Hyprland on EndeavourOS and Arch based distro with improved install script + nvidia support
189To be clear, this is a slight improvement of my previous installer featured on this video
https://youtu.be/BUgzNdxOaD4
a.) features auto-check of keyboard layout and will be confirmed to user before writing to Hyprland.conf
b.) auto enabling of env=WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS,1 once nvidia-gpu is detected.
c.) added some additional features like switching to dark and light wallpaper, dual panel waybar layout..
This script is intended for Arch but I wanted to show you guys that you can install in any Arch based distro. I dont know if it will work on Manjaro as manjaro have a different repo and most AUR apps on Manjaro tend to break.

### ✨ If upgrading from Hyprland-v2,
- easy way, ran script, script will create back-up of your files and folders (which needed for the config-dots) so you can easily copy over.
- long way, copy the scripts in config/hypr/scripts and copy to your ~/.config/hypr/scripts . Make sure to make them executable after copied. By running chmod +x filename..
- copy the waybar folder in config/hypr/waybar to your ~/.config/hypr/waybar
- copy the wallpapers to your ~/Pictures . Some scripts are checking those folder. If not, modify the scripts changeWallpaper, changeWallpaper2, dark-light-mode, wallpaper-switcher in your ~/.config/hypr/scripts to your actual wallpapers.
