Features · Keybinds · Installation

A full customizable Linux desktop: bar, system settings and menus to customize your desktop. Built on Hyprland (window manager) and Quickshell (what the bar and menus are made with).

This setup aims to keep things simple, fast, practical, and easy to make your own without editing config files.

Requirements

• Arch-based distro: Arch, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, etc.
• A mostly clean install. Replaced configs are backed up automatically.

New to Linux? I recommend watching this CachyOS Tutorial.

Hardware

• RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended.
• GPU: Intel, AMD or NVIDIA with compatible wayland drivers.
• Display: Will look much better in FHD or higher.

As reference I made this project with a i5 6th dell laptop with integrated graphics so it should be really smooth in other potatoes too.

Features

• Quickshell — Fast, lightweight, customizable desktop components.
• Top bar - Customizable bar with settings, and quick shortcuts.
• Settings — System settings, customize hyprland appearance, and themes.
• Wallpaper picker — Customizable | Wallpaper-based color generation, and live wallpapers.
• Preset Themes — Monochrome, Nord, Tokyo Night and more, with custom theme support.
• App Launcher — Rofi App search, clipboard history, and opacity controls.
• Zsh + Starship — Enhanced shell with autosuggestions and command history.

Installation

READ ALL

Works for Arch, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, etc.

This is mainly intended for a clean installation (existing configuration files that are being replaced will be backed up automatically).

First install git then use the next command and continue the installation until it's finished

sudo pacman -S git   

git clone https://github.com/43PR/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

After the installation finishes log out and back in.

Check settings and keybinds first.

Right-click on desktop components to customize them.

To close components use Esc key or use the same keybind.

[!important] Do not move or delete the dotfiles repository after installation.

This setup uses symbolic links (symlinks) that point to files inside the cloned repository. If you move or delete the repository, those symlinks will break.

If you relocate the repository, simply run:

./install.sh

The installer will update the existing symlinks to point to the new location.
