📥 Installation

1. Boot into Arch with internet (TTY)

This script is intended for a fresh Arch Linux minimal install.

2. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/zaeemali272/Hyprland-dots.git                 
cd Hyprland-dots

3. Run the installer

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Alternate method

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zaeemali272/Hyprland-dots/main/Install.sh)

The script is idempotent — safe to re-run, will back up existing configs unless --force is used.

⚡ Installer Flags

You can control behavior with flags:

Flag	Description
--extras	Install optional extra utilities (gparted, htop, ncdu, etc.)
--gaming	Install gaming stack (Steam, Lutris, Wine, Gamemode, MangoHud)
--dry-run	Show what would change (no writes)
--force	Overwrite existing files without backup (dangerous)
--no-overwrite	Skip overwriting existing files
--skip-aur	Skip AUR bootstrap & packages
--no-icons	Skip OneUI icon theme installation
--enable-user-services	Enable user services (Ironbar, etc.)
-y or --non-interactive	Run without prompts (default yes to optional steps)

🎮 Gaming Setup (Optional)

When prompted, you can install the gaming stack:

• Lutris
• Wine + Winetricks
• Gamemode
• Steam (if you add it to PACMAN_PKGS)
• Game-related optimizations

If you say no, the related scripts/services are removed so your environment stays clean.

🔐 Autologin

The script can optionally set up autologin on tty1 with:

/etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf

It then starts Hyprland automatically via config.fish.

✅ Final Checks

Before finishing, the script runs:

• rfkill list → warns if Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are blocked.
• Ensures services are reloaded.
• Prints reboot recommendation.

🚀 After Installation

• Log in → you’ll land directly in Hyprland.
• Wallpapers managed with swww.
• Notifications via Mako.
• Status bar = Ironbar.
• Menus/launcher = Fuzzel.
• Audio stack = PipeWire + EasyEffects.
