Try Dank Linux **[It's Foss](https://daily.dev/sources/itsfoss)** · 5 min read · 56 upvotes · 8 comments ## Summary Dank Linux is a pre-configured desktop shell suite that transforms a minimal Linux installation into a fully themed Hyprland experience using a single cURL command. Built on DankMaterialShell (using Quickshell and Go), it provides panels, a notification center, lock screen, app launcher, media controls, and automatic wallpaper-based color theming. Currently at v1.4.6, it supports Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, and Gentoo on both x86_64 and ARM64. Installation involves running a cURL script with a few configuration prompts. The desktop experience is minimal but polished, with Material Design theming, configurable top bar, workspace switcher, and GUI-based settings rather than config file editing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
