ML4W dotfiles 2.6RC
This is my configuration of Hyprland (Wayland) and Qtile (Xorg & Wayland). 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 fully tested release.
The released dotfiles are tested with Arch Linux, Manjaro Linux, EndeavourOS and Arco Linux.
You can find the video on YouTube: Dotfiles Configuration and Installation
Installation
To make it easy for you to get started with my dotfiles, here's a list of recommended next steps.
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR EXISTING .config FOLDER WITH YOUR DOTFILES BEFORE STARTING THE SCRIPTS FOR INITIONAL INSTALLTION.
The script will try to create a backup from an previous dotfiles installation.
PLEASE READ THIS README until the end before starting the installation.

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.

Templating & Settings
Hyprland & Qtile: Included is a pywal configuration that changes the color scheme based on a randomly selected wallpaper. With the key binding SuperKey + Shift + W you can change the wallpaper. SuperKey + Ctrl + W opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers for your individual selection. See also the .bashrc and the key bindings on Hyprland and Qtile for more alias definitions.
Hyprland: In addition, you can switch the Waybar Template with SUPER + CTRL + T or by pressing the "..." icon in Waybar. The templates are available in ~/dotfiles/waybar/themes. You can add your own personal themes into this folder. The script will read in the folder structure. You can open the settings script with SUPER + CMD + S to select variations for your hyprland.conf and customize your desktop even more.

Please note
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.
