Installation

curl -L get.axeni.de/ambxst | sh

Ambxst is currently supported on Arch, Fedora, and NixOS. This means both based and derivative distributions.

Important

The only pre-requisite is having Hyprland installed.

Note

For NixOS users, the screen recording utility gpu-screen-recorder will only be able to use the portal backend until you add programs.gpu-screen-recorder.enable = true; to your configuration.nix or home-manager.

Will this change my config?

Nope! Ambxst is designed to be non-intrusive. It won't modify any of your existing configurations.

It applies its own settings only when it runs, via IPC communication. This means you can safely switch back to your previous setup by simply exiting Ambxst.
