 # Arch Linux UEFI Install Guide
+Small note: This took soo long to rewrite this guide as there is soo much stuff in it that had to be rewritten from scratch.
+
+This guide assumes that your default language is english.
+
+## 1. Basic initial Setup
+a. Run the command `ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars` to check if your booted into UEFI.</br>
+b. Run `timedatectl status` to ensure the date and time is accurate.
+
+## 2. Networking
+If you're not going to be using WI-FI, then skip steps b to g.
+
+### Part One (Wi-Fi Setup).
+a. Run `ip link` to identify your network setup.</br>
+b. Run `iwctl` to configure your Wi-Fi connection.</br>
+c. Once in iwd run `device list` to list your Wi-Fi card.</br>
+d. Run `station [Your wifi card] scan` to scan the local area for networks.</br>
+e. Run `station [Your wifi card] get-networks` to list the available networks.</br>
+f. Run `station [your wifi card] connect "[your network]"` to connect to your network.</br>
+g. Press `ctrl + d` to exit iwd</br>
+h. ip link (To verify that you're getting an ip connection to Wi-Fi).
+
+### Part Two (Testing Connection).
+Run `ping archlinux.org` to test the internet connection.</br>
+Note: You can press `ctrl + c` to stop pinging.

+This step will be based off of which bootloader you decided to partition your hard drive for.
+
+If you chose to install GRUB then ONLY do 15a.</br>
+If you chose to install Systemd-Boot then ONLY do 15b.
+
+### 15a. Grub Bootloader. (Linux dual boot/Easy Mode)
+a. Run `pacman -S grub efibootmgr os-prober` to install the necessary packages.</br>
+b. Run `grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB` to inject and install Grub to your system.</br>
+c. Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to generate the grub configuration file.
+
+### 15b. Systemd-Boot. (Requires manual entries/Hard Mode)
+a. Re-run `ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars` to check if the efi firmware is mounted and installed.</br>
+b. Run `bootctl install` to inject and install Systemd-Boot to your system.</br>
+c. Run `systemctl enable systemd-boot-update.service` to enable the updater script.</br>
+d. Run `nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf` and add the following lines.
+```
+title Arch Linux
+linux /vmlinuz-linux (change this depending on what kernel you have).
+initrd /initramfs-linux.img
+initrd /intel-ucode.img or /amd-ucode.img
+```
+
+e. Once added everything into the file, run `echo "options root=PARTUUID=$(blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/root_partition) rw" >> /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf` to add the partition id of the root partition so that it tells arch linux that it will boot to that drive only.
+
+
+## 16. Graphics Drivers
+This step is necessary if you want your GPU to be working properly. The drivers are sorted based on what manufacturer your card is from so select the one that matches your card.
+
+| Manufacturer | Instructions |
+| ------------ | ------------ |

Subject: [PATCH 017/154] Probably the last commit of easy stuff.

Context: The desktop environment guide has a lot of items that have to be rewritten. A lot of the original version was written with the mindset that it wouldn't be rewritten.

+
+
+## 21. Graphical Environment.
+This step is probably the most confusing to users and the most difficult part of the rewrite for me.
+
+Currently, there are two well known video drivers for linux. Wayland and Xorg. This guide is mainly focused on Xorg, however if you want to use Wayland it's already enabled and ready to go.
+
+Note: If you are having an issue with wayland on NVIDIA GPU's, install the `egl-wayland` package to fix the issue.
+
+### Part 1. Installing Xorg.
+Run `sudo pacman -S xorg xorg-xinit` to install the xorg video drivers.
+
+### Part 2. Selecting your Desktop Environment and or Window Manager.
+| Desktop Environment | Instructions |
+| ------------------- | ------------ |
+| AwesomeWM | Run `sudo pacman -S awesome alacritty pcmanfm-qt` to install the packages for a working install of AwesomWM. |
+| i3 | Run `sudo pacman -S i3 alacritty pcmanfm-qt dmenu` to install the packages for a working install of i3.<br>Note: Make sure you select the `i3-gaps` package instead of the normal package. |
+| Gnome | Run `sudo pacman -S gnome gnome-tweaks xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk` to install the packages for a working install of Gnome. |
+| KDE Plasma (X11) | Run `sudo pacman -S plasma kde-applications` to install the packages for a working install of KDE Plasma. When prompted, select the VLC backend for audio. |
+| KDE Plasma (Wayland) | If you want to use KDE under Wayland, install the X11 version and then run `plasma-wayland-session qt6-wayland xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde` to install the wayland packages. When prompted, select the VLC backend for audio. |
+| LXQt | Run `sudo pacman -S lxqt breeze-icons network-manager-applet leafpad` to install the packages for a working install of LXQt. |
+| Sway | Note: Sway only works on AMDGPU's and only under Wayland.<br>Run `sudo pacman -S sway swaylock swayidle swaybg waybar light grim slurp foot xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-wlr` to install most of the packages reqired for a working install of Sway.<br>With Paru, run `paru -S tofi` to install the application launcher. |
+| Xfce | Run `sudo pacman -S xfce xfce-goodies network-manager-applet` to install the packages for a working install of Xfce. |
+
+
+### Part 3. Installing and enabling a display manager.
+| Display Manager | Instructions |
+| --------------- | ------------ |
+| GDM | Note: Since GDM is included with Gnome you don't need to install anything.<br>To enable the Display Manager upon reboot run `sudo systemctl enable gdm.service`. |
+| SDDM | Run `sudo pacman -S sddm` to install SDDM and then run `sudo systemctl enable sddm.service` to enable the Display Manager upon reboot. |
+| LightDM | Run `sudo pacman -S lightdm` to install the base version of lightDM and run `sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service`  to enable the Display Manager upon reboot.<br>Since LightDM does not include a environment to run on you wil have to install one of the greeters listed below. |
+| StartX | Since StartX is kind of difficult to setup i will simply like to the Arch Wiki for instructions. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#Autostart_X_at_login. |
+| Sway on TTY | Since Sway doesn't allow to be launched with a Display Manager I will simply link to the arch wiki for instructions on how to set it up. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sway#Automatically_on_TTY_login. |
+
+
+### Part 4. Choose the greeter you want to use for LightDM.
+If your using any other display manager then you can skip this step and move onto Part 5.
+
+The two versions is just what style you want. If you want a style that looks like Gnome then select the GTK version. If you want a style thats easy to configure and looks great then use the Webkit2 version.
+
+| Greeter | Instructions |
+| ------- | ------------ |
+| GTK | Run `sudo pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings` to install the GTK greeter and configurator tool. |
+| Webkit2 | Run `sudo pacman -S lightdm-webkit2-greeter` to install the webkit2 greeter. |
+
+
+## 22. Audio Drivers.
+This step is necessary if you want to have a working audio setup. 
+
+One of the packages, `pipewire` to be exact, is required for wayland since by itself wayland does NOT allow screen capture for programs, and the `alsa-ucm-conf` package is needed for basic non configurable GoXLR support.
+
+Run `sudo pacman -S alsa-ucm-conf alsa-utils alsa-plugins pavucontrol pipewire pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse lib32-pipewire lib32-pipewire-jack pulsemixer qpwgraph sof-firmware wireplumber` to install all the packages needed for a working audio setup.
+
+## 23. Gstreamer Full Support.
+This step only applies to the the other Desktop Environments. Window Managers and KDE with VLC backend can go without it.
+
+Run `sudo pacman -S gstreamer lib32-gstreamer gst-libav gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly gst-plugins-pipewire gstreamer-vaapi` to install these packages.
+
+## 24. Reboot and login.
+Run `reboot` and then login to your user account and then you should see the Desktop you installed. Congratulations You have sucessfully installed Arch Linux.

+## Applications.
+This is a list of all programs that use linux that I am aware of. There are games and other programs in here too.

Subject: [PATCH 114/154] Patch 26 - Part 6

- improved spelling and wording for the remaining steps
- moved audio part to be before desktop part as some packages get errors when installing
- rewrote some parts as they were remnants of old txt based guide

This guide won't receive anymore updates unless I notice a critical update to the arch wiki install guide.

+Traditionally, packages from the AUR have to be downloaded and compiled onto your system from source code, but with a program called an AUR Helper, it builds and installs everything for you.

+b. Once downloaded, `cd paru-bin` to go into the newly downloaded folder.<br>
+c. Once you are in the `paru` folder, run `makepkg -si` to install Paru.<br>

+Currently, there are two well known video drivers that a linux system can have installed, both of them being Wayland and Xorg (legacy). This guide is mainly focused on Xorg as most apps still use it (like most games), however if you want to use Wayland instead of Xorg then it's already been set up and enabled.
+
+If you do not want to use Xorg at all and want to have a pure Wayland configuration, then you can skip part 1 of this step and just install a Wayland based desktop environment.
+
+Note: Most Wayland compositors may not work with Nvidia GPU's, so if you have Nvidia GPU use Xorg.
 
 ### Part 1. Installing Xorg.
-Run `sudo pacman -S xorg xorg-xinit` to install the xorg video drivers.

+Note: Zsh is plugin based for most customisations and most of those plugins are easy to install, as a result, most plugin managers such as Oh My Zsh are not needed and are actually considered bloatware.
 
-a. Run `sudo pacman -S zsh zsh-completions` to install Zsh.<br>
-b. Once installed, run `zsh` to begin the initial setup<br>

 Tip: You might want to move some code from the `.bashrc` file to the `.zshrc` file (e.g. the prompt and the aliases). It's also recommended to move code from the `.bash_profile` file to the `.zprofile` file (e.g. the code that makes your window manager work).

 ## Applications.
 This is a list of all programs that have linux support that I am aware of. There are games and other programs in here too.
 
-Note 1: This list is only if your using the terminal for installing packages and before you install a program, always remember to run a `sudo pacman -Sy` or `sudo pacman -Syu` to make sure the repos are up to date so that there is no incompatibility.

+# DWM Manual Install Guide
+If you are wanting to build DWM manually instead of installing through the Arch User Repository, then follow the steps bellow.
+
+Note: You are responsible for ensuring that dwm is up to date after every stable release as pacman will not help you here.
+
+1. Run `sudo pacman -S libx11 libxft libxinerama dmenu alacritty pcmanfm-qt` to install the dependencies.<br>
+2. Run `git clone https://git.suckless.org/dwm`to download the source files.<br>
+3. Run `sudo make clean install` to install dwm base.<br>
+4. Edit the `config.h` file to your liking and ensure the required dependencies are assigned.<br>
+5. Rebuild the package with the same build command.
+
+To make DWM start on login, continue following the main guide and set up autostart with the StartX window manager (the recommended one).

+# DWM Install Guide
+If you are wanting to install DWM onto your system, then follow the this guide and then return back to the main guide once it's installed.
+
+There are two ways of installing DWM on Arch Linux:
+
+### Upstream:
+The first being the upstream method in which you download the package from the source tree and manually compiling the package. Keep in mind you will not have pacman keeping track of outdated version if installed this way.<br>If you wish to install manually, go to the Manual Guide.
+
+### Arch User Repository:
+The other method being you install from the Arch User Repository and building from there. Pacman will keep track of updates and versions.<br>If you wish to install through the AUR, go to the Arch User Repository Guide.
+
+Whichever method you choose will give you the same result, that being you will have a functioning DWM install.
+
+## Manually:
+
+Note: You are responsible for ensuring that dwm is up to date after every stable release as pacman will not help you here.
+
+1. Run `sudo pacman -S freetype2 libx11 libxft libxinerama dmenu alacritty pcmanfm-qt` to install the dependenciesneed for building and having a working desktop.<br>
+2. Run `git clone https://git.suckless.org/dwm`to download the source files.<br>
+3. Run `sudo make clean install` to install dwm base.<br>
+4. Edit the `config.h` file to your liking and ensure the required packages are assigned.<br>
+5. Rebuild the package with the same build command.
+
+To make DWM start on login, continue following the main guide and set up autostart with the StartX window manager (the recommended one).
+
+## Arch User Repository:
+
+1. Run `sudo pacman -S dmenu alacritty pcmanfm-qt` to install the dependencies needed to have a working desktop.<br>
+2. Run `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dwm.git`to download the source files from the AUR.<br>
+3. Edit the `config.h` file to your liking and ensure the required packages are assigned.<br>
+4. Run `makepkg -si` to compile DWM and apply the customisations.

+# Hyprland Install Guide
+If you are wanting to install Hyprland onto your system with every package required to have a working install, then follow the this guide and then return back to the main guide once it's installed.
+
+Please note that this guide is meant to be for experienced users. Always read the official Hyprland Wiki and Arch Wiki before using this guide.
+
+This guide covers both install and cofiguration.
+
+## Installation:
+1. Run `sudo pacman -S hyprland mako polkit-kde-agent cliphist grim slurp foot qt5-wayland qt6-wayland xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland` to install most of the packages necessary for a working Hyprland desktop.
+2. With Paru, run `paru -S tofi waybar-hyprland swww waypaper-git` to install the rest of the packages.
+
+
+## Nvidia fix:
+Whilst Nvidia GPU's don't have official support, there is a stable workaround.
+
+Most of the steps to enable the functionallity has already been enabled and configured. All that is needed is to tell Hyprland that it can use Nvidia.
+
+1. To set the environment variables to boot on Nvidia, run `nano /.cofig/hypr/hyprland.conf` and scroll to the environment variable section.
+2. Add the variables below to enable Nvidia support.
+```
+env = LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME,nvidia
+env = __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME,nvidia
+```
+

+## 14. Graphics Drivers.*
 This step is what I like to call "NIGHTMARE MODE" as in this step, you will be installing your GPU drivers. The drivers have been sorted based on what manufacturer your card is from. So select the one that matches your card.
 
 Note: There are two NVIDIA drivers, the proprietary driver is for gtx700 series to rtx30 series, and the open modules are for rtx20 series and newer. So PLEASE be careful when installing your GPU drivers for NVIDIA.

+### Hyprlock configuration:
+Hyprlock does not create a configuration file, so you will have to download an [example configuration](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprlock/blob/main/assets/example.conf).
+
+The config file goes into the `/.config/hypr` directory.
+
+More info can be found in the [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprlock), and the official [Hyprland Wiki](https://wiki.hypr.land/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprlock/)

 ### Final configuration options:
 1. Run `systemctl --user enable waybar.service` so that waybar starts up with Hyprland.
 2. Run `nano /.profile` and add the following for uwsm startup.
