You've managed to install a secure OS but now you'd like to get a graphical interface. This page will add the display server protocol called Wayland to your machine. We're choosing Wayland because it is future proof and more secure than it's predecessor X11.

Install Wayland

If you've followed the user environment setup, you can install Wayland

sudo pacman -S wayland-protocols

Clipboard support

To be able to copy and paste from our clipboard, we're going to add the package wl-clipboard

sudo pacman -S wl-clipboard

We now have access to the wl-copy and wl-paste commands

XDG Portal

To be able to screenshare, use a file picker and more, we need to add a portal to our environment. Run this command to install the necessary package

sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
