+# July's Dotfiles
+
+These are the dots I use on all of my computers.
+
+Currently, I primarily run:
+- Arch Linux
+- Budgie Desktop
+- X11
+
+Notable items in this repo:
+- `bin/minecraft`: barebones downloader + launcher in POSIX sh
+- `bin/setup`: setup script, getting additional configuration data and installing software
+- `bin/wallmanip`: wallpaper manipulation script; can pad or crop images with various effects and positionings
+- `dconf`: my Budgie panel layout
+- `dracula.reg`: Wine Dracula colorscheme
+- `gtk-3.0`: Budgie titlebar removal and workspace panel adjustments
+- `qt5ct`: qt5 Dracula colorscheme
+- `qutebrowser/redirects.py`: redirection intercepts for various privacy-respecting website frontends, based on the config [here](https://gitlab.com/jgkamat/dotfiles/-/blob/master/qutebrowser/.config/qutebrowser/pyconfig/redirectors.py)
