Setup

git clone git@github.com:YOURNAME/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./install.sh

One-time hibernation enablement

Hibernation requires a persistent swap file, kernel resume parameters, and a regenerated UKI. Run once, then reboot:

sudo bash scripts/enable-hibernation.sh

After reboot, systemctl hibernate will work, and lid close / 30-min idle will suspend-then-hibernate per the tracked logind config.

One-time NetworkManager activation

After install.sh deploys the NetworkManager config, swap from systemd-networkd to NetworkManager (one-time, persistent across reboots):

sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager

Wifi will drop for a few seconds and reconnect via iwd's stored profiles. If reconnection fails, re-enter the wifi password via nm-applet (tray icon) or networkmanager_dmenu (waybar network widget click).

One-time fingerprint setup

After install.sh installs fprintd, enroll a finger and wire it into the sudo + lockscreen auth stacks:

fprintd-enroll                                  # interactive; touch the reader as prompted
sudo bash scripts/enable-fingerprint.sh         # idempotent — safe to re-run

Test with sudo true (should prompt for fingerprint) or Mod+Shift+E to lock + touch the reader.

To enroll additional fingers: fprintd-enroll -f left-thumb (or right-thumb, left-index, etc.).
