## What it is
Voidrice is a collection of Linux dotfiles (shell, editor, terminal program configs and helper scripts) deployed by the LARBS auto-installation script. It configures a minimal, keyboard-driven desktop environment built around suckless tools like dwm, st, and lf.

## Use cases
- set up a minimal tiling window manager desktop on Linux
- find example vim and zsh configurations
- get terminal-based tools for music, email, and file management
- quickly provision a riced Arch or Void Linux system
- learn shell scripting with practical example scripts
- customize a keyboard-driven workflow without a desktop environment

## When to choose
- you want a preconfigured, lightweight, terminal-centric Linux desktop
- you like Luke Smith's suckless-based workflow and want it auto-installed
- you want reference dotfiles to adapt for your own setup

## When to avoid
- you prefer full desktop environments like GNOME or KDE
- you want a GUI-driven, beginner-friendly Linux experience
- you need a configuration framework with modular management like NixOS or GNU Stow ecosystems
