Ambxst is a highly customizable desktop shell for Wayland compositors like Hyprland, Niri, and MangoWC, built on Quickshell with QML and a native Go backend. It provides an integrated suite of desktop components including an app launcher, notification system, media controls, system monitor, and theming engine.

Use cases

  • customize my hyprland desktop environment
  • wayland shell with app launcher and notifications
  • rice my linux desktop with themes
  • manage wallpaper, clipboard, and notes on wayland
  • quickshell-based desktop shell
  • system monitor and media control overlay for hyprland
  • switch from hyprland to niri with same shell

When to choose

  • you use Hyprland, Niri, or MangoWC on Arch, Fedora, or NixOS and want a polished, deeply customizable shell
  • you want an all-in-one launcher, notification, media, and system-monitor suite without assembling separate tools
  • you want theming and presets that don't overwrite your existing compositor config

When to avoid

  • you are on X11 or a non-Wayland setup
  • you use a compositor other than Hyprland, Niri, or MangoWC
  • you prefer a minimal setup with individually chosen components rather than an integrated shell
