# ============================================================================ # New-install package review — generated from this machine on 2026-10-11 # # HOW TO REVIEW # - Keep a line -> it gets installed # - Delete the line, or put a "#" at the start -> it gets skipped # - Everything after "#" on a line is just a description for you # # Notes I flagged (look for "!!" below): # - Hardware-specific packages (CPU microcode, NVIDIA driver) only make # sense on matching hardware — the script can auto-detect these instead. # - Some packages are leftovers from other setups (e.g. XFCE, waybar, # orbit-wifi which you removed in commit 88484f8). # ============================================================================ ## ---------------- Official repos (pacman) ---------------- adw-gtk-theme # Unofficial GTK 3 port of the libadwaita theme amd-ucode # Microcode update image for AMD CPUs !!
