This setup covers in my opinion best utilities for creating simple, yet pleasant user-experience on linux. I will include my config files and try to update them as I learn new things.

• window manager: hyprland

• terminal: kitty (will write my own)

• runner: anyrun (anyrun-git on aur)

• screenshot: flameshot (don't use prebuild version as it is not compatible with wayland, use flameshot-git from aur) / hyprshot (?)

• rest: ags probably

• install gnome-keyring for storing passwords
• and enable it systemctl enable --user gnome-keyring-daemon.service
• install polkit-gnome for redirecting password prompts to a nice gui
• install seahorse for a keyring gui (Passwords and secrets)
• enable gcr systemctl enable --user gcr-ssh-agent.service
• add export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gcr/ssh in your shell
• for gpg: add pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
• reload gpg agent: gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye, you should see OK

• install pipewire pipewire-pulse and optionally pipewire-jack pipewire-alsa
• enable services: systemctl enable --user pipewire.service pipewire-pulse.service
• optionally install easyeffects for advanced audio settings like equalizer (it requires lv2 plugins listed in optional deps)
• to auto-start it as a daemon create following systemd unit in /etc/systemd/user/:

easyeffects.service

[Unit]
Description=Easyeffects service
After=pipewire.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/easyeffects --gapplication-service
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=pipewire.service

and enable it: systemctl enable --user --now easyeffects.service

• install fish
• you can check where is it installed by using which
• use chsh, enter your password and change it to fish's path
