Debian customizations from Chris Titus Tech

A personal Debian post-install script and dotfiles dump from Chris Titus Tech, bundling desktop customizations (rofi menus, kitty terminal themes, GIMP config, picom, sddm theme) behind a single install.sh. It's for someone who wants to clone Chris Titus's specific desktop setup wholesale, not a general-purpose Debian tool.

Single entry point (install.sh) instead of a wall of manual steps. Decent breadth in one place — over a hundred kitty color schemes and a full rofi applet menu system (apps, power menu, network, volume) ready to go rather than assembled piecemeal from different repos.

Ships a compiled binary directly in git (deb-packages/sddm_0.19.0-4_amd64.deb) instead of pulling from a package mirror — no way to audit what's in that blob and it'll never get a security update. No commits since April 2024, so it's pinned to whatever Debian release was current then; run it against a newer Debian and expect broken package names or missing repos. GitHub reports the repo's language as Scheme, which is just it picking up the bundled GIMP .scm scripts — misleading, since there's no actual Scheme logic here, it's a shell/config repo. No documentation of what install.sh actually does step by step or how to opt out of individual pieces (GIMP config, sddm theme, etc.) — it's all-or-nothing.
