Setup Hyprland via Hyprland Starter and Dotfiles Installer (Stephan Raabe) on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Our goal is to reproduce on Tumbleweed Switching Wallpapers With Hyprpaper in Hyprland with ML4W Dotfiles on Fedora 42
The first step on Tumbleweed is supposed to be adding the X11:Wayland repository
1. To install "hyprctl" on Tumbleweed proceed as follows
[boris@localhost ~]$ sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:Wayland/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/X11:Wayland.repo
[sudo] password for boris:
Adding repository 'Wayland Project (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)' .................................................................................[done]
Repository 'Wayland Project (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)' successfully added
URI : https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Wayland/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/
Enabled : Yes
GPG Check : Yes
Autorefresh : No
Priority : 99 (default priority)
Repository priorities are without effect. All enabled repositories share the same priority.
[boris@localhost ~]$ sudo zypper refresh
Repository 'https://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/' is up to date.
Repository 'update-tumbleweed' is up to date.
Looking for gpg keys in repository Wayland Project (openSUSE_Tumbleweed).
gpgkey=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Wayland/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/repodata/repomd.xml.key
New repository or package signing key received:
Repository: Wayland Project (openSUSE_Tumbleweed)
Key Fingerprint: 18CF C763 92ED 4351 07A7 6F36 8B23 A9A7 7805 04E9
Key Name: X11 OBS Project <X11@build.opensuse.org>
Key Algorithm: RSA 2048

Key Expires: Tue 15 Sep 2026 09:15:17 PM CEST
Rpm Name: gpg-pubkey-780504e9-668ae945
Note: Signing data enables the recipient to verify that no modifications occurred after the data were signed. Accepting data with no, wrong or unknown signature can lead to a corrupted system and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.
Note: A GPG pubkey is clearly identified by its fingerprint. Do not rely on the key's name. If you are not sure whether the presented key is authentic, ask the repository provider or check their web site. Many providers maintain a web page showing the fingerprints of the GPG keys they are using.
Do you want to reject the key, trust temporarily, or trust always? [r/t/a/?] (r): a

Now re-login to Hyprland session and make sure that everything works the same way as on Fedora 42
UPDATE as of 06/27/25
It might happen that all what Dotfiles Installer does for you would be properly setup folder ~/.config/hypr/ due to Dotfiles Installer appears to be work in progress.
