[Hyprland] Cyan Breeze — Comprehensive desktop environment on a legendary ThinkPad X230

The ThinkPad X230 is still a beast in 2026.

I've spent a lot of time building a consistent and functional environment that I call Cyan Breeze. It’s not just a theme; it’s a full workflow for my school projects and programming sessions.

What’s inside:

Custom Tools: I built a Rofi-based Control Center, Wallpaper Picker, and Icon Picker to keep everything fast and keyboard-driven.

Consistency: Everything from LazyVim to Waybar and even the file manager follows the same Cyan aesthetic.

Performance: Running Arch Linux with the Zen kernel makes this 13-year-old laptop feel faster than most modern ultrabooks.

I’m finally sharing my dotfiles and scripts. This is my first proper "rice" and my first GitHub repo ever, so let me know what you think!

The stereotypes are true. Installed Arch on an X230i and these just appeared on my legs.

I thought the "programming socks" thing was a myth. Then I installed Arch, configured Hyprland, and now I can't stop using LazyVim. Help, I'm becoming too powerful.

X230i + Arch Linux = Peak Performance.
