Check all files, inspect your system and replace everything that
doesn't match with your system. Such as replacing all instances of
botan with andrew.
It will be overwritten! Make sure to back it up before applying this rootfs repo!

I have in the hypr/config.conf I have made it so that xwayland apps dont have frational scaling but you can remove it if you want to have fuzzy buttons, fonts,etc. If you like you can edit the following command that says program_name with the program name and run the that command you have edited and once you have run that you should have a not fuzzy font experaince. This may work on some applications but not all so this is at your own risk.
sudo sed -i '/^Exec=/ s/\(program_name\)\(.*\)/\1 --enable-features=useozoneplatform --ozone-platform=wayland\2/' /usr/share/applications/program_name.desktop
If you want you can disable force frational scaling by removing the following:
xwayland {
force_zero_scaling = true
}
CSD have sharp corners with the firefox theme
Wayland fix:
1. Go to the about:config page
2. Search for the layers.acceleration.force-enabled preference and set it to true.
3. Now restart Firefox, and it should look good!
Update librewolf theme theme
'''./scripts/auto-install.sh -f ~/.librewolf'''
Create /etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-blacklist.conf and add the following line as its contents;
blacklist hid_sensor_hub
To put it as a command;
echo "blacklist hid_sensor_hub" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-blacklist.confOr this command if you use a different initial ramdisk environment like booster.
sudo modprobe -i hid_sensor_hub
What this does
It blacklists sensor hub so that auto brightness is prevented from working, eventually fixing brightness keys.
