Re: Packaging Hyprland

[hutzdog]

Hey,

I should also note that my PatchworkOS repo also has a Hyprland service, though 
it's integrated with Patchwork-specific infrastructure that gives control over 
which compositor is used to each user, provides a full Base16-derived theming 
system, provides an opinionated starter config to give a usable out of the box 
experience, and supports starting a pseudo-service that spawns in everything 
that would normally be manually run by the config. It doesn't have the plugin 
system supported, though.
