Note

• Recommend archinstall with Sway as desktop for base
• Don't forget to enable and set sddm as default display manager
• It’s recommended to uninstall any other portal implementations to avoid conflicts with the -hyprland or -wlr ones. -kde and -gnome are known to cause issues. both -wlr and -hyprland installed at once will also cause conflicts. Choose one and uninstall the other. see https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Hyprland-desktop-portal/
