What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A collection of custom Linux dotfiles (zsh, neovim, tmux, git, ssh, etc.) managed with GNU stow, styled for a terminal-centric 'rice' setup. It provides a versioned, symlink-based approach to organizing and sharing per-user configuration files.

Use cases

  • set up a customized linux terminal environment
  • manage dotfiles with gnu stow
  • get a riced neovim and tmux config
  • back up and sync shell configs across machines
  • customize zsh prompt and themes
  • copy a unixporn-style terminal setup

When to choose

  • you want a polished, terminal-only linux setup to adopt or adapt
  • you need a simple stow-based dotfile management pattern
  • you like the author's neovim, zsh, or tmux aesthetics

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform or GUI desktop configuration
  • you want a dotfile manager with no manual setup
  • you need actively maintained window manager configs (moved to the classic branch)
