This repository stores the user configuration files of my Hyprland desktop. Everyone can clone and use it. However, I highly suggest you TAKE THESE CONFIGURATION FILES AS A REFERENCE ONLY because they may contain something related to my computer so they may not work well if you simply clone the whole repository into your own computer. Also, I suggest you install the packages and softwares before using my configuration files.

Before using these configuration files, you should install a pure linux system first. Generally, any linux distribution is okay, but I recommend Arch Linux because it doesn't contain any additional packages.
If you decide to install Arch, you can use archinstall and select the minimal preset, or manually install it with pacstrap.
Installing Hyprland is quite easy. For Arch users, simply run the following command line and Hyprland will be installed.
sudo pacman -S hyprlandAfter installing it successfully, simply run Hyprland in a tty and you will see the Hyprland desktop.
NOTE: If you have already installed other desktop environments (or window managers), I suppose a login manager like sddm has also been installed. In such case, you can enter Hyprland by selecting Hyprland in sddm.
The essential softwares include sddm (a login manager), zsh, kitty (a terminal emulator), waybar (a status bar written in C), rofi (an application launcher), dunst (notification daemon), polkit kde agent (an authentication agent), pipewire (including pipewire-audio), qt5-wayland, qt6-wayland. If you lack any of them, just install it.
Then, you can copy the corresponding config folders into ~/.config/*
I use JetBrainsMono Nerd Font in kitty and neovim and it works well. You can use other fonts, but some icons might not be rendered correctly.
If you reach this step, you are near to success, but before champagning, I suggest taking a snapshot and you can continue configuring other softwares & utilities more freely.
