 You can now start hyprland with `uwsm start hyprland.desktop`.

+## Automatic Configuration
+
+A lot of the paage installation and configuration in the `$HOME` and `$HOME/.config` folders can be automated
+with `chezmoi`.
+
+1. Make sure that `chezmoi` is installed on the system with `pacman -S chezmoi`.
+2. Then run the following command to clone and apply configuration files from the `fz-stack` dotfiles repository.
+   You can modify the path you want to checkout the dotfiles to by modifying the `-S ...` argument.
+
+   ```sh
+   chezmoi -S $HOME/Projects/fz-stack/dotfiles init ssh://git@zechert.net:fz-stack/dotfiles.git
+   ```
+
+> Tip: The applied `~/.bashrc` will set up an alias to call `chezmoi` without the need to specify the `-S ...`
+> argument everytime. If you install the dotfiles to a different place than the `$HOME/Projects/fz-stack/dotfiles`
+> mentioned here, you will need to change this alias in the `.bashrc` configuration file.
+
+## Automatic Login on TTY1
+
+If the system is used by a single user, and the disk encryption password is known only to this user, it might be
+desirable to automatically log in this user when the computer starts.
+
+Create a drop-in file for `getty@tty1.service` with the following contents in `/etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf`.
+
+```ini
+[Service]
+ExecStart=
+ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -f -- \\u' --noclear --autologin <username> %I $TERM
+```
+
+After the automatic login of the user, Hyprland will be started on TTY1 by the `uwsm` commands
+in the `~/.bash_profile` file. On other TTYs, Hyprland will not be started automatically.
+
+## Create Default User Directories
+
+Execute the command `xdg-user-dirs-update` to create or update the default user directories.
