# Doors are sturdier than windows
|
|
|
|
The idea is a one liner to have a quick workbench, like flipping a door on its side for a quick desk.
|
|
|
|
I'm writing speedrun install scripts for my personal desktop environment that is:
|
|
|
|
1. Reliable
|
|
1. Fast
|
|
1. Made from readily available components
|
|
1. Simple (see above)
|
|
1. Decent looking
|
|
|
|
I try to use the terminal as much as possible for performance and also so it's the same experience whether
|
|
you're at the computer or connected via ssh.
|
|
|
|
Use as much or as little as you need.

## Install
|
|
You should have an [Arch](https://archlinux.org) system, you can run this immediately after a minimal `archinstall` setup:
|
|
|
|
If you want recommendations for [archinstall](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall) I'll say:
|
|
|
|
- [Btrfs](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs)
|
|
- I personally dislike [Swap](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap) (don't run out of ram if you don't have swap)
|
|
- [PipeWire](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire)
|
|
- [linux-zen](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel)
|
|
- [NetworkManager](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager)
|
|
- Whatever else you want
|
|
|
|
Shell install also works on Ubuntu Server 22.04 so it should work on any buntu or Mint, Pop, etc. and maybe Debian too but
|
|
packer is broken for some reason at least on minimum (Ubuntu Server 22.04) install
|
|
|
|
### Quick shell (start here):
|
|
As your new user in your new user's home directory run: (will overwrite some user files)
|
|
|
|
1. ```curl https://doordesk.net/setup | bash```
|
|
|
|
2. Log out and log back in
|
|
|
|
### Graphical environment
|
|
If you want a graphical environment run: (Arch only)
|
|
|
|
`.scripts/doors/.installdeps_full_arch`
|
|
|
|
to get the rest and then:
|
|
|
|
```startx``` to load it.
|
|
|
|
but it might be missing some things depending on your install profile (still testing)
|
|
|
|
## Post Install
|
|
1. Neovim will be confused on first start until `:PackerSync` is run
|
|
|
|
### TODO:
|
|
- support more distros
|
|
- make sure full install actually has all deps handled
|
