Just configured my working laptop. Spent a lot of hours to "learn" how various tools (polybar, kitty, nvim) works and how to configure them.

Nvim written from scratch, I tried to comment out the various files written in lua.

Based on colorscheme "nordic" from alexvzyl.

I just want to say that I remember hearing that i3-gaps is now pointless because i3 now supports gaps, having merged them from the i3-gaps fork.

Any recommendations for video tutorials on how to do this

There are bunch of them. I preferred to start configuring those components by reading and trying to understanding how does the various configurations work. Then I took a look at the ricings I liked and started from them. For every piece of ricing, there is a default configuration where you can start to edit.

Neovim was the hardest to understand (and I'm sure I did something wrong or useless), and also for it there are a lot of useful resources on the web, I can't really raccomend one or another, but again, I avoided every video tutorial just because I prefer to read.

Start with one component and start ricing!
