dotfiles

Collection of files (and dotfiles) I need every time I set up a new GNU/ Linux system (Debian based), also serves as backup.
Wanna get that swag going? Get my dotfiles! (But make sure all packages are installed)

Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma

Find desktop configuration details here.

All wallpapers are sourced from r/wallpapers. No copyright infringement intended. You can ask me to remove them if you want.

Packages

apt_installed.txt has list of APT packages needed to be installed. [apt_for_ctf.txt] has list of APT packages needed to be installed if installation will be used to play CTFs (and isn’t Kali/Parrot).

i8k_configuration.md has instructions for how to manually configure dell laptop fan bios control in linux systems.
