About Test Configs
rice-cooker is an open source visual (toy) tool for browsing, previewing, installing, and reverting Hyprland desktop configurations (called "rices") that use the Quickshell shell. It only points Quickshell to the selected rice, so it does not overwrite existing files, directories, or user dotfiles. The tool is designed for Arch Linux systems running Hyprland, and its catalog only includes Quickshell-based community-submitted rices, all of which are reviewed before being added.
