These long strings are unique and stable.
This allows to write an output configuration suitable for multiple
laptops on multiple workplaces with multiple monitors.
Especially hot-plugging is simplified with this because it simply works
without using tools like wdisplays each time.

The old section name `colors` is deprecated.

On some systems the bar was otherwise extremely small.

`swaybar` has icon issues on Arch Linux. Furthermore waybar - while more
complicated to configure - has way more features. Complexity can be
avoided by a minimal config.

This is distracting. Disabling it should improve focus.

The so far used version was outdated for a very long time.

This removes the last plugin dependencies not provided by the Neovim
developers and thus improves security and reduces maintenance and
complexity.

This allows to easily switch between source and header file in C.

Current supply chain attacks highlight the risk of using a lot of
plugins. This commit is just a test how much I need snippets and
completion by disabling them.
Maybe this is rolled back or replaced by a custom Lua implementation.

With the bar from the configured LSP the first 81 columns are not
visible anymore in nvim. Thus this font size is reduced.

Some distributions do not do this.

This handles extension of the `PATH` environment variable with systemd's
environment.d folder instead of using it in e.g. `~/.profile`.
The advantage is that `~/.profile` is not sourced by everything. The
purpose of environment.d is to pass the environment to everything the
user uses. Notably also window managers which might not source
`~/.profile` leading to not showing up programs in `~/.local/bin` in the
program menu.
See `man 5 environment.d` for details.

The `lar` (list archive) function is a utility to quickly inspect an
archive file.

A lot of software does not know the `foot` terminal emulator. This leads
to issues. Setting the TERM variable to the well-known `xterm` works and
avoids issues.
