You can also start the Welcome App from the terminal with

ml4w

The welcome screen includes the most important keybindings to open a terminal or a browser.

You can start the ML4W Welcome App by clicking on the L icon on the right side in waybar, using the rofi application launcher or by typing ml4w in your terminal (if you're using the .bashrc from the dotfiles).

  • Network Settings: Select your network configuration incl. WiFi
  • Update your System: Starts the terminal application to update your Arch packages (pacman & yay)
