Hi /g/ I want to install Arch, I'm trying to go for ultra minimalist but not when it would interfere with speedier workflow. To save me the hassle of reinstalling, I'd rather ask you guys in advance.
So far I have the following in mind:
i3 WM
cmus
firefox+vimperator
gpic view
ranger
are the default fonts fine these days?
Also general Arch thread.
so if you get mc instead of ranger by accident you will reinstall

yes, so before I even install it I'm asking you guys.
fonts are ok
remember, hinting - hintfull, AA - true, lcdfilter - lcdnone, dpi - your_monitor_dpi
dejavu and terminus from repo
windows and roboto from the aur

If you want to go 'minimalist' you should compile your own kernel and drop systemd in favor of any other init. Might want to look into busybox as it comes with slim gnu clones for the most used tools in a single binary. Also why firefox+vimperator? Firefox will switch to gtk3 soon and you'll have masses of unneded dbus services (like at-spi) you don't need at that point. Why not look into qutebrowser? Sure it needs python and qt5, but hell, it's still slimmer than anything using gtk3.

void linux is rolling release without systemd

Enjoy your huge, ugly fonts.

Systemd is fucking amazing. It's as minimalist as you can get anyways.

here we go again with this fucking bait
>>51839828
Then why aren't you showing what the look like with those settings?
ignore anybody suggesting against systemd, you will end up needing it eventually anyway.

Argument 1: Socket Activation.
I can have all the daemons I want ready to run without the security risk.

>"muh freedom"
Solid argument, good sir.
>>51839841
sure
give me a min
>>51837540
>i3 WM
It is also nice but I prefer to go with awesome. Semi-relavent: conky is a useful extension to any WM.
>cmus
+ mplayer
>firefox+vimperator
chromiu
>gpic view
>ranger
I you prefer to have gui instead, sunflower is pretty solid.
