## What it is
HyDE is a shell-based theming and configuration framework that turns Hyprland-based Linux systems into a fully customized, aesthetic desktop environment. It provides dynamic themes, wallpapers, dark/light mode switching, and curated dotfiles across Arch-based and NixOS distributions.

## Use cases
- rice my hyprland desktop with beautiful themes
- switch between dark and light mode dynamically on linux
- get a preconfigured arch linux desktop environment
- manage wallpapers and themes across my linux setup
- install a full hyprland dotfiles setup
- customize my linux desktop look with wayland

## When to choose
- you run Arch, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Garuda, or NixOS with Hyprland and want a polished desktop out of the box
- you want dynamic theming, wallpapers, and dark/light mode without hand-crafting dotfiles
- you want an actively maintained, community-supported ricing framework

## When to avoid
- you are not on a Hyprland/Wayland Linux setup
- you prefer to build your own dotfiles from scratch with full control
- you need a lightweight minimal setup without theming overhead
