```
Then log out and pick the Blob session.
It runs these steps, in this order, and every one of them is idempotent:
To back out, `./uninstall.sh` removes the session entry, the config, and the
symlink, restoring any `.bak` the installer made. The checkout, the wallpapers,
and the themes stay where they are.
| Step | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| 1. `BLOB_PATH` | symlinks `~/.local/share/blob` to this checkout |
| 2. Directories | creates the 19 directories the shell and scripts expect |
| 3. Packages | installs what is missing from `packages/`, bootstrapping `yay` first on a machine that has no AUR helper |
| 4. Config | copies `hypr/`, the themed app configs, `blob/shell.json`, the uwsm environment, and the icon font into `~/.config` |
| 5. User units | installs the session services into `~/.config/systemd/user` and enables them |
| 6. systemd drop-ins | writes the shutdown timeouts, oomd thresholds, plocate prune paths, and sleep hooks under `/etc` |
| 7. System services | enables NetworkManager, resolved, bluetooth, cups, avahi, docker, power-profiles-daemon, and oomd, and masks `NetworkManager-wait-online` |
| 8. Login screen | installs the session entry and the SDDM config, enables `sddm.service`, and sets the default target to `graphical.target` |
| 9. Launch | starts the login screen, so the desktop comes up without a reboot |
Step 8 is the one a plain Arch install cannot do without: SDDM's stock Wayland
greeter runs on `weston`, which Blob does not install, so the greeter is pointed
at Hyprland instead. [install.md](docs/install.md) covers each step in full.
To back out, `./uninstall.sh` removes the session entry, the config, the user
services, and the symlink, restoring any `.bak` the installer made. The
checkout, the wallpapers, and the themes stay where they are.
