Hyprland + Arch dotfiles

Everything you/I need to know about my EndeavourOS + Hyprland setup.

Currently still in progress, please star this for later [I'll be done by end-March, have exams to tackle]

WARNINGS/DEPENDENCIES:

• qt5ct, qt6-wayland, qt5-wayland
• I have udiskie & and lxpolkit & in startup, under # Startup Apps in hyprland.conf. lxpolkit is for authentication so that my file manager can get authorization for mounting my external HDD. (Install lxsession if you want /usr/bin/lxpolkit, as lxpolkit is not a package as such.) Please remove this line if you want.
• This doesn't work for any pulseaudio-related packages, I've completely switched to pipewire and wireplumber (wpctl)
• playerctl for media controls
• Currently, yay custom build directory does not work, so manually add it in ~/.config/yay/config.json see this: Jguer/yay#1612

Useful stuff

• For viewing removable drives with file managers, install gvfs

• Install lxappearance for GTK/icon configuration, TIP: Widget style means gtk theme.

• For GTK3/4 set environment variable GTK_THEME=theme_name and GTK2 use GTK_RC_FILES

• Setup udiskie: https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/wiki/Usage -lxpolkit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit#Authentication_agents
