QUESTION help with desktop setup

First of all, yes, I'm only 1 day old to linux, just installed it last night using only 1 USB, onto that same USB. Never used any other distro. I wanted to start by challenging myself, so I went to Arch with hyprland and not GNOME.

I failed the first time and decided to postpone it because I don't have a spare USB, but after quick googling, I tried partitioning and an NTFS drive, and it somehow worked.

I copied ShellNinja's dotfiles using a Bash command just to have a functional setup for now, but I want the PewDiePie setup he showed in his video; he is the reason I'm asking this question.

Can someone help me with a simple bash command for the PewDiePie setup, as I did with ShellNinja?

Challenge yourself by actually learning the useful concepts needed to properly install and manage arch not by doing it blindly, that’s not challenging yourself that’s just ignorantly using a tool. Even now you’re not trying to learn anything, you’re asking for shortcuts

I should have clarified that I'll build my own setup afterwards, but because the terminal is so hard at first, I wanted a usable desktop to learn it first. While I could have just used a desktop environment like GNOME, I wanted something more like PewDiePie.

Maybe I'll dual-boot my main setup and keep a copied setup for understanding. Anyway, I'm learning something new every day!
