-# aarch64DWM
+# aarch64dwm
+
+aarch64dwm is a customized clone of [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/), specifically tailored for **AArch64 (ARM64) devices**, including the **Raspberry Pi** and compatible operating systems. It retains all the core functionality of the original dwm but includes minor adaptations for better compatibility on ARM-based hardware.
+
+## Features
+- Lightweight and minimal tiling window manager
+- Optimized for **AArch64** architecture
+- Compatible with **Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)** and other ARM64-based Linux distributions
+- Custom additions for improved hardware compatibility
+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed:
+```sh
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y xorg libx11-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev
+```
+
+### Cloning and Compiling
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/your-repo/aarch64dwm.git
+cd aarch64dwm
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+### Running aarch64dwm
+To start **aarch64dwm**, add the following line to your `.xinitrc`:
+```sh
+exec dwm
+```
+Then, start X:
+```sh
+startx
+```
+
+## Configuration
+Like the original **dwm**, customization is done via modifying `config.h` and recompiling:
+```sh
+vim config.h  # Make necessary changes
+make && sudo make install
+```
+
+## Keybindings
+(Default dwm keybindings apply)
+- `Mod + Shift + Enter` – Open terminal
+- `Mod + p` – dmenu (application launcher)
+- `Mod + Shift + c` – Close window
+- `Mod + 1-9` – Switch between workspaces
+- `Mod + Shift + q` – Quit X session
+
+## Notes
+- aarch64dwm does **not** introduce significant changes to the original **dwm**.
+- This version is mainly for ensuring smoother operation on **Raspberry Pi OS** and similar ARM64 distributions.
+- Consider using a **lightweight status bar** like `slstatus` for system information.
