Notes: Other distributions don't get a separate page on the Arch wiki. This page should be dedicated strictly to the desktop shell component. (Discuss in Talk:Papyros shell#)

Papyros is a desktop environment based on Google's Material Design guidelines, created in 2014.

Warning: The desktop shell and material design framework are still in active development and are in a pre-alpha state.
