We start with attempt to install Pamac-GUI on CachyOS 250530. When install of Pamac-GUI succeeded we synchronize instance with AUR and make sure that ml4w-hyprland-git shows up via interface Add/Remove Programs. Next step is building ml4w-hyprland-git utilizing Pamac-GUI. When done reboot and attempt to run ml4w-hyprland-setup .
Detailed protocol of command running ml4w-hyprland-setup and installing flatpack's applications on CachyOS 250530 follows below after first screenshot , which confirms that `sudo pacman -S pamac-gui` succeeded on current release of CachyOS
