Grew tired of the compounding issues on my Pop!Os (mainly caused by it being based on an outdated Ubuntu) so I gave #cachyOS a try. Very impressed with the installer and always liked #arch in general. Some rough edges, mostly in the form of missing dependencies (waybar lacks icon fonts, sway lacks swaybg) but that's all solvable. What continues to piss me off though is how shitty complicated it is to consistently set up dark mode. Someone solve this pls.

@dngrs@chaos.social Hello, Hyprland/Niri user here but the process should be about the same. GUI method: sudo pacman -Syu --needed nwg-look xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Open nwg-look and change your gtk theme as desired, just making sure to change the "Color Scheme" selector to "Prefer Dark" and then hit Apply. This will activate dark mode across gtk2/3/4 applications. If you'd like to do the same for QT applications as well, if you use them, let me know as that's a different process. More info on nwg-look here if you want to look into it: https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-look
