It is horrible behaviour that the wiki's command to run defaults to the web installer, which SKIPS the confirmation prompt that you will be overwriting all of your data, which happened to me. This should NEVER be the case. Given the gravity of these changes, which may not be done on a fresh system, and frankly probably won't be done on a fresh system most of the time, changes like this should NEVER be done without a confirmation prompt, as is general good practice.
The backup script is flawed and doesn't work. First and foremost, it should backup the entire .config/hypr directory which could contain multiple .conf files instead of just .config/hypr/hyprland.conf. I have confirmed that it doesn't do this in the source code. But worst of all, it doesn't even copy successfully, as the backup is nowhere to be found on my system. I suspect that this is because you try to copy to a config directory which doesn't exist by default.
Lastly, other configs such as the foot.ini get overriden with no backup
There is one main important takeaway: do NOT make system-breaking changes without confirmation beforehand, and when you do so, write working and tested backup scripts.
