## What it is
Serpantinum is a desktop shell for Wayland compositors, built in QML, evolving from the author's popular dotfiles configuration. It provides a themed desktop UI layer (panels, widgets, launcher) for Wayland-based Linux setups.

## Use cases
- give my wayland compositor a full desktop shell
- rice my linux desktop with a polished qml shell
- replace waybar and rofi with an integrated shell
- get a beautiful hyprland desktop setup
- turn my dotfiles into a complete wayland desktop environment

## When to choose
- you use a Wayland compositor like Hyprland on Arch and want a cohesive, aesthetic shell
- you want a ready-made riced desktop without assembling panels and launchers yourself

## When to avoid
- you run NixOS, which is explicitly unsupported until flakes are introduced
- you need a stable, long-term-supported desktop environment rather than a rapidly evolving personal project
- you dislike installer telemetry or want a fully declarative setup
