Hyprland dotfiles and such (WIP) ... endlessly... probably 😜

My dot files

This is all done over Fedora Workstation 40 (now 42). So Gnome is used to set everything and is kept installed in case of "rare" (😅) breaking change on Hyprland side.

hyprland-dotfiles.mp4

To "magically" restore the configuration files, GNU stow is needed.

If it is already installed, a simulation/dry-run can be useful since if some filse of folders already exist they won't be replace/updated.

cd ~/Dowloads
git clone https://github.com/zumnebel/dotfiles
cd dotfiles
stow -n -v 2 --dotfiles -t ~/

Enabling the COPRs

Unfortunately, not all packages are available, or updates are reasonably quick enough in the Fedora Repos, so some COPRs are needed.

doas dnf copr enable pgdev/ghostty -y

doas dnf copr enable peterwu/iosevka -y

doas dnf copr enable solopasha/hyprland -y

doas dnf copr enable tofik/nwg-shell -y

doas dnf copr enable atim/starship -y

For some wild reason, DNF doesn't accept (or wasn't at the time) to install the hyprland and hyprland-plugins packages, or individual hyprland plugins, on the same installation command line.

doas dnf install hyprland -y

doas dnf install hyprland-plugin-hyprbars -y

Installing the rest

To use PPM with Satty gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra is needed. It can be installed directly your with the vips package

doas dnf -y install stow hyprlock hypridle hyprpaper hyprlock hyprshot hyprdim hyprsunset cliphist waybar waypaper blueman network-manager-applet xwaylandvideobridge udiskie mpv feh zoxide jq qt6ct qt5ct qt6-qtwayland qt5-qtwayland copyq lsd ImageMagick GraphicsMagick swww wlogout wl-paste wl-clipboard wl-copy nwg-clipman nwg-shell-config nwg-drawer python-psutil fd brightnessctl btrbk micro restic bat cosmic-term starship swaync cargo satty vips uwsm breeze-gtk plasma-breeze

Installing Atuin.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh
sed '3i \    atuin init fish | source' ~/.config/fish/config.fish
printf 'eval "$(atuin init bash)"' | tee -a ~/.bashrc

Installing fonts. Inter, Iosevka and JetbrainMono can be installed from Fedora repos, or manually for a more recent version.

doas dnf -y copr enable peterwu/iosevka
doas dnf -y install rsms-inter{,-vf}-fonts jetbrains-mono-fonts-all iosevka-etoile-fonts

Or manuall for a more updated version if needed.

i_version="4.1"
cd ~/Dowloads/

curl -sL# https://github.com/rsms/inter/releases/download/v${i_version}/Inter-${i_version}.zip --output Inter-${i_version}.zip
curl -sL# https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.3.0/NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip --output NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip

unzip -d Inter Inter-${i_version}.zip
unzip -d NerdFontsSymbols NerdFontsSymbolsOnly.zip

doas mkdir -v /usr/share/fonts/Inter
doas mkdir -v /usr/share/fonts/NerdFontsSymbols

doas cp -v Inter/Inter*.tt* /usr/share/fonts/Inter/
doas cp -v NerdFontsSymbols/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/NerdFontsSymbols/

doas fc-cache --verbose --force

nwg-drawer can be built manually since it is not always up-to-date in the COPR (at moment at least) in the COPR. So:

Clone the repos first

cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-drawer

Install uwsm depedencies and runtime depedencies to be sure and then build it

doas dnf install meson cmake scdoc dmenu python3-pyxdg python3-dbus -y
cd uwsm
meson setup --prefix=/usr/local -Duuctl=enabled -Dfumon=enabled -Duwsm-app=enabled build
meson install -C build

As nwg-drawer takes much longer to compile, we do it last.

doas dnf install gtk3-devel gtk4-devel gobject-introspection-devel gtk-layer-shell-devel
cd ../nwg-drawer
make get; make build; doas make install
