Solstice Dots

Description

These are my personal dotfiles for daily driving Fedora KDE. This setup is a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster, with some original work done by me. Most of it was inspired by a mix of Pazl27’s and Emmale64’s dots, and many of the configs are just slightly tweaked versions from the official Catppuccin repositories.

Everything is themed with Catppuccin Mocha, with a heavy focus on CLI tools since I’ve been using a mix of nvim and Obsidian for taking notes and writing for college.

This repository contains:
