What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
An opinionated but customizable set of dotfiles and install scripts that sets up a developer-friendly terminal environment (zsh, tmux, Neovim, modern CLI tools) on Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, macOS, and WSL 2 in about five minutes. On Arch it can optionally provision a complete niri-based Wayland desktop environment with Waybar and Walker.
Use cases
- set up my arch linux dev machine in minutes
- bootstrap dotfiles on a new system
- configure zsh tmux and neovim with one command
- install a niri wayland desktop environment on arch
- set up wsl 2 with linux developer tools
- manage dotfiles without forking the repo
- create ssh and gpg keys on a fresh install
When to choose
- you want a fast, opinionated but configurable terminal setup on Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, macOS, or WSL 2
- you want a ready-made niri-based tiling Wayland desktop on Arch
- you prefer TUI-first workflows and hotkey-driven environments
- you want SSH/GPG key generation and modern CLI tools wired up automatically
When to avoid
- you want a fully unopinionated dotfiles framework to build from scratch
- you need a desktop environment other than niri or a non-supported distro
- you prefer GUI-centric tooling over terminal workflows
