## What it is
ML4W OS is a full-featured dotfiles configuration that turns Hyprland, a dynamic tiling Wayland window manager, into a complete desktop environment with adaptive material theming, bundled apps, and graphical customization tools. It ships with a script-based installer supporting Arch Linux (and derivatives), Fedora, and openSUSE Tumbleweed, plus a Live ISO for risk-free testing.

## Use cases
- set up a full Hyprland tiling window manager desktop on Arch Linux
- install a preconfigured Wayland ricing with adaptive wallpaper-based themes
- test a complete Linux desktop environment from a Live ISO before installing
- manage and update dotfiles safely with snapshot backups and symlink staging
- customize a Hyprland setup with graphical tools for themes, GTK, and Qt
- get a ready-made Wayland workflow with rofi, waybar, kitty, and nvim

## When to choose
- you want a polished, batteries-included Hyprland desktop without hand-configuring every component
- you run Arch, an Arch derivative, Fedora, or openSUSE Tumbleweed and want automated dependency setup
- you want safe dotfile updates with snapshot backups and dry-run testing
- you want to try a full tiling WM setup in a VM or from a bootable USB first

## When to avoid
- you use Ubuntu, Debian, or other non-rolling point-release distros where Hyprland support is problematic
- you prefer GNOME, KDE, or a conventional floating window manager
- you want to write your own minimal Hyprland config from scratch and only borrow snippets
- you rely on the deprecated Flatpak-based installer
