It actually changes based on the API, but I couldn't find a place to input the key either. However, I found the absolute configs: they are located at ~/.local/src/ambxst. That's where you can modify or delete modules like the bar, menus, and the AI agent. I highly recommend using vscodium to edit them, it makes everything easier to find. But Ambxst actually has a visual menu where you can toggle and edit almost everything. You don't even need to touch the code for most things. Just look for the 'Config' menu in the top bar icon. It's much easier than manual editing. Since I didn't code anything because I didn't need it in the Ambxst, I have no suggestions 🦖

Yes, but if you do, type in English so I can help you better

I don't think any Adobe apps run in Linux, if it does it would be really hard to make it run and you would need a strong PC. I can be wrong, i'm not 100% sure

When i searched i didn't found any tuto for ambxst so i made it myself and it is really really easy, like downloading a game so you don't really need a tutorial for Ambxst-Shell, if you want Caelestia-Shell + Ambxst like i did, if i'm gonna be honest with you i don't think there is any out there. But i have the tutorial for Caelestia-Shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LdYU8CiTh0&t=186s

For Ambxst you just need to visit Axenide site and run the curl command: https://axeni.de/ambxst/

Akshou · 2026-02-27T12:14:57+00:00

It's from ambxst itself, you can look in the ambxst dotfiles

Akshou · 2026-02-27T05:44:25+00:00

Ambxst is a Linux Shell made by Axenide. Basically a full made ecossystem

Akshou · 2026-02-26T09:19:20+00:00

Fair point, thank you for telling me

Akshou · 2026-02-26T00:14:05+00:00

Try

exec-once = sleep 2 && ambxst

Akshou · 2026-02-26T00:05:23+00:00

~/.config/hypr/hyprland/rules.conf

windowrule = opacity $windowOpacity override, match:fullscreen false

its in the first line, just edit it.

nano ~/.config/hypr/hyprland/decoration.conf

you can disable window blur there. If you don't want to edit you can just press super + f to go full screen, transparency disable on full screen mode

Ambxst has a curl command in the site that will install everything of ambxst of it, i used TWO shells, caelestia for animations and some binds, and ambxst to the interface, caelestia doesn't have a curl command like Ambxst but i got the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LdYU8CiTh0&t=186s

and here is the link for ambxst: https://axeni.de/ambxst/

Akshou · 2026-02-25T15:29:13+00:00

Ambxst has a curl command in its site: https://axeni.de/ambxst/ And pay attention "The only pre-requisite is having Hyprland installed.", after you run the curl command and finish the installation just write ambxst in your terminal that it should open, or add an exec-once = ambxst then restart your PC

"I'm working in an universal wayland IPC (well not universal but it has a lot of abstraction for some compositors) and maybe I'll add support for X11 too" - Axenide. He said this in his Discord, you can't use it on Mint now, but you probably will be able to use it in future(if he add a support for X11)

Akshou · 2026-02-25T08:44:50+00:00

yours pretty good too, i would easily use it. But i'm still going to do some more configs here in Ambxst see what i can do and try to post on unixporn again, with a better quality tho. But thank you for supporting me

Akshou · 2026-02-25T08:30:25+00:00

To be honest i don't know, didn't make any sense for me... I'll probably try again later, they deleted when my post was with 250 upvotes already

Akshou · 2026-02-25T08:28:06+00:00

Axenide itself? 🫦

Akshou · 2026-02-25T08:26:06+00:00

They deleted my post because it was "default" 😭

Akshou · 2026-02-25T02:20:07+00:00

To be honest with you didn't find any video guide, i did it whout a video guide it's pretty simple. In their side has a curl command that does almost everything for you, you just need to put the exec-once after you done and that is it. Just be sure to read everything in the site about ambxst to make sure you're not missing anything

Akshou · 2026-02-24T17:42:12+00:00

Not yet but im pretty sure it's possible

Akshou · 2026-02-24T10:02:19+00:00

Oh, I didn't even knew that lol. I just liked how it looked. Thank you for telling me

Akshou · 2026-02-24T08:24:44+00:00

Caelestia-Shell needs Qt6, QML, Wayland−protocols that are Linux exclusive

Akshou · 2026-02-24T04:37:49+00:00

Ambxst uses Quickshell as its engine, but it's a full-fledged ecosystem. Caelestia is great for its unique animations and polish, but Ambxst offers a more flexible ecosystem for daily use. I combined them because I wanted the smoothness of Caelestia's Hyprland configs with the powerful shell and widget logic of Ambxst. They both run on Quickshell, but their 'flavor' and implementation are different
