+# 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 Keep in mind you will not have pacman keeping track of outdated version if installed this way.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.
+
+To make DWM start on login, continue following the main guide and set up autostart with the StartX window manager (the recommended one).

+# 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 and should not be recommended if you don't know how advanced systemd services work. Always read the official Hyprland Wiki and Arch Wiki before using this guide.
+
+This guide covers both install and configuration.
+
+## Installation:
+1. Run `sudo pacman -S hyprland hyprcursor hyprlock hypridle hyprpicker hyprsunset hyprpwcenter hyprsysteminfo hyprshutdown dunst polkit-kde-agent waybar swww cliphist pcmanfm-qt grim slurp alacritty qt5-wayland qt6-wayland xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland network-manager-applet` to install most of the packages necessary for a working Hyprland desktop.
+2. With Paru, run `paru -S tofi waypaper` to install the rest of the packages not available in the main arch repository.
+3. Go back to the [Arch Install Guide](https://github.com/Luca06Luwa/Linux-Guides/blob/WIP-md-version/Arch%20Linux%20UEFI%20Install%20Guide.md#part-3-installing-and-enabling-a-display-manager) and install uwsm as the display manager/statup.
+
+## Configuration:
+Basic configuration so that hyprland works without any issues that would require a seperate desktop to fix.
+
+### Setting the correct apps:
+Packages like the file manager and terminal aren't going to be set correctly. This changes it to match the packages that were installed in the previous step.
+
+1. To edit the configuration file, run `nano /.config/hypr/hyprland.conf` and scroll to the my programs section.
+2. Change the launch options for keybinds to match below.
+```
+# Set programs that you use
+$terminal = alacritty
+$fileManager = pcmanfm-qt
+$menu = tofi-drun --drun-launch=true
+```
+3. Change the autostart options to match below.
+```
+# Autostart necessary processes (like notifications daemons, wallpaper managers, etc.)
+# Or execute your favorite apps at launch like this:
+
+exec-once = $terminal
+exec-once = nm-applet
+exec-once = waypaper --restore
+```
+
+
+### Nvidia patch: (UNOFFICIAL)
+Whilst Nvidia GPU support is not official for hyprland, there is a stable workaround that the devs recommend using if you only have Nvidia.
+
+Most of the steps to enable the functionality in the drivers have already been enabled and configured when installed. All that is needed is to tell Hyprland that it can use Nvidia drivers to render the desktop.
+
+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
+env = NVD_BACKEND,direct
+```
+
+
+### 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.
+```
+if uwsm check may-start; then
+  exec uwsm start hyprland-uwsm.desktop
+fi
+```

+# QEMU/KVM Setup Guide for Arch-Based Distributions.
+This guide is for if you want a really good gaming Virtual Machine to get around any Kernel Level Anti-Cheat or if you just want to have a easy to destroy burner install of windows. 
+
+This guide requires you to have two GPU's. One for the host (AMD is recommended) and one for the VM (NVIDIA is recommended). This guide is also not going to have any instructions for rEFInd bootloader.
+
+## 1. Enabling IOMMU for CPU (Only for Intel)
+This step is only necessary for Intel CPU's as AMD is already enabled if the kernel detects the setting in BIOS.
+
+| Bootloader | Instructions |
+| ---------- | ------------ |
+| GRUB | a. Run `sudo nano /etc/default/grub` and add `intel_iommu=on` to the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""`.<br>Should look something like this: `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_iommu=on"`.<br>b. Once the setting has been enabled, run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to rebuild the main GRUB config file.<br>c. Once the config files have been enabled, `reboot` your system to enable the changes to the kernel. |
+| Systemd-Boot | a. Run `sudo nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf` and add `intel_iommu=on` to the end of the options line.<br>b. Once the setting has been enabled, `reboot` your system to enable the changes to the kernel. |
+
+Once the IOMMU has been enabled for your CPU (AMD is already done if enabled in BIOS), run `dmesg | grep -i IOMMU` and verify that you see either `Intel-Iommu: Enabled` or `AMD-Iommu: Enabled`.
+
+
+## 2. Verifying IOMMU groups and saving group ids.
+This step is where you will identify the IOMMU groups allocated to your GPU's and saving them for use later.
+
+a. Paste this command and make sure to make sure your terminal does not change anything, just paste it in and that's it.
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+shopt -s nullglob
+for g in $(find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/* -maxdepth 0 -type d | sort -V); do
+    echo "IOMMU Group ${g##*/}:"
+    for d in $g/devices/*; do
+        echo -e "\t$(lspci -nns ${d##*/})"
+    done;
+done;
+```
+b. Save your GPU iommu groups for use in device isolation later on.<br>
+Example: (This example was pulled from the Arch wiki).
+```
+IOMMU Group 13:
+	 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] [10de:13c2] (rev a1)
+	 06:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 High Definition Audio Controller [10de:0fbb] (rev a1)
+```
+c. Save your GPU's IOMMU group ids in a notepad. The group ids are the ones similar to the `[10de:13c2]` line.<br>
+Note: If your GPU is assigned in a group with another device, you're going to need to install the zen kernel and use that for virtualization due to specific patches.
+
+
