git clone "https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git" "$HOME/projects/builds/yay"

vim / neovim

Compatibility workaround for NeoVim:

ln -s .config/vim/vimrc .vimrc

Plugins are managed by vim-plug, which is installed from the AUR.

vim +PlugInstall # install all plugins
vim +PlugUpdate  # install or update all plugins
vim +PlugClean   # remove plugins no longer in the list

Wallpaper

The wallpaper is randomly selected from images (png, jpg and jpeg) located in the $HOME/pictures/wallpapers/ directory.

Specific wallpapers for winter can be set in the winter sub-directory.

/etc/locale.conf

cat >/etc/locale.conf << EOF
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8

rtkit-daemon

By default, rtkit-daemon tends to flood the system logs with not very useful notifications:

déc. 31 14:16:56 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.
déc. 31 14:16:56 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.
déc. 31 14:17:00 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.
déc. 31 14:17:00 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.

This can be fixed by setting a higher log level:

sudo mkdir "/etc/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d"
echo "[Service]\nLogLevelMax=4" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d/log.conf >/dev/null
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart rtkit-daemon.service

NetworkManager

To deactivate WiFi when a wired connection is up, have a look at example 15 from man 7 nmcli-examples.

TL; DR: copy and paste a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/70-wifi-wired-exclusive.sh and set it executable.
