+    Kanshi uses a configuration file and a list of available displays to choose 
+    the right settings for each display. It's useful if your window manager 
+    doesn't support multiple display configurations (e.g. i3/Sway).
+    
+    For now, it only supports:
+    - sysfs as backend
+    - udev as notifier (optional)
+    - Configuration file
+      - GNOME (~/.config/monitors.xml)
+      - Kanshi (see below)
