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 systemd-zram-setup@zramN.service 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.

Git help

• github-cli(gh)
• git clone
• gh auth login
• git add (files)
• git rm -r (files) && git mv && git cp
• git commit -a -m 'Minor change in vimrc'
• git push
• git pull

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=va_gl
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
