Caelestia is a fluid, morphing desktop shell for Linux built with Quickshell and QML, designed for the Hyprland Wayland compositor. It comes with a companion dotfiles repository and CLI for configuring a complete riced desktop environment.
Use cases
- rice my hyprland desktop with a polished shell
- get a status bar and widgets for wayland
- make my linux desktop look aesthetic
- install a quickshell-based desktop shell
- customize hyprland dotfiles with a matching theme
- add a launcher and notification center to wayland
When to choose
- you use Hyprland on Arch or Nix and want a cohesive, animated desktop shell
- you want a ready-made rice with dotfiles, CLI, and shell bundled together
- you want an actively maintained, popular wayland shell with community support
When to avoid
- you use X11 or a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
- you want a minimal, unthemed setup without heavy visual effects
- you are not willing to run a Wayland compositor or tweak QML configs
