In this video I will walk you through the latest version of the 👉 ML4W Dotfiles 2.9.2 for Arch based distributions. The ML4W Dotfiles are an advanced configuration and full desktop environment based on the dynamic tiling window manager Hyprland. The installation is beginner friendly and will guide you through all required steps to install Hyprland and required packages. The ML4W Dotfiles includes apps and tools to make Hyprland customization as easy as possible without coding or using the terminal.
Download and install/update the ML4W Dotfiles here:

Thanks for your work! I decided to move from KDE to something more convenient and came across your video. I installed the rolling release and I want to note two facts: after the update, the waybar colors do not switch on the fly when changing wallpapers, as was the case in the previous update. You have to manually re-enable the waybar theme color. Also, when installing the SSDM theme, you need to add two packages for it to work correctly, these are qt5graphicaleffects and qt5quickcontrols2.

@mylinuxforwork 2 күн бұрын

Thanks for your feedback. I have switched the Waybar theme to "blur white". You can switch to pywal colored theme "light". There was a bug in the sddm installation script. Is fixed now in rolling release. Will be launched later today to main.

a suggestion: not sure if you have considered that it generates the color schemes/effects automatically for any picture that is added to the wallpaper folders in the background on install, or at launch, so they are already available in the cache when you choose it from the wallpaper app. I'm still working my way through your configs because I want to first understand a little bit of everything before fully applying someone elses dot files, but this work is amazing! I only have a little time to tweak and play around and your videos and files have helped me a lot, thank you!

You should make an option in your install script that allows you to choose what dotfiles you want . . . I don't want to screw with my nvim settings.

I can tell from your repository you have put a lot of work into this and it is appreciated . . . it would be such a simple addition to the install script.

@@mylinuxforwork I really like what you are doing with this project. I have already shared it on a few groups . . . spreading the word. So, I am telling you this to be helfpful. just remember . . . people who use arch are uptight nitpickers who like to have control of what we put on our systems. We may all put firefox on your system, but we want to put it there . . . we dont' want it forced on us. For how we feel about packages goes 100 fold for our config files . . . for people who aren't uptight about backing up their config files . . . one momentary lapse of attention could wipe out a substantial time commitment of customization, particularly in meovim. P.S. It may be just me . . . but the "sugar-candy" for sddm . . . is acting problematic. It fails when cloning into the .cache/. . . directory. Might want to look into it.

These Linux boys... To be so fixated on desktop wallpapers, you must be truly sick and out of your mind... A window manager/desktop environment should do its job: allow interaction with the OS, manage windows (including files and folders), offer a convenient way to access applications, system settings, notifications, and ensure a consistent look and behavior of programs. I often come across KZfaq videos about some distribution and its DE, where the reviewer spends half of the video fixated on the wallpapers. There's something wrong with this world.
