Debian Hyprland with Tokyo Night

The nord colour scheme got a bit too grey for me, so I swapped to Toyko Night with a custom darker blue background colour. Modified VS Code, foot, btop, Soundcloud etc

Install Debian

Install a base system with no desktop environment, add contrib and non-free and dist-update to sid. (I like to install the ssh-server from tasksel and then remote in to install the rest)

Setup console

sudo nano /etc/default/console-setup

FONTSIZE="16x32"

Setup Grub

sudo apt install grub-theme-breeze

sudo cp -R /usr/share/grub/themes/breeze /boot/grub/themes/breeze

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/breeze/theme.txt"

Install Hyprland

sudo apt install hyprland hyprland-protocols hyprwayland-scanner xwayland waybar fuzzel grim slurp swappy cliphist greetd tuigreet gtklock hyprpaper mako-notifier libnotify-bin nwg-look libglib2.0-bin bibata-cursor-theme fonts-noto-color-emoji grub-theme-breeze

Install required apps

Also useful: sudo apt install multitail tree trash-cli

Setup greetd login

Edit /etc/greetd/config.toml command = "tuigreet --cmd hyprland"

Clone the dots

git clone git@github.com:sebday/debian-hyprdots.git

mv debian-hyprdots/* ~/

Reboot and run hyprland

6 Month Update

Still on this setup 😄 A record on linux.

A couple of reinstall to move partitions around, but straight back to the same dotfiles.
