Hyprland Starter and Dotfiles Installer on Arch Linux KDE Plasma 6.3.5

 Connect via ssh to Arch Linux Plasma KVM Guest and   issue series of commands following Stephan Raabe setup on minimal Arch Linux Instance  skipping Hyprland due to we already have alive Plasma DE been previously installed. We actually intend to run  `flatpak run com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller`  inside KDE Plasma konsole.

   $ sudo pacman -S flatpak git curl wget firefox vim kitty

   $  git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git

   $  cd yay

   $  makepkg -si

   $  cd

   $  which yay

   Setup Dotfiles Installer (GUI based interface) as advised on github page of Stephan Raabe 

   $  bash -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles-installer/master/setup.sh)"

   Now switch to KDE Plasma DE and run :-

$  flatpak run com.ml4w.dotfilesinstaller

selecting kitty as preferable terminal also copying URL suggested by Stephan Raabe to  Dotfiles Installer from the page https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/hyprland-starter?tab=readme-ov-file

Then switch terminal resolution for Hyprland session manually

    $   vim monitor.conf

    [boris@localhost ~]$ cd ~/.config/hypr/conf/

    [boris@localhost conf]$ cat monitor.conf

     # See https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Monitors/

     # monitor=,preferred,auto,1

      monitor = ,1920x1080@144,0x0,1 

      At this point we are all set




















Make several snapshots inside Hyperland with ML4W Dotfiles and make sure that resolution has been setup to 1920x1080 in Hyprland as second DE.



















Verify switching back to KDE Plasma 6.3.5 as first DE been setup
