  3. lua

    The Lua repo, as seen by the Lua team. Mirrored irregularly. Please DO NOT send pull requests. Send any issue to the Lua mailing list https://www.lua.org/lua-l.html (by ahgamut)

    The configuration file is written in Lua. I haven't tried Lua before but I can guarantee you is a pretty straightforward programming language. If it is also your first time programming in Lua, I highly recommend you watching the following video video, it is half an hour.

  4. pipewire

    Mirror of the PipeWire repository (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/)

    Once I finish installing Hyprland, I moved on to installing missing packages for audio and software I normally use. For audio, I'm using pipewire.

  5. omarchy

    Beautiful, Modern & Opinionated Linux

    The first step is deciding, what should I try to learn first? Well, it was quiet easy to find out what. If you are into Linux, you have probably heard of Omarchy at this point. Like it or not, there's no deny that it's getting more popular among developers. So, why not try to build a decent looking Arch workspace?

  6. i3

    A tiling window manager for X11

    In my case, I decided to go with a compositor instead of desktop environment. I have already used others windows tilling managers such as i3wm. This time, I want something that has more features out-of-the-box.

  7. Hyprland

    Hyprland is an independent, highly customizable, dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

    While browsing through X, I found the Hyprland project account. This was exactly what I was looking for:
