Useful Linux Desktop software

Tested on CachyOS (Arch-based). Most packages should work on other Arch or Debian-based distros with minor adjustments.

Setup

bash setup.sh [--work] [--personal] [--optional] [--dry-run]

(Run from the repo root; linux-desktop/setup.sh is a thin shim onto it.)

setup.sh auto-detects the distro from /etc/os-release:

  • Arch / CachyOS (and Manjaro, EndeavourOS, …) — installs via yay (repo + AUR), bootstrapping yay with pacman if it's missing.
  • Ubuntu / Debian — installs via apt + snap, adding the eza / fastfetch / GitHub CLI repos as needed.

Either way, pyenv and nvm install via their official curl scripts (~/.pyenv, ~/.nvm), the login shell is switched to zsh, and the zshrc / antidote / Ghostty configs are copied into place. Use --dry-run to preview every command without changing anything.

Package definitions and per-distro names live in the root packages.json.

After running, verify the result (read-only — installs nothing):

bash verify.sh [--work] [--personal] [--optional] [--all]

verify.sh mirrors setup.sh's selection logic, so passing the same flags checks exactly what that install should have produced, plus runtime checks (login shell is zsh, pyenv Python, nvm Node, antidote, configs, tailscaled).
