todo

• investigate using Ignorepkg to lock the kernel and prevent disruption during daily updates

• investigate a method of detecting "hidpi" displays without relying on xserver so we can automate configuration changes

• replace hard-coded /dev/sda

  • parameterize setup/install.sh to detect disks and interactively ask for primary
  • parameterize disk so that bootctl in arch.sh determines the root partition

• enhance setup/install.sh such that it can intelligently size swap

  • detect if laptop (pacman -S dmidecode) or ask if user wishes to enable hibernation
  • detect memory total (cat /proc/meminfo | grep "MemTotal" | awk '{print $2}')
    • if no hibernation
      • total > 4GB use 20% for SWAP
      • else use 200% total
    • if yes hibernation
      • if total < 6G use 200%
      • else use 100% + 2G

• verify locale-gen with ja_JP.UTF-8 works without any problems

  • test fcitx-mozc or alternatives for GUI selection and IME support

• investigate laptop-mode-tools configuration (on an actual laptop)

  • modify panel_items = LTSCB in ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc for displaying battery

• consider adding https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay/ to the installed AUR packages

• investigate libfm and pcmanfm enhancements

  • a patch to enable directory thumbnail generation
  • support for webp files; including animated webp files

• try out i3 window manager

• try out Dolphin as an alternative to pcmanfm

• try out docky as a combined replacement for gmrun and tint2

• experiment with tint2 alternatives (menubar):

  • dzen
  • lemonbar
  • polybar
  • yabar
  • i3blocks
  • stalonetray

• experiment with notification services (I don't use one personally):

  • dunst
  • statnot
  • twmn

• experiment gmrun alternatives (launchers; would love one that can do math):

  • rofi
  • albert
  • dmenu
  • kupfer

• try and figure out how to add ctrl+c support to the getty login (like debian)
