Arch-GKuba: my post-install wizard

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Arch-based CachyOS is my desktop daily driver for gaming and coding, while my servers run Debian. Arch-GKuba is my desktop setup script. It’s an interactive wizard that installs the package groups I want, copies my desktop assets, sets up KDE Plasma or Dank Shell on Hyprland, and runs a full system update.

Run it

Run it as your normal user, not root. It uses sudo only for system changes, and you enter your password once.

My dotfiles

My dotfiles keep the shell, prompt and editor the same on every machine. The setup script installs the tools, deploys the config from a Git bare repo, syncs Zsh plugins, installs a Starship prompt chosen by hostname and applies my Fastfetch settings.

Other Starship themes are in gkuba/Starship-Configs.

Quick setup

Paste this into a Bash-compatible terminal:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gkuba/dotfiles/master/setup-dotfiles.sh)

On fish or another shell without process substitution, start bash first. Run it as your normal user in a terminal of at least 80×24. It asks for your sudo password only after you confirm the plan.

Debian Post Install

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 16:29:06 -0700

This is my customization for fresh Debian installs.

Download Debian non-free netinstall

Use the following Debian ISO as the base:

Debian 11.5 Stable non-free

NOTE: do NOT grab the EDU download. This image includes non-free and firmware

To Install

This must be run as the root user.

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gkuba/Debian-Gkuba/main/install.sh)

Install script information

The install.sh script has been completely rewritten and now allows you to run parts of it instead of the full thing. This allows you to do things like change to the Testing repository or Install Java on a system already set up. Full list of these functions below just append the one you want at the end of the command listed.
