• If you are getting error 4 related with payload and client.cpp while building waybar-hyprland-git download PKGBUILD and enter this code in build() section: sed -i '10 i #include <stdexcept>\n#include <string>' include/modules/sway/ipc/client.hpp then build (makepkg -si)

Important Notes

• It is recommended to use archinstall with Sway as the desktop environment for the base installation.
• SDDM-GIT is required to avoid shutdown bugs and delays.
• Configure SDDM for autologin (for security, use swaylock at the beginning of the script).
• Replace xdg-desktop-portal-wlr with xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland-git.

Known Issues

• Hyprland is in beta (version 0.2) at the time of creating these configuration files.
• Occasionally, the RX5700XT may go to sleep and require a reload due to a stuck black screen.

Roadmap

• Hotkey for Help Popup
• Wayland guide for nwg-look, wlr-randr, etc.
• Synergy Workaround - Exploring waynergy or KVM usage
• Gamescope Integration - Enhancing compatibility with Steamdeck features
• Additional Customizations for Waybar - Battery, Backlight, etc.
• Automatic Configuration - Long-term goal
