for my own edification:

1. sudo apt update
2. sudo apt install vcsh silversearcher-ag vim luarocks spotify-client gnupg tmux tlp s-tui htop smartmontools
3. (if gnome) sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
4. ssh-keygen
5. Set up gh
6. Install vcsh (from apt, etc)
7. In home directory: vcsh clone git@github.com:mathias/linux-dotfiles.git linux-dotfiles
8. Make sure that emacs can load init.el cleanly

Firefox setup

Firefox 74.0 or newer.

Extensions to install:
