Before you install

• Stock Ubuntu 26.04 ships without X11 — use Xubuntu, or `sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop`.
• The shell needs Quickshell ≥ 0.2 (0.3.x tested). Debian 13+ usually gets it from apt; on older Debian or Devuan without that, build from source. Build from source →
• Prefer a clone or manual steps? See the install docs.
