User:Et-8/GLARBS

GLARBS = Luke Smith's LARBS modified for Gentoo by Et-8

Warning
GLARBS is in the early stages and will not work without further modification!

Important
GLARBS follow Gentoo's default configurations and use OpenRC as init system. If you want to use Systemd, make the necessary changes in the corresponding files.

Note
GLARBS is meant to be as close to Luke's configuration as possible. This include the I3-window manager and pulseaudio. Although using DWM and alsa with Gentoo is prefered.
