This repository contains the dotfiles and source code (forks) required to replicate a Arch Linux desktop environment, built around the DWM. The goal is to transform a basic Arch system into a highly productive, aesthetically cohesive (Orange Neon/Nebula Theme), and lightweight environment using just one installation script.
| Category | Component | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Window Manager | DWM (Suckless) | Configured with gaps patches and focused on window control. |
| Status Bar | slstatus | Displays system status (volume, network, etc.) in a minimalist way. |
| Terminal | Alacritty | Dark theme, JetBrains Mono Nerd Font set to Bold for a "Neon Glow" orange/white effect. |
| Compositor | Picom | Enabled for Transparency and smooth shadows. |
| Monitoring | btop / htop | Stylized system resource monitors. |
| System Info | Screenfetch | Displays system specifications with the Arch logo on launch. |
| Visuals | feh / Papirus | Wallpaper management and Modern Icon Theme. |
This script is designed to be executed on a clean, basic installation of Arch Linux with a configured user and internet connectivity.
Git is the only manual dependency required to download the repository.
sudo pacman -S gitgit clone https://github.com/joaoprbrasil/dwm
cd dwm
chmod +x install.sh && ./install.shAfter the script finishes and displays the success message, reboot the system and start the DWM session:
startx
