MDEB Arch

This is my personal Arch Linux configuration built using Hyprland! Some screenshots and details can be found below.

Install

Find below some of the installation instructions, which are tailored to my current Framework Laptop 13 (12th Gen Intel). You may need to make some adjustments if you have an NVIDIA GPU or use an AMD CPU.

Note that this install guide is primarily for my personal use - so that I don't remember how to install from scratch! At some point in time I may make this friendlier for other users.
