ML4W dotfiles

This is the configuration of my Arch linux based installation. I'm using the Hyprland (Wayland) and Qtile (Xorg).

Common Packages

• Terminal: alacritty
• Editor: nvim
• Prompt: starship
• Icons: Font Awesome
• Menus: Rofi
• Colorscheme: pywal (dynamic)
• Browsers: brave, chromium
• Filemanager: ranger, Thunar
• Cursor: Bibata Modern Classic
• Icons: breeze-dark
• Theme: Breeze-dark
• Virtual Machine: qemu (Windows 11 with looking glass and xrdp)

Hyprland

• Status Bar: waybar
• Screenshots: grim

Qtile

• Compositor: picom
• Status Bar: polybar
• Screenshots: scrot

Templating

Included is a pywal configuration that changes the color scheme based on a randomly selected wallpaper. Just type w in a terminal (or SuperKey + Shift + w). SuperKey + Ctrl + w opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers for individual selection. See also the .bashrc for more alias definitions.
