sisyphus

This repository serves as my dotfiles. It contains the configuration for my Linux machine(s), for multiple distributions. Not everything might be up to date and/or working, so don't expect a working machine if you try to use this configuration for your own machines. However, feel free to steal some parts or be inspired.

Analogy

The analogy is quite simple.

Over the course of getting to know Linux and during my career as a student, I had to reinstall my OS SO so so many times, either because I bricked my previous install, or because things weren't working the way I wanted them to or even because I found the current install to be cluttered. On a particular day, I had installed Arch (that's what I started with back then) over ten times, which is my personal record of most-installed-computers-in-one-day so far. I also managed to speedrun the installation process to 8min30sec for the kernel with an additional 4min30sec for installing Sway (fun fact/did you know?).

Later, this worsened even more when I had way too much fun playing around with the machine configuration. (Managing disks is prone to errors!) I hope my addaction to breaking my laptop will ease with this repo: keeping everything easily accessible, often statically configured, so that it can be installed with as little input as (reasonably) possible.

TL;DR: Discovering Linux was a tedious process and I had to start over several times, hence the analogy with Sisyphus, greek mythology.

But also because it sounds cool and it has the sys from sytem in the name, don't tell anyone this though.
