Problem Description

When you install any TilingWM that uses Wayland you are usually limited to Waybar or something basic as a option. Would it be possible to add 2 desktop shells as option Noctalia and DankMaterial. Unlike Waybar you don't need to mess with the config file everything is installed and ready out of the box.

Proposed solution

Standard installation script for both with their dependencies installed. DankMaterial can be installed via curl while Noctalia with paru.

Noctalia:

Alternatives

N/A

Additional Context

Both are made to work on Hyprland, Niri, Sway, MangoWC, Labwc and Scroll. You have more options with customizing and even installing additional plugins for them.
