new arch problem (yeah im tired of this too)

[analog bramble]

Vim or nano /etc/hyprland.conf

And for hyprland wallpaper u just have to configure

wpaperd

For the wallpapers

Hyprland is a Wayland wm so it uses Wayland features @signal hazel

[signal hazel]

uhh i think im kinda dumb

[woven falcon]

you can also use xdg-open on any file to open it with the default GUI app.

[analog bramble]

sudo pacman -S vim

Then

sudo vim /etc/hyprland.conf

@woven falcon feel free to take over I trust u lol

[woven falcon]

I suggest you create a shell alias: alias open="xdg-open 2>/dev/null"

this will make opening files easier, if you're not comfortable with the terminal

[woven falcon]

you might need sudo permissions to do this

[signal hazel]

im in

but uhhh tf is this

[woven falcon]

seems like the config file doesn't exist yet

[signal hazel]

how??

[woven falcon]

there might be a way to create a default config

try vim ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

example config:
https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/example/hyprland.conf

docs for reference:
https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Configuring-Hyprland/

wallpapers:
https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Wallpapers/

[woven falcon]

that's the config !

[signal hazel]

ima see how i can edit it

[woven falcon]

Look at the links I sent for reference

[signal hazel]

oh ok

[woven falcon]

You can ping me if you have more questions

I have never used hyprland before though

[signal hazel]

dunno why i cant type anything

[woven falcon]

in vim?

[analog bramble]

Use the following

:q!

Then repeat the commands used to access it starting with

sudo

[woven falcon]

Vim requires some learning

[analog bramble]

Ur a standard user rn basically u have a cat outlook no editing

[woven falcon]

You could use nano instead, which is a lot easier to use

[analog bramble]

When u Access the file @signal hazel immediately hit the 'i' key to insert

[analog bramble]

[signal hazel]

isnt that hard to close

i seen some dude have it on for 200 days 💀

[woven falcon]

ah dang, we could have gotten the classic: "how do I exit vim?" :p

[analog bramble]

:wq! Closed

[signal hazel]

YIPPEE

[woven falcon]

:w write
:w! force write
:q quit
:q! force quit
:wq write quit
:wq! force write quit

/ search [standard mode]

[analog bramble]

Mention esc

[woven falcon]

oh right, escape to return to standard mode

basically, in vim you have different modes

• standard mode (navigation mode)
• insert mode
• visual mode (select mode)
  ...?

maybe something else

[signal hazel]

dunno how to save the config

im scared ill have to do it all over again

[woven falcon]

:w

[signal hazel]

oh ok

[signal hazel]

new arch problem (yeah im tired of this too)

[signal hazel]

back in the small questions thing

with another problem that i dont even know how to fix 🔥

i need to install yay

to install pamac

to install discord

[wraith sphinx]

so does yay not install or something?

[signal hazel]

nope

this condition thing gets in the way

im looking up stuff barely talked about to try and fix this

[wraith sphinx]

i've used arch twice and both were very short

if it was just as easy as installing x package i could probably help but something seems broken in this case

[severe goblet]

@signal hazel you don't need pacman to install discord

@wraith sphinx it is

just sudo pacman -S discord

[signal hazel]

oh 💀

[severe goblet]

you don't need pamac

Alternatively, Discord is available as a Flatpak

[wraith sphinx]

pamac is like a gui thing for the aur right?

[severe goblet]

yes

it's not recommended

@signal hazel please read the wiki for more help installing packages https://wiki.archlinux.org

[signal hazel]

okii

[analog bramble]

Pacseek requires yay, along with 99% of his examples. Just fyi

[severe goblet]

Please don't get pamac
Just use paru and pacman
Want a GUI? Use gnome software

[severe goblet]

Not recommended due to what it has done to the AUR

Also octopi is useful

I just use discover and paru

[wraith sphinx]

ill try an remember

[signal hazel]

ok

thank you for d help

got discord and other stuff

[severe goblet]

I just run web discord
