Fakefetch

Background

+ Fakefetch is the first real program I have ever created that I use daily apart from config + files. I made fakefetch when I saw people complaining about neofetch being slow that is why + I have called it fakefetch. In the start it was just 10 lines of bash echo commands which is + like printing in python, so it was bascially bare theminimun, and I was not proud of this + program I was like ok thats done just add it to my .bashrc and continue using Linux. After + about a day I wanted to see if I could add more to it like the uptime, then comes what + package manager im using and after a while I have made my own mini neofetch program that I + can use on all of my computers. +

Why Fakefetch?

The main reason why you should use Fakefetch is because it is a very flexible program + being written in bash script; it is not a large program, only being one file large and does + not slow down your computer at all unlike Neofetch. Fakefetch is also very hackable thanks + to how I have commented on the code, meaning you can make your own Fakefetch versions and + make it do whatever you want thanks to it being licensed under the GPL, so you have the + right to redistribute it if you make your own versions that you can share with anybody.

Qtile config

- Qtile is a desktop environment that is written in the Python programming language. If you - have any knowledge of programming, you might think, how slow is that? Well, it is not really - slow. I have not had any issues with Qtile, and I have only had good experiences with it. It - has been very fun customising it over the time I have been there and making it my own little - by little! If you know how to programme in Python, it is very fun just to toy around with and - customise, so if you want a really hackable desktop environment for Linux, I would suggest Qtile - a thousand times over! -

Install scripts

+ In the gitlab repo there is two files, an install.sh and an autoinstall.sh. The + install.sh asks you if you what programs you want to download whilst the autoinstall + installs without asking. These scripts just install software and fireware I use. If + you want to modify the scripts it should be easy since it is written in bash, all + you really need to do is put in package names you want. +

+ +

Software

+ Some of my favourite software I have in the my install scripts is Mpv and youtube-dl, this is + because it allows me to watch youtube videos in my terminal. This is further enhanced + by the ytfzf command that allows me to browes videos in my terminal. The reason why I + like this is because youtube has became very annoying. They have games on that website now and + whenever I serch something it only shows like 4 valid resaults, whilst ytfzf shows me + nothing but valid resaults. +

- In both my Qtile configs, laptop and Pc configs I have it set out rather simpily, - I have an install script that sets up my config.py for qtile and asks you if you want - to install some of software that I use. I also have an auto install script that I use - most of the time. These install scripts are written in bash script because they are one - use and it is easier to just do it in bash if its a one use thing that I will delete - afterwards. -

+ Another good bit of software my install scripts is librewolf, a privacy centered brower + that acctually cares about your privacy unlike firefox. Whilst I do like firefox it has + decended from what it once was and you need to install a custom user.js to become really + secsure. Whilst with librewolf iy just does it for you and gives you settings on what + you want to enable. I like librewolf because I know that the brower is designed to keep + ne safe and that makes me feel well safe. +
