# ML4W dotfiles 2.7 BETA 2 This is my configuration of Hyprland (Wayland) and Qtile (Xorg & Wayland) for Arch. This package includes an installation script to install and setup the required components.

PLEASE NOTE: This branch is the rolling release of my dotfiles and includes the latest changes. Please be aware that this version is not a tested release. The released dotfiles are tested with Arch Linux, Manjaro Linux, EndeavourOS and Arco Linux. (Arco Linux: Please install hyprland-git run my dotfiles.) You can find the video on YouTube: Dotfiles Configuration and Installation [TOC] # Installation To make it easy for you to get started with my dotfiles, here's a list of recommended next steps. The script will try to create a backup from an previous dotfiles installation. PLEASE BACKUP YOUR EXISTING .config FOLDER WITH YOUR DOTFILES BEFORE STARTING THE SCRIPTS FOR INITIONAL INSTALLTION. PLEASE READ THIS README until the end before starting the installation. Please note: To get the default Linux folder structure incl. Downloads, etc please install the packages xdg-user-dirs and run xdg-user-dirs-update. ## Installation with GIT (Rolling Release of main branch) ``` # 1.)

The symbolic link will not be created because the source folder doesn't exits. You can find a template in .install/templates/hook.sh ## Hyprland & NVIDIA There is no official Hyprland support for Nvidia hardware. However, you might make it work properly following this page. https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/ That's why NVIDIA GPUs are currently not supported by my dotfiles. But in upcoming releases, I will try to setup Hyprland for NVIDIA based on the article above. ## Installation in a KVM virtual machine Qtile X11 works fine in a KVM virtual machine. The Hyprland performance is low but it's enough for testing new features. In virt-manager please make sure that 3D acceleration is enabled in Video Virtio and the Listen type is set to None in Display Spice. To fix the mouse issue on Hyprland, open the Hyprland settings with SUPER + CTRL + S and select in Environments the variation kvm.conf ## Base Hyprland installation with Hyperland Starter If you want to install only the core packages of Hyprland as a starting point for your Hyprland experiments please also try my Hyprland Starter script: https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter # Some important key bindings - SUPER + RETURN: Alacritty - SUPER + CMD + RETURN: rofi application launcher - SUPER + SHIFT + W: Change wallpaper - SUPER + PRINT: Screenshot - SUPER + CMS + Q: Logout screen All keybindings for Hyprland with right mouse click on Apps in waybar or here: https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/hypr/conf/keybindings.conf All keybindings for Qtile: https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/qtile/config.py # Hyprland

With the key binding SUPER + SHIFT + W you can change the wallpaper coming from the folder ~/wallpaper/. SUPER + CTRL + W opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers in ~/wallpaper/ for your individual selection. ## Waybar themes and themeswitcher In addition, you can switch the Waybar Template with SUPER + CTRL + T or by pressing the "..." icon in Waybar with the themeswitcher. The templates are available in ~/dotfiles/waybar/themes. You can add your own personal themes into this folder. More information here: https://gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/main/waybar ## Hyprland settings You can open the settings script with SUPER + CTRL + S to select variations for your hyprland.conf and customize your desktop even more. You can create custom variations by copying a file from the ~/dotfiles/hypr/conf subfolders like monitor/default.conf, give the file a custom name (e.g., mymonitor.conf) and select the variation in the settings script in the corresponding section. You can also edit the file custom.conf which is included at the bottom of the hyprland.conf and can hold you personal configurations. You can also edit the file directly in the settings script in the section Custom. ## Screensharing and recording In case you have issues with starting Waybar please make sure that only one xdg-desktop-portal-x is installed additionally to xdg-desktop-portal. I had several issues with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr on Hyprland and Waybar. Please make sure that xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is uninstalled and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland is installed.
