ML4W OS 2.10.0, the latest Hyprland‑based dotfiles collection rebranded from “ML4W Dotfiles”, now ships a beta live ISO that boots directly into Hyprland with wallpaper‑derived adaptive material colors, adds a calendar app, improves btop’s theme support, and stabilises the Welcome and Settings apps. The ISO is an Arch base configured for systemd‑boot, so you should write it to a UEFI bootable USB; installing on Arch requires running sudo install-ml4w-os from the live session, while other distros can copy dotfiles via the Flathub Dotfiles Installer but still need to resolve dependencies manually.
