Lainland Dotfiles

Let's all love Lain.

Arch + Hyprland dotfiles built around a cohesive Serial Experiments Lain palette. Modular installers, practical defaults, and Lain theming carried across the full desktop stack.

Warning

These dotfiles are still in progress. Use at your own risk.

Requirements

Install these first:

• git
• base-devel

If gaming is needed (Steam + Proton), enable multilib first.

Preferred during install:

• In archinstall → Additional repositories → enable multilib

Manual way:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

Uncomment:

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then sync:

sudo pacman -Syu

Install Flow

Modular installer structure lives under installers/.

Thanks / Credits / Inspiration

• Ascaniolamp/Hyprlain — the original Lain rice that started it all. Waybar layout and several theming ideas are heavily inspired by this work. Go star it.
• niraletter/waybar-timer — pomodoro/timer waybar module.
• Serial Experiments Lain — Yoshitoshi ABe, Yasuyuki Ueda, Ryutaro Nakamura. Watch it.
