Fresh install

Run as the normal user, not root:

git clone https://github.com/RobloxExecutorV3/dots.git ~/dots
cd ~/dots
./install.sh

Then reboot once.

Updating an existing install

cd ~/dots
git pull
./install.sh
reboot

The installer is intentionally repeatable; package installs use --needed and configs are reapplied.

What install.sh fixes/applies

• installs all Qt/QML modules needed by Quickshell, including qt6-positioning and qt6-5compat
• installs ttf-material-symbols-variable and emoji fonts so Dynamic Island/launcher icons render
• installs Plasma Qt integration used by Dolphin outside Plasma
• copies the full Material You KDE color scheme and forces Dolphin to MaterialYouDark + Breeze + breeze-plus-dark
• generates the initial Matugen palette from the bundled wallpaper
• restores the Quickshell generated wallpaper/color state
• installs SilentSDDM
• if GRUB is already the active bootloader, installs the bundled Graphite 1080p theme and regenerates grub.cfg
• keeps Windows/os-prober support enabled; it does not repartition disks or replace the bootloader
• scales source 1440p UI positions/default overlays to 1080p where fixed coordinates existed

Monitor

Bundled preset:

hl.monitor({
    output = "",
    mode = "1920x1080@240",
    position = "0x0",
    scale = 1
})

If the exact mode differs, run hyprctl monitors and replace the connector/mode in ~/.config/hypr/monitors.lua with what the monitor reports.

GRUB

The installer only touches GRUB theming when /boot/grub/grub.cfg already exists. It copies the theme to /boot/grub/themes/Graphite-1080p, generates DejaVu GRUB font files locally, sets 1920×1080 graphics mode and regenerates the menu. Windows entries remain handled by os-prober.

SDDM

SilentSDDM is cloned from upstream at the pinned commit stored in sddm/SilentSDDM.commit and installed to /usr/share/sddm/themes/silent.
