    From the README

    Check this out for the full note: Journey to HyDE and beyond

    The installation script is designed for a minimal Arch Linux install, but may work on some Arch-based distros. While installing HyDE alongside another DE/WM should work, due to it being a heavily customized setup, it will conflict with your GTK/Qt theming, Shell, SDDM, GRUB, etc. and is at your own risk.

    For NixOS support there is a separate project being maintained @ Hydenix

    To install, execute the following commands:

    Please reboot after the install script completes and takes you to the SDDM login screen (or black screen) for the first time. For more details, please refer to the installation wiki.

    We welcome contributions from the community! To get started:

    Whether you're helping with code, testing, or documentation, we appreciate your support in making HyDE better for everyone. Thank you!
