About

My goal here as a creator is to deliver content for people who are new to Linux, as well as current users who want to learn more or customize their systems. I'm also looking to improve my setup to help make me more productive. Things like a new microphone, a decent camera, and hopefully a dedicated system for video rendering. If you look at my channel's videos, I've been steadily increasing my content output, and this, of course, takes time to plan, record, edit and render.

thank you.

bspwm-install's Issues

can't run ./setup.py

I'm getting the error bash: ./setup.py: cannot execute: required file not found. I have installed xorg-server and lxdm on arch and enabled lxdm with systemctl enable lxdm

EDIT: nvm i just had forgotten to install python package from arch

Adding Rofi to the installer

Hello , it would be nice if we add rofi and it's dotfiles to the installer , (there are no dotfiles of rofi in the config)
with the new arch install , we can just save our config and install arch in one liner and then use the script to install bspwm

bspwm

Does not work tried a year ago and did not get bspwm in my log in screen lxdm I thought I must have done something wrong. Now I just tried it and the same happened and I made sure beforehand that all dependencies are installed and after reboot it threw me back to my openbox session I exited and again no option for bspwm I rather go the manual way like I did with i3 awesmewm and openbox!!!!
