Okay so I just finished struggling through my archlinux install. I have arch Linux with hyprland now.

But I cannot figure out how to download anything.

At minimum i need a browser, and git. But I cannot figure out web downloads in kitty.

    Thank you!

    So far I’ve determined I’m definitely not connected to internet.

    Unfortunately i cannot seem to connect.

    I’ve tried iwctl, and also nmtui.

    I dont know if I’m describing this right but both connect without error for a bit. But the second I go to use the WiFi it disconnects.

    Edit: rebooting after connecting seems to have solved it.

      1. confirm you can connect via ethernet. It sounds like you can.
      2. Check available WiFi networks with nmcli device wifi
      3. Connect with nmcli device wifi connect <ssid> password <password>

      If nothing is listed in #2 then you need to install drivers for your WiFi. Check the arch wiki for how to identify which wifi card you have and what AUR package is needed. Installing an AUR package without internet will be an adventure so I recommend jacking in for that.
