+# What is this
+
+These are my dotfiles. Not all of them, just the ones that have to do with my Linux desktop.
+But then, probably not all of them.
+
+If this confuses you, then that's because it _is_ confusing. My dotfiles are a mess.
+I might organize them better at some point, but not now.
+
+**If you want to learn something, your best bet is to stay far, far away from my dotfile repositories.**
+
+In here, you'll find an absolutely unnecessarily complex XMonad setup, and a bunch of other stuff.
+
+If you're still reading this, then you are either very stubborn, or very interested in looking at
+a piece of my setup. In that case... good luck.
