    If you want to try an alternative script, here are mine. Save them somewhere and replace click-left with the full path to powermenu.sh like you did above.
  • Arch Linux best practices?

    I like yadm for dotfile management. It's mainly a git wrapper, but it lets you version control your home directory simply. Here are my dotfiles. They're far from perfectly organized, but maybe you can use some of these ideas. I take general notes in README.md, have install notes in Archinstall.md, and manually update my package preferences in .pkg/. Again, this is far from perfect. Someday I'll clean up unused config files and better organize my notes.
