In this video you learn how to style (or rice) Qtile from a basic installation.
Qtile is a tiling window manager based on Python. Qtile is known as extremly customizable.
Good starting points are:
Arch Linux base installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xFnG636o2k
NixOS base installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDxhkSnFSPw
The final result of the Qtile configuration file config.py and the autostart.sh can be found here:

Please note that I cannot cover all changes of the autostart setup in the video.
Also check the Qtile Documentation: https://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/config/hooks.html#autostart

An advanced configuration of Qtile is covered in this video:

Learn how you can use Linux for your work.
Linux is a great Operating System (OS) to support me daily at my business. Linux is stable, fast and you can customize it to individual needs. In this channel, I want to share my setup of Arch Linux and show how I use my system as a daily driver.
My name is Stephan Raabe and I'm a Digital Marketing Professional with more than 20 years of experience in B2B Digital Marketing, computer science and web technologies.
This channel provides tutorials about Linux, the distribution Arch, window managers (e.g. Qtile) and desktop environments, and Microsoft 365 (Office 365) plus other cloud based services that I use in Digital Marketing activities.
