Upcoming Features and Improvements ✨

1. Expand Functionality for Different Distributions 🌐

   • Add full support for popular distributions:
     • Arch (including Manjaro) 🖥️
     • Debian 🐧
     • Fedora 🍕
     • openSUSE 🐢
     • Void 🌌
   • Develop distribution-specific setup scripts.

2. Enhance Script Stability 🔧

   • Refactor existing scripts for improved stability.
   • Implement error handling and logging for better debugging.

3. Improve TUI (Text-based User Interface) 🎨

   • Enhance user experience with better navigation and visuals.
   • Add more themes and customization options.
   • Integrate user feedback for continuous improvement.
   • Explore GTK integration for a graphical interface.

4. Implement Additional Programming Languages 💻

   • Add Rust implementations for performance-critical components.
   • Explore opportunities for parallel development in Rust.

5. Add Window Manager (WM) Setup Scripts 🪟

   • Create and improve installation/setup scripts for more window managers (e.g., i3, Sway).
   • Include configuration options tailored for each WM.

6. Core System Setup Scripts ⚙️

   • Develop beginner-friendly scripts for core system setup (e.g., package management, user configuration).
   • Include guides and documentation to assist new users.

7. Enhance TUI with Rust 🦀

   • Transition the TUI implementation to Rust for improved performance and maintainability.
   • Leverage Rust's features to create a more responsive interface.
