The installation script is made for Arch, but may work on some Arch based distros.

THIS IS SPECIALLY TUNED FOR ASUS ( ROG & TUF ) LAPTOPS.

Nvidia drm will be enabled in grub, so please ensure your nvidia card supports dkms drivers/hyprland. If on install the resolution is incorrect pls change in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf under monitor. The keybinding for utility capsule is there only for ROG and TUF laptops. For others change in ~/.config/hypr/keybindings.conf

After minimal Arch install (with grub), clone and execute -

pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/ekahPruthvi/cynageOS.git
