The author, a contributor to the project, shares personal enthusiasm for the setup along with screenshots of their own desktop configuration built on it. ## Content Serpantinum ([https://github.com/ilyamiro/serpantinum](https://github.com/ilyamiro/serpantinum/tree/master)) is the continuation of Imperative Dots ([https://github.com/ilyamiro/imperative-dots](https://github.com/ilyamiro/imperative-dots)) which was Arch/Nix + Hyperland, Quickshelll setup with a bunch of dot files which makes up amazing desktop ui for hyprland wm. When I used the imperative dots from **Illia Miroshnichenko** for the first time, I was amazed by the idea and the execution of each little component. I mean there are animations, smoothness, usability all in one place. I like the project so much that I also contributed a small part of the project like adding hold to copy IP functionality or adding a bunch of dependency for resolving clean install issue. Just days ago, the stable version or v2.0.0 of imperative dots or now named Serpantinum has been released and it's amazing. I plan on contributing more to the project but for now I'm just writing to share my favorite setup as of now. Check it out for yourself because there are just a lot of cool things but as of now this is what my desktop looks like at a glance.
