DOTFILES

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" — Leonardo da Vinci

Personal configuration files for a minimalist, keyboard-driven workstation. Designed around the philosophy of doing more with less — every tool earns its place, every keystroke has a purpose.

🎯 Philosophy

  • Minimal — No bloat. Only tools that serve a purpose survive here.
  • Efficient — Optimized workflows that keep your hands on the keyboard.
  • Resource-conscious — Bare-bones window managers and lightweight utilities that respect your system's resources.
  • Customizable — Unique, personal, and endlessly tweakable.
  • Portable — Consistent experience across distributions.

🛠️ The Stack
