Dependencies:

• i3
• i3blocks
• i3status
• kitty
• rofi
• rofi-power-menu
• i3lock-color
• xss-lock
• brightnessctl
• feh
• Pulseaudio (should be already installed if using Mint)

Other programs mentioned:

• Flameshot
• zsh
• ohmyzsh
• Firefox Developer Edition
• neofetch

Disclaimers:

• Make sure that your user has permission to run brightnessctl without root/sudo.
• Edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf, uncomment and set HandleLidSwitch to ignore. This results in the laptop not going into suspend when closing the lid - you will have to do that manually with $mod+shift+x, but this allows the i3lock to run properly.
• Edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf, also uncomment and set HandlePowerKey to ignore to avoid turning off your laptop if you accidentally press the power key instead of backspace.
• The scripts directory in this repository should be placed in /usr/share/i3blocks. Make sure you change the iface and network configuration for i3blocks should your interface name be different.
• This configuration expects i3lock-color and rofi-power-menu to be present in the PATH (refer to their respective installation instructions and check with whereis).
• Firefox Developer Edition is specified in the i3 config (and should also be present in the PATH) - if you do not want it installed, just replace firefox-dev with firefox.
• Keybinds $Mod+Space and $Mod+M change the keyboard layout between us and gr respectively. Make sure to change the layouts according to your preferences.

To-Do:

• Make keyboard layouts switchable with a single keybind instead of having separate ones for each layout.
