🌸 NAME 🌸

matchbox-session — the Matchbox session manager, periodt 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

matchbox-session

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, she just goes ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so matchbox-session is a simple X session manager for the Matchbox Project. lowkey humble, highkey doing the most 💅

and what even is Matchbox, you ask? it's a base environment for the X Window System that runs on non-desktop embedded platforms — think handhelds, set-top boxes, kiosks, and literally anything else where screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited 🫶

basically: when your device is tiny and your vibes are huge, Matchbox is the main character 🌈

💜 FILES 💜

• /etc/matchbox/session — the system-wide default Matchbox session script 🗂️ the OG, the blueprint, the "this is how we do it for everybody" file
• ~/.matchbox/session — the per-user Matchbox session script 🎀 your own personal remix, just for you
