This isn't really a feature request, but I did not know where else to post this.
I am currently using prasangrathan's hyprdots, and I want to try this.

Although, I would like to install these dots side by side. Is there any way to install it in a manner where i can choose between these dots and my other ones separately on the SDDM session selector?

You can backup your .config/hypr folder alongside many other things like fish (or zsh). When you want to go back to prasangrathan's dots just move those back. That's how I did.

afaik do just as @nizkcs said, i dont think you can have two seperate hyprland sessions (i could be wrong tho)

Not really possible on a traditional linux distribution without using some messy backup setups.

It's technically doable to some extent with Nix + home-manager, but I haven't really seen any configuration setups which use flakes with home-manager modules to deliver dotfiles in this way, and you probably wouldn't be able to switch with SDDM unless you used separate user accounts, although you could easily switch without user accounts using a simple script to switch home-manager flake and logout.

For that matter, if you used separate user accounts it might be possible to avoid conflicts, but I imagine you probably don't want to be juggling files across users.
