Minimal Hyprland Install Script

By

Shell Ninja

This Hyprland configuration is kind of minila looking, but also little bit gorgeous I guess. Why don't you check it out?

[ WARNING ]

Please note that this script if fully ready now. But for openSUSE, there is a little issue in installing Hypridle && xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland because a little dependency is missing in the repo of this OS. After it's being added, then the script for openSUSE will be totally ready.

[ NOTE ]

The dotfile used in this script is a rolling release config. I fix issues and add features very often. Just to update in the latest commits, you have to use SUPER Shift U keybind. It will update to the latest hyprconf configuration and restore the cache.

I would like to thank JaKooLit. I was inspired from his Hyprland installation scripts and prepared my script. I took and modified some of his scripts and used here.
