## Use Cases

picom can be used to:

You should not use picom if:

- Your window manager or desktop environment already has a compositor
- You are not using X11

meta: Revert recent dotfile removals Although removing these dotfiles gave the repository a clean feeling, it made it significantly harder to resume using a certain window manager or other tool at any time. Instead of removing dotfiles entirely, it's enough to simply not install the programs you don't want to use, or even install them but not open them. 2023-03-19 22:56:56 +01:00			`# picom`
