AwesomeWM tutorial?

[DevMSri]

Hi, I am new to awesome and have just moved from hyprland, being a semi-noob at Linux, I was wondering if there are any up-to-date tutorials or documents which walk through how to rice awesome and how to customize it effectively. Thank you!

The problem here is that everybody's definition of "rice awesome" is different. What I personally suggest is to get the development version (git version) and use the development documentation. It has examples for most things. After the "my first awesome" actionless linked above, read The widget system. This will give you a good idea of the jargon and what different things are called. After that, you can look at their own doc pages and see the examples. For example, here's the wallpaper.

If you find something that is unclear, please comment on #1373 with what you would like to be clarified.

Keep in mind that the documentation is similar to Javadoc/Doxygen rather than something like Python documentation. By that, I mean it is a structured documentation rather than freestyle/wall_of_text one. It explains in detail how everything behave and what options the API has rather than give endless examples of how to achieve random things.
