✨ Arch Linux quick Installation:

• A guide to install using the install script:Youtube Link
• a.) You can install one by one packages above or choose the automatic installer script.
• b.) If you want to add or edit packages, edit install-hyprland script. Ensure packages are present on AUR or official else the script will fail.
• c.) Installation of Asus-ROG-utilities are entirely optional. This is only for Asus Laptop. if you select no, will skip the step.
• d.) Thunar and necessary plugins are entirely optional

✨ If upgrading from Hyprland-v2,

• easy way, ran script, script will create back-up of your files and folders (which needed for the config-dots) so you can easily copy over.
• long way, copy the scripts in config/hypr/scripts and copy to your ~/.config/hypr/scripts . Make sure to make them executable after copied. By running chmod +x filename..
• copy the waybar folder in config/hypr/waybar to your ~/.config/hypr/waybar
• copy the wallpapers to your ~/Pictures . Some scripts are checking those folder. If not, modify the scripts changeWallpaper, dark-light-mode, wallpaper-switcher in your ~/.config/hypr/scripts to your actual wallpapers.

✨ Some notes regarding using the install script:

• clone this repo by using git. Change directory, make executable and run the script >cd Hyprland-v2.1 chmod +× install-Hyprland-2.1 ./install-Hyprland-2.1
• Optional stuff you can do using the script includes choices of the following:
• a.) you can choose either yay or paru (if they are not installed)

✨ NVIDIA-Hyprland notes:

• kindly note, on configs I added all the nvidia variables from Hyprland wiki Link but by default they are not enabled. I've had issues like OBS not recording, or intermittent crashing etc, on my laptop. Check the ~/.config/hypr/configs/exec.conf and uncomment one by one to try. You can read through Hyprland-Wiki for some guidance.

✨ Manual Installation and Notes:

you can copy, create, change, however, would appreciate to submit like a pull request or issues if you have a better solution / changes so we will all improve :)

###Please note, Only provided are configs. Any Hyprland-related issues to be reported on Hyprland Github

• a.) Copy / Move files / folders in your ~/.config
• a.1) by default, no kb_layout set up in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf . It wilp be set during script install. If you manually copy, ensure to put a value ie, us
• b.) Copy wallpapers to your ~/Pictures/ or you need to edit the scripts. See above (upgrading from Hyprland-v2) notes.
• c.) kb_layout is not defined in hyprland.conf as it is part of the script. If you manually copy, ensure to add kb_layout
• d.) if you have azerty keyboard this might help

✨ known-issues:

• fractional scaling breaks swww
• cant get cava module to work on waybar
• weather data sometimes does not give data. This is because module is not receiving data from weather server. Deleting the rbn folder in your ~/.cache sometimes help
• script works only with gtx 1000 and rtx cards. older gen nvidia gpu's are npt supported by nvidia-dkms (it seems). Edit the scripts to not install nvidia drivers.
