Go to another wm/de and install kitty

And don't use the pre-gen configuration

#

1 - Do Ctrl + Alt + F2 (or f2 .. f9) to get into a tty
2 - Install a terminal ( if you don't have one i recommend alacritty)
3 - edit the hyprland config to load that terminal

In my config i have bind = $mainMod, Return, exec, alacritty

Message above yours

Ctrl + alt + f3

It's your terminal

Log into your user

And it's in ~/.config/hypr

#

Kinda

~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

#

Is it new?

Bro you are checking in wrong dir.

#

It's ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

#

Delete other portals.

#

pacman -Q | grep "xdg"

#

Except hyprland portal remove everything

proven sluice
#

/etc/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

dusk raft
#

~/ is your home directory

#

Open a text editor in the directory

#

Show me

#

Now ~ you can read the docs and customize hyprland for your liking

#

Are you still seeing this error?

proven sluice
#

If you want to learn.
It's better start from scratch without using someone's dotfiles.
It's good read their dotfiles, you will know what you are doing.

#

If you just want to use it as ready made or less efforts, you dotfiles which provide script.
I won't recommend this tho 😊
