Please keep in mind this is a duplicate of the original. As I am converting it from the web to Gemini many links are missing. This will improve over time. On top of that it should be noted that any problems with this version should ONLY be directed towards me. You can submit changes or report issues over on the Gitlab page for this. You can find the repo for this under my account, just follow the dotfiles link on the home page.
