Setup notes
- Enable the services:
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager bluetooth power-profiles-daemon.
- To use iwd as NetworkManager's Wi-Fi backend, create
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf containing [device] and wifi.backend=iwd.
- The yazi
recycle-bin plugin is already in the repo. Run ya pkg upgrade to update it.
- Firefox only loads
userChrome.css after you set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in about:config.
- Run
matugen image /path/to/wallpaper once after installing. It creates the colors.* files that Hyprland, Waybar, rofi, kitty and the other apps import. Those files are gitignored, so none of them exist until matugen runs.
