These configs were created and tested on Kubuntu 20.04 using i3-gaps, and should only be used on similar systems. Any Ubuntu derivative is probably fine, especially if you're already familiar with i3. If you get stuck in a terminal with no internet, check out [Linux Admin/Getting Started](https://knoats.com/link/62#bkmrk-connecting-to-wifi).

#### Additional Configuration
`stow --adopt .` can be used to install conflicting files, but doing so will result in the loss of your local configurations. If you want to keep them, back up the conflicting files output in the error message before running this command.
**Installation of clang for clang completion**
If you don't want clang completion, just remove the plugin directory from `~/.vim/bundle/`.
If you don't remove clang completion and skip the following steps, vim will show errors when opening source code files. This is because these configurations use clang completion for so urce code auto completion and drop-down menus within vim.
Note that the `printf` command may take some time to finish, since it is searching your syst em for a needed file.
```bash
sudo apt install clang
printf "export LIBCLANG=\""$(find /usr/ -name libclang.so.1 2>/dev/null)"\"\n\n" >> .bash_al iases
echo "let g:clang_library_path=\$LIBCLANG" >> ~/.vimrc
source ~/.bashrc
