Main OS: Fedora 41 Cinnamon

Software/Configurations for Arch

I no longer use Arch on my main machine, I run Fedora 41 Cinnamon now. This section is still here for whenever I do end up using my Arch installs again tho.

WARNING: My configurations take into account the fact that you are also using the other apps I use. All the important apps are listed below. Don't just copy paste my configs. Look at them and edit them to your liking before actually using them as your own. I am not responsible for any breakage of your system.
