Setup Dual DE Arch KDE Plasma 6.2.3 and Hyprland ML4W 2.9.6.5 on bare metal

 First DE supposed to be installed is KDE Plasma 6.2.3, installation follows instructions proposed in thread  https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/2764  due to known issue with pipewire-pulse.service in arch ISO version as of 11/01/2024

# pacman -Sy git

# git clone https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall

# cd archinstall 

# python -m archinstall

Managing this way you come through Piperwire section of archinstall without any trouble.

After reboot we may install Stephan's Raabe Hyprland ML4W 2.9.6.5 Dotfiles straight away via commands

 $ sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git
 $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
 $ cd yay 
 $ makepkg -si
 $ yay -S ml4w-hyprland
 $ ml4w-hyprland-setup
