Note
Hash symbol means sudo:
# echo 'example'
And dollar symbol means normal user:
$ echo 'example'
# pacman -Sy sway
# pacman -Sy greetd greetd-tuigreet
Enable greetd.service
# systemctl enable greetd.service
Edit configuration file /etc/greetd/config.toml:
[terminal]
vt = 1
[default_session]
command = "tuigreet --cmd sway-run"
user = "greeter"
Create /usr/local/bin/sway-run file:
#!/bin/sh
# Session
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=sway
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway
# Toolkit Backend Vars
export GDK_BACKEND=wayland
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"
# Qt Vars
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
# Force Firefox to use wayland
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
exec systemd-cat --identifier=sway sway $@
And made it executable:
# chmod +x sway-run
Note
Custom run file for sway allow you to set environment variables
Default arch installation have a lack of fonts for asian languages.
I preffer Google Noto fonts to close this lack:
# pacman -Sy noto-fonts-cjk
For terminal one I really love Iosevka Nerd Mono:
# pacman -Sy ttf-iosevkaterm-nerd
Set font in your terminal, in my case it is Alacritty and Kitty.
This command can help your with search of correct name of font family:
$ fc-list | grep Iosevka
Install qt5ct, qt6ct and Kvantum Manager:
# pacman -Sy qt5ct qt6ct kvantum
Kvantum Manager already have some themes, I prefer Arc Dark.
Install Arc Solid theme for GTK apps and Papirus icons:
# pacman -Sy arc-solid-gtk-theme papirus-icon-theme
Set Arc theme in Kvantum, then set Kvantum theme, fonts and icons in qt5ct and qt6ct.
Install Zsh and some plugins:
# pacman -Sy zsh zsh-autosuggestions zsh-completions zsh-syntax-highlighting
Change your shell to Zsh:
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh
Clone git repo:
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/Git/powerlevel10k
