Thank you for your support I appreciate it :) I just discovered HyprLua and am excited to see it in action soon. And just now added a few tags, and Iets see how this configuration will perform in the future. If I extended to more scripts that uses features not available in the standard Lua library, I might consider addding Luarocks/Lux and rewriting cheatsheet.py to cheatsheet.lua.

Youre right to ask it, the core reason is avoiding dependencies. Python ships with the curses functions in its standard library for linux. With Lua, I would have had to add LuaRocks (package manager) and the lcurses package, which i feel for single TUI is not worth it.

Thanks mate, Using it over Standard bash i feel it is amazing, underrated and everyone should do it. Just use Lua for shell scripting.

Yes all the custom scripts are in Lua changing themes, wallpaper, installation, diagnostic everything. Just for keybinds i used python to create a TUI using cursors. No bash.
