# Rofi-2.0.0

## Introduction to Rofi

Rofi provides an application launcher for the X Window System. It can launch applications found in `$PATH`, such as firefox. It can also launch applications from `.desktop` files in `/usr/share/applications`, `~/.local/share/applications`, and other paths, such as `/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop`. This version now supports Wayland.
