### Windows

* disable system sounds: `start menu search: "change system sounds" -> set profile to None`
* change language / keyboard layout to `en_US`
* get local admin rights
* [install powertoys](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/install#install-with-windows-executable-file-via-github)
  * remap CAPS LOCK to L-CTRL
* tmux pasteboard should play with windows pasteboard

  * `apt install texlive texlive-latex-extra` (?)
* install [alacritty](https://alacritty.org/) (use the installer, not portable)
  * add alacritty config: `/mnt/c/Users/<winuser>/AppData/Roaming/alacritty/alacritty.yml`

### WSL

```
wsl --install --web-download -d Debian
# <set username>
# <set password
# debian launches automatically

# set Debian as default (equivalent to `wsl -s Debian`)
wsl --set-default Debian

# update wsl
wsl --update --web-download

# launch debian in the home directory
wsl ~

# stabilize wsl.conf (so it doesn't overwrite `resolv.conf` in next step)
sudo touch /etc/wsl.conf
echo [network] | sudo tee -a /etc/wsl.conf > /dev/null
echo generateResolvConf = false | sudo tee -a /etc/wsl.conf > /dev/null

# fix WSL nameserver
echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# install dependencies for dotfiles installation
sudo apt install -y git curl

# install dependencies for tmux
sudo apt install -y build-essential ncurses-dev
```

### Clone repo SSH method
Skip this if you don't plan on getting SSH access to github repos and clone with HTTP instead
#### generate ssh
```
ssh-keygen -q -t ed25519 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github <<<y >/dev/null 2>&1

# echo 'older machines might not support ed25519, then use RSA with 4096 bit key'
# echo  'ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github <<<y >/dev/null 2>&1'

# add the output to https://github.com/settings/ssh/new
cat ~/.ssh/id_*_github.pub
# add to https://github.com/settings/ssh/new
```

#### activate ssh
```
echo 'adding key to ssh-agent'
eval `ssh-agent -s`  # if using fish shell run: eval "$(ssh-agent -c)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_*_github

# download dotfiles repo
git clone git@github.com:DannyDannyDanny/dotfiles.git

# config git
cd dotfiles
git config user.name "DannyDannyDanny"
git config user.email "dth@taiga.ai"
git config pull.rebase false

# install dotfiles
bash install.sh

# hop back out
cd ..
```

### Clone repo HTTP method
```
git clone https://github.com/DannyDannyDanny/dotfiles.git
```

### add sshd persistency

* for bash use github docs: [auto-launching-ssh-agent-on-git-for-windows](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases#auto-launching-ssh-agent-on-git-for-windows)
* fish version ([src](https://gist.github.com/josh-padnick/c90183be3d0e1feb89afd7573505cab3?permalink_comment_id=3570155#gistcomment-3570155))
* also run: `ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_*_github`


### fisher
```
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher
fisher install jorgebucaran/nvm.fish
```
