 # Personal Linux Desktop Setup
 
-This repository contains an Ansible playbook to bootstrap workstations with my custom Hyprland-based desktop environment and commonly used applications. It's similar to a dotfiles repository but with extended functionality.

 ## Customization
 
@@ -25,28 +25,29 @@ The playbook generates configuration files based on the host-specific variables
 
 To add a new host, include its hostname in the inventory and create a corresponding `host_vars` file. Refer to the existing configurations for examples.
 
+Even if the host-specific configuration is missing, the playbook will bring up a functional system using sensible defaults. This makes it possible to provision new systems without needing to know details like monitor descriptions for Hyprland in advance.

 ## Usage
 
-This playbook is designed to be run on Debian `testing/sid` with only the "default tools" option selected during installation.
+This playbook is intended to be run on Debian `unstable`, with only the `standard system utilities` option selected in `tasksel` during installation. Usage on other versions of Debian likely won't work, as Hyprland requires relatively recent versions of its dependencies to build.
