The convenience of AUR makes it hard for me to quit ArchLinux, really, once you’ve used it, you’ll know. With Wayland maturing, Hyprland’s logic and animations are quite appealing. Since I have some time now, let’s get started.

Installing ArchLinux

For those who like to do it themselves, you can refer to the official wiki or check out this guide:

Of course, I’m lazy, so I’ll use a script (I can’t live without archinstall).

Structure
Github

There’s a GitHub theme with over a thousand stars, and it comes with an installation script, so of course I cloned it and used it directly.

pacman -Sy git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots ~/Hyprdots
cd ~/Hyprdots/Scripts
./install.sh

sddm High DPI Screen Adaptation

Check monitor information

xrandr --listmonitors

Set the screen resolution after scaling

sudo vim /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup

Add

Localization

Install Chinese fonts

yay -S ttf-pingfang-git ttf-apple-emoji

Install RIME input method

sudo pacman -S fcitx5-im fcitx5-chinese-addons  fcitx5-rime

Customize the theme

git clone https://github.com/thep0y/fcitx5-themes.git

Regenerate the GRUB configuration file

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Summary
The combination of tiling and Bézier curves creates an elegant visual experience, a kind of delight that can only be felt subjectively. I picked a theme I liked and used it directly. The beauty of Hyprland lies in its high customizability—refer to the wiki, and you can craft whatever you want.
