A high-performance, modular desktop configuration built on Arch Linux and Hyprland. Designed for a dark, minimalist aesthetic with a focus on system efficiency and keyboard-driven workflow.
| Component | Choice | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Arch Linux | Minimal base installation |
| WM | Hyprland (Wayland) | Dynamic tiling window manager |
| Bar | Waybar | Custom "notch" design with targeted blur removal |
| Terminal | Kitty | GPU-accelerated terminal emulator |
| Wallpaper | awww | Wayland wallpaper daemon for smooth transitions |
| Hardware | AMD Ryzen 5 | Optimized for integrated Radeon graphics |
This configuration moves away from a monolithic setup into a highly maintainable, modular structure:
- Modular Hyprland Config: Core settings are kept clean by extracting system logic into separate files:
monitors.conf: Handles display outputs and scaling.keybindings.conf: Centralized shortcut management.
- Refined UI: Waybar is styled as a clean top-notch rather than a floating pill, stripping out unnecessary background blur to maximize performance and visual clarity.
- Modern Wayland Daemons: Utilizes
awww(formerly swww) for reliable layer-shell wallpaper rendering without caching bugs.
