POST-UPGRADE

cd development/i3-gaps && git pull && make && sudo make install

SET UP A NEW INSTALL

Ideally avoided but I've had to do a new install often on laptop, as OS X upgrades have been trashing bootability of my linux partitions and I haven't had time/skill to figure out why.

  • do the one-line ubuntu software installation (as well as the dev one-line)
  • copy entire home folder using: sudo rsync -aPside
  • install i3-gaps again
  • fix the trackpad settings again
