Complete overview of the setup

Setup Overview

This section documents the tools, configs, and workflows behind my daily setup. It combines real dotfiles, short tutorials, and practical context so the system is not just shown, but also explained.

The topics below cover the desktop, terminal, shell, notifications, widgets, Git, and supporting tools. Documentation files can be read as rendered guides, while config files stay available as raw source.

Selected File

fonts.md

.config/tools/fonts.md

Fonts

Fonts are part of the terminal and desktop experience.

Installed Fonts

  • ttf-meslo-nerd - primary Nerd Font
  • ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd - secondary Nerd Font

Fontconfig

Fontconfig lives at .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.

Does

  • Keeps font fallback predictable
  • Supports terminal icons and Nerd Font glyphs
  • Helps Alacritty, Waybar, and shell tooling render consistently

Workflow

Use Nerd Fonts for terminals and status UI. Keep fallback rules in fontconfig instead of patching each app independently.
