Installation

The installation script is made for Arch, but may work on some Arch based distros with systemd. For Debian, please refer Senshi111's version here. Checkout KSK's video for full installation walkthrough.
Tested on:

• EndeavourOS
• Arco Linux
• Arch using ALCI - Arch Linux Calamares Installer

Important

Install script will auto-detect nvidia card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel. So please ensure that your Nvidia card supports dkms drivers and hyprland.

[!CAUTION] The script modifies your grub config to enable Nvidia drm and theme

After minimal Arch install (with grub and systemd), clone and execute -

sudo pacman -Sy git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/devckvargas/hyprdots ~/Hyprdots
cd ~/Hyprdots/Scripts

Tip

Add apps you want to install (replace nvim with your own editor e.g. nano, vim, code, kate, etc..)

nvim ~/Hyprdots/Scripts/custom_apps.lst

Pass the file as a parameter to install it -

./install.sh custom_apps.lst

Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to sddm login screen (or black screen) for the first time. For more details, please refer installation wiki

Known Issues

• Few scaling issues with rofi configs, as they are created based on prasanthrangan's ultrawide (21:9) display.
• Random lockscreen crash, refer swaywm/sway#7046
• Waybar launching rofi breaks mouse input (added sleep 0.1 as workaround), refer Alexays/Waybar#1850
• Flatpak QT apps does not follow system theme
