FreeBSD i3wm Deployment Script

This script automates the transformation of a fresh FreeBSD installation into a professional, Dracula-themed i3wm (Gaps) desktop environment. It handles everything from driver installation to aesthetic configurations like blur, transparency, and system-wide color palettes.

The Goal

To go from a "blank slate" FreeBSD terminal to a fully riced productivity machine in one command.

Features

• Graphics: Automated drm-kmod setup for Intel/AMD graphics.
• WM & Aesthetics: i3-gaps with picom (dual-kawase blur) and the Ant-Dracula theme.
• Consistency: Synced Dracula colors across i3, LightDM, GTK 3.0, and .Xresources.
• Hardware Support: Configures webcamd, FUSE for mounting, and OSS/ALSA audio.
• UK Localization: Defaults to gb keyboard layout (easily adjustable).
