When running the script you will get following error Repository AUR: 1) betterlockscreen 2) betterlockscreen-git
Enter a number (default=1): error: could not find all required packages: picom-jonaburg-git (target)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run script normally until better lockscreen step

Expected behavior Proceed with normal installation

Desktop:

Arch Linux

Fix Change line 71 (for arch install script) to $HELPER -S picom-git\ and when running just select defaults

Yeah, for some reason jonaburg's fork of picom is not in the aur anymore. It is fixed now. Also if you just install picom-git, you will not have window animations that are in jonaburg's fork of picom.

If you have already installed it and you want animations you can uninstall the current picom using yay -R picom-git and install jonaburg's fork like this:

git clone https://github.com/jonaburg/picom
cd picom
makepkg -si

Make sure to not run it as root
