How I Restore My Setup

• Install Debian Buster minimal, without any DE
• Enable

  contrib

  and

  non-free

  repository (/etc/apt/sources.list)
• Connect to the internet
• Install git
• Clone this repo

  git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/dotfiles ~/.dotfiles

• Deploy the dotfiles

  cp -a ~/.dotfiles/. ~

• Restore the packages

  sh ~/.scripts/openboxpack

  or

  sh ~/.scripts/fluxboxpack

• Add user to sudoers using

  visudo

• Change the systemclock to localtime

  timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

  then set the time in BIOS (because I set my BIOS clock to localtime insted of UTC)
• Change the default CLI Shell

  chsh $(whoami) -s /usr/bin/fish

• Edit some system configuration, example in ~/.dotfiles/.system
• Reboot
• Fix some errors
• Start working
