Hi, I'm Baru.

Linux enthusiast crafting clean, minimal, and functional desktop experiences.

I use Linux because of the freedom it gives me to understand, customize, and build my own ideal workflow. My projects primarily focus on Debian, i3wm, shell scripting, and terminal-centric tools. As a self-taught learner, I constantly draw inspiration from the open-source community, experimenting and sharing my own work along the way.

Debian i3wm Neovim Zsh

⚙️ What I'm Focused On

  • Building polished, highly functional i3wm environments.
  • Creating reusable and well-documented Linux dotfiles.
  • Optimizing terminal workflows and writing clean shell scripts.
  • Deepening my understanding of Linux internals.

⚙️ My Setup

Component Choice
🐧 OS Debian 13
🪟 WM i3wm
🖥️ Terminal Kitty • Ghostty
🐚 Shell Zsh
📝 Editor Neovim
🌐 Browser Brave • Firefox ESR
🎨 Theme Colloid Dark + E-Ink Dark + Gruvbox

Tools I use daily: Eww • Rofi • Picom • Dunst • MPD • Git


📦 Featured Projects

🌑 i3 + Eww // E-Ink Dark

A lightweight and modern i3wm desktop experience built specifically for Debian 13. It features a cohesive E-Ink inspired dark theme, custom Eww widgets (including a dashboard, control center, and weather), integrated Rofi applets, and autotiling for a completely distraction-free workflow.

🪟 i3 Rice

A minimal, distraction-free i3wm setup featuring Polybar, Rofi, Dunst, and Picom. Includes multiple color themes, a built-in theme switcher, custom utility scripts, and scratchpads for a seamless workflow.

🐚 Zsh Configuration

A clean and productive shell environment powered by Powerlevel10k, FZF, Zoxide, and Eza. Integrated with Chafa for terminal image previews, Bat for syntax highlighting, and loaded with custom Git helpers and Linux-friendly aliases.


💡 Philosophy

Minimal doesn't mean empty.

I strongly prefer software that is fast, lightweight, keyboard-driven, Unix-friendly, and open source.
