My personal Gentoo setup is tailored to my preferences and incorporates a Dracula-inspired colorscheme that is easy on the eyes. To stay current and maintain a clean codebase, I have opted to use Wayland instead of Xorg. For the compositor, I have selected Hyprland for its simplicity and visually pleasing design, despite its slightly less minimalistic features compared to dwl or other options. In terms of the bar, I have found Waybar to be highly convenient and habitual. As for the notification manager, I highly recommend Dunst, due to its extensive customizability and seamless functionality.

Regarding authentication, I have found Doas to be an ideal option for a one-user system, as I do not require the full range of options offered by Sudo. Its smaller codebase is also a desirable factor.

Now, let us move on to the dependencies and other related details.

These config files will probably work on any distro, but gentoo is a personal recommendation for the tinkerers. It's a really simple and barebones setup.

• FunctionalWayland setup, Gentoo stepshere.

• Hyprland as the compositor.

• Waybar as the status bar.

• Dunst as the notification daemon.

• Swaybg to set the wallpaper.

• Foot as the terminal emulator.

• Wofi as the launcher.

• Pywal andPywalfox to create a cohesive colorscheme between the terminal, browser and email client. To use Pywalfox on Librewolf followthis.

• Pipewire as the audio server, no Pulseaudio or Alsa.

• Grim,Slurp andSwappy combo for screenshots.

• Nextcloud to sync my files to and from my selfhosted instance.

• Neofetch to show some eye candy when the terminal starts up.

• Cbonsai, a relaxing utility to grow little trees in your terminal emulator.

• TheDark Reader extension for Librewolf, and Firefox obviously, that allows to force a dark theme on all websites.

The realization of my customized setup is owed to the dedicated communities and developers who have contributed their time and expertise to the open-source movement. It is truly an honor to be a part of such a collaborative and supportive community where individuals assist one another in achieving their objectives. As such, I urge everyone to support and recognize the developers responsible for the dependencies I have utilized.

Furthermore, I feel it is crucial to acknowledge and appreciate the creators of the individual components utilized within my setup. It is thanks to their talent that I was able to construct the pieces of this "puzzle." While I have made modifications to their files, it is their original work that served as the foundation and inspiration for my setup.

• The original Waybar Dracula theme.

• The amazing maintainers of the Dracula Wofi theme.

• The dracula enthusiasts that made the Dunst theme.

• The incredible Dracula Theme Hub.
