Qtile config

Overview

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.

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.
