+# Kevin's Linux Setup
+
+![desktop-screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/hrSnXmV.png)
+*Screenshot from my laptop config.*
+
+This repository contains the dotfiles for my Linux ["rice"](https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/3iy3wd/stupid_question_what_is_ricing/cukxwog/). It's always going to
+be a work-in-progress, but it's satisfactory for the time being. My dotfiles are
+primarily focused on workflow efficiency.
+
+## Basic Info
+* **OS**: Linux Mint 18.2
+* **Terminal**: Terminator
+* **Shell**: Bash
+* **WM**: [i3-gaps](https://github.com/Airblader/i3)
+* **Editor**: Vim
+
+## Setup
+I wrote a couple simple scripts
+([`set-configs.sh`](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/linux-config/blob/master/configs/set-configs.sh) &
+[`set-dotfiles.sh`](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/linux-config/blob/master/dotfiles/set-dotfiles.sh))
+to symbolically link the files in the repository to the locations they should be
+in the system. `set-configs.sh` sets different config files for my PC and laptop
+as they have slightly different needs (multiple monitors, screen size, etc.).
+
+## Programs Used
+* [Bash-it](https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it/)
+* [i3blocks](https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks)
+* [Various Vim plug-ins](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/linux-config/blob/f922e56b50635c9344b26f9088e37acea5647359/dotfiles/vimrc#L38)
+* [Neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch)
+* [pipes.sh](https://github.com/pipeseroni/pipes.sh)
+
+### Switch From/Try Out:
+* Arch Linux
+* Bash ➔ [Zsh](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/)
+* Terminator ➔ [rxvt](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Rxvt)
+* Vim(-based) apps:
+  * Vim ➔ [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim)
+  * Google Chrome ➔ [qutebrowser](https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser)
+  * Nemo/Thunar ➔ [ranger](https://ranger.github.io/)
+
+<!-- below are more minor stylistic goals that don't feel the need to explicitly
+include
+* i3blocks ➔ Polybar
+* Discord ➔ CLI IRC app -->
