Hyprland wont fucking work and im not allowed to vent with all caps

bro like i'm a larper and shit i use archinstall instead of doing the actual stuff myself. i've been using kde for a long time. after understanding how niri worked i installed it. it was pretty great paired with noctalia. the thing is though i also wanted to try hyprland cuz yk larp and it automatically fits the windows in ur current workspace. and i tried it with noctalia on a fresh archinstall and i really liked it. better than niri in fact. but i dont know how to configure it properly bcz im not well versed in lua.

1.) i don't know how to make the inactive window border disappear on hyprland
2.) i don't know how to make the global icons papiris-dark icons

3.) this is a special problem for me. i have a
HP Pavilion Laptop 15-cs0xxx
i have switched the ram to 16gb which i swapped from a diff laptop
it's pretty dang old
the nvidia mx130 only has 2gb gddr5 (idk probably) vram
(please ask me more info about anything if needed)

so the thing is that when i used kde plasma with this setup i would DEFINITELY come across problems like visual freezes and like odd weird colourful swaps and display flickering freezes ( cant switch to tty or anything at all the entire thing just fucking freezes ). and when i switched to niri it didn't happen at all actually. but now that i'm using hyprland the frequency has increased. i haven't enountered any of the visual weird coloutful stuff but it def keeps freezing a lot more.  I REALLY NEED TO GET RID OF THIS ISSUE I DON'T WANNA SWITCH TO SOME FCKASS DEBIAN DISTRO PLEASE

if i encounter more problems i'll make a post here

is this how kids talk now ?
swearing wont help anything
whats wrong with debian distros ? i recommend linux mint to everyone as it just works (most of the time)
your problem is most likely due to the hybrid graphics setup, i just turned it off on my old laptop and used the intel chip but that was probably 6-7 years ago so im sure things are better now, you just need to read the wiki pages and setup accordingly:
start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA  and read the "related articles" as well
you will need the "nvidia-580xx-dkms" package from the AUR
see how you go with that and report back if you need help, and please speak/type like a human

EDIT: sorry forgot to mention you will need 'linux-headers' package installed for the nvidia modules to build too

once you sort out those graphics thingy, have a good time reading https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Basics/Variables/, and also https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Adva … variables/
