I recently installed Arch Linux with GNOME, but then I discovered Hyprland and decided to give it a shot. I've installed the ml4w dotfiles for Hyprland, but I'm struggling with configuring things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I'm completely new to Linux and Arch is my first distro, so I'd really appreciate any guidance. Also, if I only want to use Hyprland, can I safely remove GNOME, or is that not recommended? I really hope to get some human help instead of automated responses!

Honestly, configuring Hyprland can be tricky, even for those who are a bit experienced. Start with the GNOME desktop, work through the setup there, and ensure your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are running fine using that. Arch can be a steep learning curve, and if you don't need a tiling window manager right away, consider sticking with something more user-friendly until you're more comfortable with Linux.
If you want to stick with Hyprland, you can remove GNOME if you're sure about it. But be cautious – it might make things more complicated. It’s best to look at the Arch Wiki for specific instructions on setting up Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to get you started. Documentation is key here!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check the Arch Wiki and try to find guidance there.
Got it, I’ll try sticking with GNOME for now!
