🛎 *** DEBIAN and UBUNTU Hyprland Dots UPDATING NOTES ***

Important

This is very Important for Debian and Ubuntu Dots

• Some parts of KooL's Dots are not compatible on Debian and Ubuntu especially the hyprland settings.

• That is the reason the DOTS for those distro's are "fixed" and they are being pulled on the releases. This releases are NOT in any of the branches of the KooL's Hyprland Dots.

• for Debian and Ubuntu if you want to update from newest KooL's dots versions (main branch), after running copy.sh, you will have 100% error which will appear on top. However, Hyprland is very good in pin pointing those errors.

• You can simply just remove those lines or add # on those lines. Then, it should be ok.

• copy all contents of configs into ~/.config, overwriting all
• copy contents of wallpapers into ~/Pictures/wallpapers/ (create wallpapers folder if required)
• make the Hyprland scripts executable

chmod +x $HOME/.config/hypr/scripts/*

• Make sure to execute initial symlinks else dunst, rofi and waybar will fail to launch

ln -sf "$HOME/.config/waybar/configs/<any waybar config of choice>" "$HOME/.config/waybar/config"
ln -sf "$HOME/.config/waybar/style/<any waybar style of choice>" "$HOME/.config/waybar/style.css"
