Gotchas

  • Recommend archinstall with Sway as desktop for base
  • SDDM-GIT is required or you will run into shutdown bugs and delays
  • SDDM needs to be configured for autologin (recommend using swaylock on start of script for security)
  • Replace xdg-desktop-portal-wlr with xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git

Bugs

  • Hyprland is still in beta (0.2) as of the creation of these dot files
  • Sometimes my RX5700XT goes to sleep and requires a reload, because it is stuck on black screen.

Work In Progress

  • Help Popup with Hotkey
  • Wayland guide for nwg-look, wlr-randr, etc.
  • Synergy Workaround…
