As a newbie Arch user, I got bored to use Gnome or KDE. I want to use Hyprland as my desktop environment. Like what I see at social media. But there is different ways to download it as far as I see. Somethings called Hyprdots, additional things like Waybar etc. and these making me confused. How can I download it and make it look like as the things I saw on the Internet? Don't want to be wannabe, just I don't know how to set it up.

Get it from pacman and follow the guide https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Master-Tutorial/

EDIT: You will have to rice things separately. I can send you my configs, if you want something to build on.

It's tenuous...

The best thing to do is follow the guide and tinker, one option at a time.

Start with the bare desktop, no bar no Nothing. Learn how to map your applications to a shortcut and how to navigate.

Then start trying things like waybar, etc. I would have a look at swaync and all of the ap suite that is really nice.
