ML4W OS is an Arch Linux–based distribution built around a deeply customised Hyprland dynamic tiling compositor. The project focuses on delivering sophisticated Hyprland configurations – commonly known as “dotfiles” – which can also be installed on other Arch-based distributions, as well as Fedora and openSUSE.
In addition to these standalone configuration packages, the ML4W OS live ISO provides a complete, ready-to-use Linux distribution. It includes the full Hyprland setup along with curated applications, icons, themes, and wallpapers. Installation to a hard drive is handled through a custom text-based system installer. The project further supports users with comprehensive documentation covering the setup and configuration of Hyprland.
- Dynamic Themes & Desktop. Experience a complete desktop based on the Dynamic Tiling Window Manager Hyprland, adaptive material themes, dark & light mode.
- Many Customization Options. Comes with helpful graphical apps and tools to configure your setup, change themes, and tweak your environment.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
