LARBS

LARBS, or Luke's Auto-Rice Bootstrapping Scripts, is an open-source automation tool that installs and configures a minimalist Linux desktop environment on Arch Linux and Artix Linux. It transforms a fresh installation into a keyboard-driven workspace optimized for terminal applications and efficient navigation. The setup installs a curated collection of programs, including terminal utilities, text editors, and desktop components. It integrates Luke Smith's Voidrice configuration files to provide consistent application settings and shortcuts. Users can customize the installation by selecting alternative dotfile repositories, program lists, and AUR helpers. Its shell-based installation process reduces repetitive manual configuration. LARBS provides a functional starting environment that users can modify according to their development and productivity preferences.
