todo

• fix disk check to ignore the active/mounted partition(s)
  • We don't want to see the installation media as target for installation
  • verify installation does not bork USB installer(s)
    • need to test on a real machine for this?
• triple check calculation of swap partition size for hibernation
  • conditional check to ensure swap file exists and is of appropriate size to automatically add resume= boot option
    • test hibernate on a real system?
• investigate potentially useful aur libraries:
  • https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs
  • https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs/

• switch to systemd user-space transmission to eliminate potential configuration conflicts

  • this also eliminates root permission concerns

• replace virtualbox in packer.json with kvm/qemu

  • remove virtualbox related commands/packages from install/packer.sh

• Create a branch to test sway/wayland packages as an alternative to openbox

  • basically relearn entire desktop environment and new hotkeys...

  • Test multiple proton/wine games on this setup

• experiment with alternative file browsers

  • dolphin
  • nautilus
  • thunar
  • nemo

• testing for thumbnailing speed, and folder thumbnail support to expedite file browsing

  • may depend on wayland compatibility?

• experiment with fcitx-mozc for IME support

• look at replacing startx/xinit with systemd userspace xorg

  • https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User#Xorg_as_a_systemd_user_service
  • https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-March/017552.html
    • appears to be some caveats, including loading specific applications at launch?
    • at one point I documented a tool called dex to launch .desktop from cli, may not be needed though?
