Linkbut 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.
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 :)

b.) Put wallpapers in your ~/Pictures/
c.) if you want in Arch, make sure to comment / uncomment some items in /hypr/configs/exec.conf - location of polkit is different than gentoo, By default, all configs are set to work with Arch Linux
