gentoo-ddubs 🐧⚙️

A reproducible snapshot of my Gentoo config

• Plus snapshot of Jak's Hyprland dotfiles

• You can download current dotfiles here

• Scripts to bootstrap a similar system quickly.

• It includes Portage configuration

• kernel config

• Desktop configs for Hyprland

• There are scripts for upgrading, post-install cleanup

Note: I don't promise this will work for you.
I created this so I can test Hyprland dotfiles with Gentoo Mostly Jak's Hyprland dotfiles

• The gentoo-install-project-overview.md has more info on this project
• It does attempt to detect GPU hardware.
  • To date it's only tested in Proxmox VMs.

✨ Highlights

• 🚀 Installs Hyprland: Will install Hyprland from Gentoo repo and needed packages
  • Currently Gentoo Hyprland is at v0.51.1 in testing repo
• Installs OxWM Window Manager from @tony,btw
  • Inspired by dwm built in rust, fast and lightweight
  • GitHub repo here
• 📦 System snapshot: Portage configs, world file, fstab, locale, kernel .config
• 🧩 Window manager: Hyprland
  • Login manager: ly
• 🗂️ Dotfiles: Jakoolit's Hyprland config
• 🚀 One-command user setup: scripts/gentoo-install-hyprland.sh
  • This is Jak Koolit's Hyprland config.
  • You can install your own or clone from his repo for most current version
  • Jakoolit's dotfiles are NOT auto installed just the Hyprland WM
• 🧰 Kernel maintenance tools: sys-kernel/installkernel, app-admin/eclean-kernel, dev-python/zstandard
  • Post-update helper: scripts/after-kernel-update.sh
