Update user directories

xdg-user-dirs-update

Making Some directories

mkdir -p ~/Pictures/Screenshots/
mkdir .config/zsh

Copy Config files

    cp -R config/* ~/.config/
    cp -R .icons ~/
    cp -R .themes ~/
    cp -R Wallpapers ~/Pictures/
    cp -R fonts ~/.local/share/
    mkdir .config/zsh

fc-cache -fv

Set some files as executables

chmod +x ~/.config/hypr/scripts/*
chmod +x ~/.config/waybar/scripts/*

Enable zram (Ignore if archinstall script is used)

sudo pacman -S zram-generator
touch /etc/systemd/zram-generator.config
  • copy config from zram Archwiki
  • Run daemon-reload, then start your configured [email protected] instance(s).
  • Check zram swap staus
zramctl

Reboot

reboot

On First Boot

  • On first boot open nwg-look and set theme,cursor,and font.
  • Use waypaper to set wall paper
  • You only need to do this Once

Optional

The documentaion to set sddm is available in sddm folder

  • Best of luck

Note

  • SUPER+backspace brings up keybinds
  • super+return(enter) brings up terminal(alacritty)
  • Incase hyprland fails ctrl+alt+F6(any function keys) to open tty
  • Change window resolution in hyprland.conf
  • To change the themes of qt apps there is a kvantum theme in justincase directory use it.

Important Things to remember(ONLY FOR ME-PERSONAL)

  • Get fastest mirrors with
reflector --sort rate --protocol http,https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
  • themes.css in waybar config is soft linked to the desired theme in the themes folder(example:ln -s (or -sf)mocha.css themes.css)
  • set default file manger $xdg-mime default thunar.desktop inode/directory
  • bash completion
  • zsh and plugins(starship)
  • all noto fonts
 sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq noto-fonts) --needed
  • groups wheel
  • ntp
  • network manger
  • make threds -j$(nproc)
  • fstrim.timer
  • swapfile(refer to wiki)
  • auto-cpufreq
  • Check pipewire
pactl info
  • Check xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland(obs)
  • Maybe setup bluetooth,powertop,wine and lutris.
  • check for amdgpu kernal driver instead of radeon
lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D|Display)"
  • For my amd graphics driver if amdgpu kernal driver is not used set the following kernal parameters(/etc/default/grub)
radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1
radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1
  • If discrete gpu is not properly working,then set the following kernal parameter(this will prevent the dGPU from being powered down dynamically at runtime. )
amdgpu.runpm=0
  • If you want to enable the new Dynamic Power Management and Display Code experimental support, you need to also add the following lines(could tottaly be unnecessary,so only enable if needed).
amdgpu.dc=1
amdgpu.dpm=1

-Then update grub

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  • For my amd,if needed for vdapuinfo(hardware accel),set env variables in /etc/profile
export VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi
  • loginmanager-sddm
pacman -Syu sddm qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-svg qt5-quickcontrols2
sudo cp -r sddm/corners /usr/share/sddm/themes/
sudo cp sddm/genograche.face.icon /usr/share/sddm/faces/
  • change sddm configuration in in /etc/sddm.conf.d/sddm.conf(on arch default config is available in /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf)
[Theme]
Current=corners
  • If games in wine doesn't have sound get
winetricks faudio
winetricks xact_x64
