This repository contains my personal development environment setup files and scripts. Please feel free to use it as you wish.

Installing Tools:

I setup my environment primarily using the Makefile and passing in the corresponding platform name. As of now the following Makefile targets are supported which runs their respective setup scripts:

• arch
• ubuntu
• docker
• mac

Simply run make <target> to use call the respective scripts.

Cleanup Tools:

Not Implemented Yet! Coming soon!

You can run make clean to revert the changes made by running one of the setup targets.

(ARCH) Pre-OS Install:

A pre-OS install script has been included for Arch Linux. This pre-install script performs most of the Arch Linux install steps described on the Arch Wiki. To use the pre-install archiso.sh script:

1. Download Arch Linux and create a bootable-USB using the pre-installation instructions.
2. Boot to the Arch Live USB and then connect to the internet.
3. Use one of the following methods to run the archiso.sh script:

• zsh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s7117/.dotfiles/main/bin/archiso.sh)
• Download the script to a separate USB and run using ./archiso.sh

4. While running the script will prompt you multiple times to continue. Enter Y to continue or anything else to exit the script.

Some of the Arch Install Script:

• Checks EFI boot mode.
• Verifies internet connectivity.
• Checks system clock time.
• Partitions the install drive (largest drive is default).
• Formats the partitions.
• Mounts the new file system.
• Changes the mirrors to the US mirrors only.
• Installs several packages via pacstrap.
• Checks and installs CPU microcode.
• Checks and Installs GPU driver.
• Configures some post-install (using arch-chroot) options.
• Prompts for root password change.
• Shows post install instructions.

(ARCH) Post-OS Install:

Setup Startup Services and User:

During the first boot into Arch Linux do the following:

1. systemctl enable dhcpcd
2. systemctl enable ufw
3. systemctl enable sddm
4. systemctl enable iwd # for wi-fi
5. ufw enable # start firewall
6. visudo # Uncomment %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
7. useradd -m username # create user
8. passwd username # change user's password
9. usermod -aG wheel username # add user to sudoer's list Reboot after these steps...

Running the Post-Install Script:

1. Login and open terminal.
2. git clone https://github.com/s7117/.dotfiles.git
3. cd .dotfiles
4. make arch # Enter sudo password as needed
5. sudo vi /etc/default/grub
6. Uncomment the GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false line.
7. sudo ~/.aurpkgs/grub2-themes/install.sh -t vimix -i color -s ultrawide2k
8. Reboot.

Fixing Windows Dual Boot Time Issues:

Run the following command in the command prompt on Windows to set Windows to use UTC.
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation" /v RealTimeIsUniversal /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f

Refer to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#UTC_in_Microsoft_Windows
