Setup environment cheatsheet

Yes, that's better to be NixOS config here, but I use arch (btw).

Preparation for MacOS

  • Update system. Install homebrew.
  • You will need to install homebrew' zsh and be sure you switched to it.
  • Setup iTerm2 like guake

Preparation for Linux

It mostly implies you should use KDE on Wayland.

  • Setup font: use JetBrains Mono Nerd Font 11pt for monospace and San Francisco apple font for other things.
  • Nextcloud from Appimage works better than any version, idk why.
  • KeepassXC with custom browsers requires Browser integration -> Advanced -> Use a custom browser configuration. For example, Thorium requires to have Chromium type and ~/.config/thorium/NativeMessagingHosts there.
  • Setup ssh agent. Here will be working example for ArchLinux (btw) and Wayland KDE.
$ systemctl --user enable --now ssh-agent.service

# kate ~/.config/environment.d/ssh_vars.conf
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/ssh-agent.socket

Make sure zsh is default shell: chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh. For Yakuake it will also require to setup/choose another profile, because default one is read-only.

Installation of environment

  • Set dracula theme everywhere you can, starting from terminal.
  • Go to KeepassXC and check that it works with ssh-agent. ssh-add -l has to print key which works with Github.
  • Install chezmoi, mise and ejson using your system manager.
sudo ln -s /Volumes/exfat/OpenCloud/Personal/Software/dotfiles/ejson /opt/ejson # or any other way to export your ejson key

Apply .dotfiles:

chezmoi cd
chezmoi init [email protected]:Mayurifag/.dotfiles.git
chezmoi diff # preview
chezmoi apply
  • Install packages for all languages and tools: make mise-packages

Things to do after

  • Initiate sync on VSCode (I did not have backup outside of proprietary microsoft binaries)
  • Import and DO NOT FORGET ultimately TRUST gpg key:
IMPORT: gpg --import all-private-keys.asc
Check: gpg --list-secret-keys
Trust the imported key:

gpg --edit-key [key_id]
gpg> trust
  5 = I trust ultimately
Do you really want to set this key to ultimate trust? (y/N) y
gpg> quit
  • Install and configure gitkraken. Make sure it updates or not either itself or with package manager:
# /etc/hosts
# prevent autoupdates of gitkraken because its managed with package manager
0.0.0.0 release.gitkraken.com
  • Setup external disks like windows one or samba or whatever
  • Setup espanso. On MacOS go through Accessibility "privacy" hell first.
sudo setcap "cap_dac_override+p" $(which espanso) # for wayland
espanso service register
espanso start # its for linux, on macos launch app and go through accessibility hell
# ... # cron setup for macos with espanso restart due to memory leaking
  • Setup obsidian (use nextcloud)
  • Setup Browsers.app as default browser

Sidenotes for MacOS

Paid macos apps I use (not in Brewfile)

  • Bartender
  • BetterSnapTool
  • GitKraken
  • Cleanshot
  • ...

Sidenotes for Linux

  • Run updatedesktopdb alias after installing arch-packages and chezmoi things.
  • Setup layouts
    • You need ones with typographic symbols (not sure its easy nowadays, needs guide).
    • Setup CapsLock to change layouts and right Alt as 3rd line modifier.
  • Setup guake-like terminal and shortcuts
  • Setup Wi-fi regulatory domain to South Korea:
# /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom
WIRELESS_REGDOM="KR"
  • Prevent updating of gitkraken:
# /etc/pacman.conf
...
IgnorePkg = gitkraken
  • Enable native overlay diff engine to speed up building images in docker (info from ArchWiki):
$ kate /etc/modprobe.d/disable-overlay-redirect-dir.conf
options overlay metacopy=off redirect_dir=off
$ modprobe -r overlay
$ modprobe overlay
  • Activate docker socket and group
sudo systemctl enable --now docker.service
sudo groupadd docker # Check or create group docker
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker
docker info # run docker info and check that Native Overlay Diff is true
  • Setup bluetooth (maybe dualboot)
  • Setup shortcuts:
Dolphin: Alt+E # a-la macos
Spectacle: Rectangular region on Alt+1 (Alt+!) # screenshot tool, I dont think I need other functions
Yakuake: Alt+`, Ctrl+` # terminal. Alt+` for a-la macos
Krunner: Meta+Space

# /boot/refind_linux.conf
"Boot using default options"     "root=PARTUUID=13bbf375-9a9a-45cf-a256-3ea4f77ca6e0 rw nowatchdog zswap.enabled=0 amd_iommu=off amdgpu.gttsize=131072 ttm.pages_limit=33554432"
  • Instructions to use waystt as Speech-to-Text software:
sudo usermod -a -G input $USER
systemctl --user enable --now ydotool.service
echo '## Give ydotoold access to the uinput device
## Solution by https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool/issues/25#issuecomment-535842993
KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE="0660", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-uinput.rules > /dev/null
waystt --download-model

Notes

  • Repo is using ejson with keys.ejson file, which is needed to be reencrypted on changes:
ejson decrypt keys.ejson # or alias - dec
# edit ...
ejson encrypt keys.ejson # or alias - enc
  • If previous command did required sudo, you may do Esc+Esc in terminal due to zsh-sudo plugin
  • Bluetooth for dualboot requires a lot of attention because of many updates going on on win and bluez sides.
  • Example of /etc/fstab entry for shared NTFS partition:
$ sudo -i
# mkdir /mnt/Shared
# kate /etc/fstab # CHANGE PARTUUID
PARTUUID="61ffcf10-e472-4c71-8e04-cf57c6463e6b" /mnt/Shared   ntfs3   \
uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000,nofail,noatime,user,exec 0 0

  • If some shit goes with Privacy in MacOS settings, try to remove entry with little buttons and launch app once again to go through that hell once more.

  • Claude code configuration inspired by this repo

  • Playwright installation

  • Make steam silent, i.e. on Windows
