Hyprland with Tokyo Night

The nord colour scheme got a bit too grey for me, so I swapped to Toyko Night with a custom darker blue background colour. Modified VS Code, foot, btop, Soundcloud etc

Install Hyprland

Install a base system with no desktop environment, add contrib and non-free and dist-update to sid. (I like to install the ssh-server from tasksel and then remote in to install the rest)

sudo apt install hyprland hyprland-protocols hyprwayland-scanner xwayland waybar fuzzel grim slurp swappy cliphist swayidle swaylock hyprpaper mako-notifier libnotify-bin nwg-look libglib2.0-bin bibata-cursor-theme fonts-noto-color-emoji

Clone the dots

Reboot and run hyprland

Still on this setup 😄 A record on linux.

A couple of reinstall to move partitions around, but straight back to the same dotfiles.
