✨ Arch Linux quick Installation:

A guide to install :Youtube Link

Dual Boot Guide :Youtube Link

1.) optional: you can install nvidia-all driver from Frogging Family to replace the nvidia-drivers

• chmod +x nvidia-all-driver and run with nvidia-all-driver

a.) Install yay (chmod +x yay-bin-install and run the script). You can also install paru if desired

a.1) paru-hyprland was created to use paru instead of yay. Paru will be installed automatically if you select yes during the installation. make sure to run (chmod +x paru-hyprland first and run the script)

b.) You can install one by one packages or choose the automatic installer script. (chmod +x install-hyprland and run the script). NOTE. If you install paru instead of yay, ensure to edit install-hyprland and change all yay with paru

c.) If you want to add or edit packages, edit install-hyprland script. Check first if packages are present on AUR or official else the script will fail.

d.) Installation of Asus-ROG-utilities are entirely optional. if you select no, will skip the step.

✨ Manual Installation and Notes:

you can copy, create, change, however, would appreciate if you have have a better solution / changes so we will all improve :)

These configs are used in my Laptop and Desktop. Please note, Only provided are configs. Any Hyprland-related issues to be reported on Hyprland Github

a.) Copy / Move files / folders in your ~/.config

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

d.) If you use thunar as file manager, suggested additions for thunar (thunar-volman, tumbler, gvfs, gvfs-mtp (for accessing phone), Thunar archive plugin-ins) See Arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/thunar

e.) make sure scripts located at /hypr/scripts/ are executable as required. (use chmod +x or right click, properties, change permission to be executable)

f.) Inspect /hypr/configs/exec.conf Choose which polkit gnome to use. to use. (Gentoo have different location of executables. Arch /usr/lib vs Gentoo /usr/libexec) Polkits by default are set to Arch Linux

g.) if you have azerty keyboard this might help

✨ Gentoo Specific notes

Gentoo Specific

1. Hyprland - Link to zugaina have 3 overlays. I am using wayland-desktop overlay. Nvidia and openrc users, you should look into thegreatmcpain overlay. Or of course you can compile hyprland from source
2. Waybar - from Gentoo repo's waybar, I experienced unclickable workspaces. I have installed from useless-overlay. Click here for guidance
3. For screen sharing, I use xdg-desktop-portal-wlr which seems to work. If you are having issues, install xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
4. if you use openrc, ensure to launch hyprland with dbus-run-session Hyprland. Omitting the dbus-run-session may cause runtime errors
5. fonts you need fontawesome and nerd-fonts use (3270 + symbols) (available in overlay) to display some icons in waybar
