My Custom Distribution

This project showcases my fully customized Arch Linux setup, also known as "rice." It includes a collection of personalized configurations, scripts, and tools designed to create an efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and productive environment. The setup features a highly customizable window manager (Qtile), custom shell configurations (Zsh), application launchers (Rofi), and various other utilities that enhance both the functionality and appearance of my Linux desktop.
