A minimal but (hopefully) fully usable archlinux installation with Hyprland as the window manager.

Tested on a laptop with NVIDIA-Intel hybrid graphics, and a Asus Zephyrus with NVIDIA-AMD hybrid graphics, so graphics drivers issues shouldn't be a thing.

• Widgets, applets, notifications, and media controls through ags.
• Lockscreen/sleep through hypridle and hyprlock.
• Wallpapers through hyprpaper.
• rofi-wayland as the launcher/runner.
• Clipboard support by wl-clipboard, cliphist and rofi-wayland.
• Brightness and volume controls through brightnessctl and various PipeWire related packages.
• Smartphone connectivity through kdeconnect.
• Screenshots through hyprshot.
• Integrated/Hybrid GPU mode through envycontrol
• Custom gestures through libinput-gestures

Just cd into the repo and run ./setup/setup.sh , and read the rest of this section if you want to learn what the script does or if you want to set up the homepage.

A list of dependencies, general apps and utilities and some personal favorites can be found on native-packages.txt and external-packages.txt.

Additionally, Zinit, TPM and the AUR package manager yay have been installed through git directly, and are required.

The following services must be explicitly enabled/disabled. Other background tasks are enabled on Hyprland itself or are enabled by default.

sudo systemctl enable ly                   # login
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-persistenced  # Hybrid graphics
sudo systemctl enable pipewire-pulse       # Pulseudio compat.
sudo systemctl enable tlp                  # power saver
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth            # bluetooth

sudo systemctl disable iwd                 # wifi
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager       #

See the NetworkManager arch wiki page

By default, the keyboard layout is set to es_ES on hyprland.conf, you may want to change that.

The user must be part of the input group for the gestures to work.

sudo usermod -aG input $USER

This repo comes with the .homepage submodule, which is a custom browser homepage. Manual setup is required:

First, install a web server, in this case, nginx should be installed if the setup.sh script was used. For nginx, set a new location like so:

server {
    listen       localhost:80;
    server_name  localhost;

    #...

    location / {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/homepage;
        # root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }

    # ...
}

Then, link (or mount it) ~/.homepage to /usr/share/nginx/homepage.

sudo ln -s ~/.homepage /usr/share/nginx/homepage

Finally install the New Tab Override extension and set http://localhost as the new tab custom URL and configure Firefox to use localhost as the homepage and New Tab Override for new tabs.

• Make popup widgets render behind borders
• Make lockscreen widgets interactable (e.g.: Add a suspend button)
• Add shadows to make desktop widgets pop more
  • Shadows on the borders (must not go over windows)
  • Shadows arround popup widgets (must go over windows)

• pop-os for inspiring the keybindings.
• adi1090x/rofi for the config files and colors for rofi.
• catppuccin/tmux for the tmux status bar.
• dreamsofcode-io/dotfiles for the ZSH config file.
• dharmx for his awesome EWW tutorial.
• croyleje/eww-hyprland-workspace for their EWW listeners for Hyprland.
• Gogh-Co/Gogh for their terminal theme installer.
• morhetz/gruvbox for the Gruvbox theme, which serves as a direct inspiration for the UI.
• AzraelIvy Ivy on Pinterest for (as far as I can tell) creating the drawing on the desktop wallpaper.
• u/atlas-ark on r/wallpaper for creating the lock screen wallpaper (here).
• You, for taking the time to read this list and (maybe?) checking out what these people do. Show them some love!
