MIAOU-BASH is a mix of scripts and settings aiming for leveraging your terminal experience. As the name suggests, it is based on Bash and expect to work on most of any modern GNU/Linux. However, at this stage, the installation process only supports 2 distribution families:

Debian Like : Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, ...
Arch Like : ArchLinux, Manjaro, ...

Be aware MIAOU-BASH (uppercase) refers to the whole package itself. Meanwhile miaou-bash (downcase) refers to the only one, yet useful, utility script. To fulfill maximum expectations, we do recommend installing the Ghostty terminal app.
