Jay's dotfiles
My dotfiles for a great tiling window manger experience on Arch Linux with i3wm. Install your preferred distro and this as a base and throw your tools/packages on top. Note: There are many things here specific to my setup, tweak as needed. Featuring custom configurations for some of the following projects:
- vim
