Personal I have no account at riseup.net for this current moment. But perhaps someone here in the community can help?

lumina desktop
exec start-lumina-desktop
icewm
exec icewm-session
I added xterm into your package-selection before so you have a terminal running at most of them already.

It would help if you state what kind of window-manager or desktop-environment you have now installed. For Lumina you would have basics already, same for IceWM and JWM also. Others in the list are different. So please take into perspective that you always give more information about what you did. Besides interesting: Have you taken a look into your .xinitrc-file under $HOME?

Frist you create at best your user (root-access).

useradd -g users -m -s /bin/bash [USERNAME]

Then you install:

doas pacman -S lumina lumina-extra slim-theme-hyperbola xenocara-video-intel xterm

And add your services afterwards:

Please have a look at the previous postings where I underline the packages to be installed. And the wiki-link itself. So I think it is clear that lumina is part of the repositories.

@throgh you could also mention that Lumina Desktop is already in the Hyperbola repos so it shouldn't be terribly hard.

Hello, Hyperbola is not proposing any desktop-environment. So you won't find any KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Mate, Deepin or Pantheon here. You can nevertheless have different other options:

desktop-environment
lumina, lumina-extra (package-groups) for the Lumina-desktop, https://lumina-desktop.org/

window-managers
jwm, https://joewing.net/projects/jwm/
icewm, https://ice-wm.org/
fluxbox, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox
openbox, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openbox
herbstluftwm, https://herbstluftwm.org/
i3wm, https://i3wm.org/
dwm, https://dwm.suckless.org/
evilwm, https://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/

Your choice as there are for sure much more environments and combinations.
But to note: You cannot install KDE, Gnome or Xfce. We do not offer those here.
