Argvus Session

Argvus Session ships the startup infrastructure for the Argvus Desktop Environment.

It provides:

• /usr/bin/argvus-session
• /usr/bin/argvus-start
• /usr/bin/argvus-tty
• /usr/share/wayland-sessions/argvus.desktop

argvus-session is the official graphical-session entrypoint. It prepares the session environment and executes argvus-start; it does not copy packaged configuration into the user's home directory. argvus-start launches Hyprland with the appropriate Argvus configuration and resets the graphical session identity to Hyprland, so a display-manager greeter environment is not inherited by the user desktop. argvus-tty is the TTY fallback for starting the same session without a display manager. By default it uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hypr/hyprland.lua when that user override exists, otherwise it uses /usr/share/argvus/hypr/hyprland.lua.

The session prepends /usr/share/argvus to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS while preserving existing directories such as /etc/xdg, so applications that support XDG system configuration can discover packaged Argvus defaults.

The main argvus package provides the desktop configuration and /usr/bin/argvus-setup; this package stays as a small reusable session component.
