Auto Arch and Hyperland Script Update

Introduction

I updated my Auto Arch and Hyprland scripts to make installing Arch less annoying. I thought about merging them into one giant script, but decided to keep them separate. Now, the auto-arch script just automatically clones my hyprland dotfiles into your home directory at the end, so you get the OS and the rice in one go.

Changes in auto-arch

• Instead of 3 scripts for install, chroot, postinstall, I have combined them as one script. The script now

  • Formats partitions
  • Mounts partitions
  • Installs packages
  • Chroots into system and does post installation configurations
  • grub installation etc

• In the end it clones hyprland-dotfiles repository in the $HOME directory of the user which can be used after robooting the system.

Changes in hyprland-dotfiles

• changes in waybar config and styling (removed redundant code)
• moved rofi -> wofi
• some script imporvements

This is what the setup looks like now

What the installation looks like now

This is the typical workflow if you want to install arch linux with my version of hyprland

• Step 1:

git clone https://github.com/saqibmir1/auto-arch.git
bash auto-arch/arch-install.sh

Step 2:

reboot

Step 3: Login as user and run the install-hyprland script to install hyprland and deploy my dotfiles.
