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.

Edit: nmtui to connect to WiFi, and then a reboot solved it.

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.

Well, this is strange...

You said you're using both iwctl and nmtui, and maybe that's the issue, cause you're configuring 2 distinct apps to handle your connection and I think they can conflict with each other

Choose 1 and disable the other

For example, let's suppose you wanna keep iwd, so enable it with

sudo systemctl enable --now iwd.service

And disable NetworkManager

sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

Reboot your system

However I suggest you to take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration
