You sound like a very loving person. 
Can’t remember, I made a note of it in Joplin, but not why or where I found the info.
I just want to comment the moment this name appears 
Sorry OP, not related to this post

I think i mixed two things together. So kwallet is something what’s recommended in hyprland anyway. So having it installed is certainly not the end of the world. I tried to disable is in kwalletmanager last night and things did work so i’m not 100% sure now what is the next step.
I mistakenly wrote relation (which was meant as substitution actually) between kwallet and hyprpolkitagent. While i think that similar thing in KDE is polkit-kde-agent (or something similar). So that’s just what it is. I will maybe just disable kwallet in its manager and see how things behave between reboots.
Everything else has been very much smooth sailing. Browser is fixed. Games are running as they are expected to. I will see how discord behaves in the future and if that “fix” with deleting ~/.config/discord in case streaming breaks again.
Minor things are some applications scaling. That is known wayland thing with some apps will not accept --ozone-platform=wayland and their UI are oversized. Steam, BambuLab studio, cryptomator.
I don’t mind even a little bit @dirn 
#xwayland:force_zero_scaling
xwayland {
force_zero_scaling = true
}
I already have that one in hyprland.conf 
My only suggestion as a noob is to be conscious that the Arch repository is a massive, community-driven library of packages and that malware in the AUR package may be a real threat. So, if possible stick to pacman and if you really must double check everything before doing some yay package installation.
This scaling problem is something i have also on my fedora + hyprland machine. Hyprland is officially not even supported there so got an idea what do i need to install to get it working. Either way it’s only those 3 apps i mentioned so far. Cryptomator does not matter at all, steam more or less also. BambuStudio is more annoying because UI takes a lot of valuable space on the screen but even here it’s not the end of the world.
I’ll read through that article in any case. Better to be aware for sure.
So interesting problem started to happen.
My browser (vivaldi) can’t seem to be able to hold cookies correctly. It presents itself in the way that the browser logs out on every website. Great folks over at vivaldi forum recommended to look into this from the OS angle as well hinting towards encrypted cookies not getting decrypted.
So following up on that i have exec-once = systemctl --user start hyprpolkitagent in hyprland.conf . And that is getting started fine. So what would be the next thing. Maybe kwallet needs to be authenticated as well?
If using multiple DEs/WMs or different sessions (Wayland and X11), you are likely to have this issue from time to time with Chromium-based browsers.
Best to avoid opening them in different environments and to use the same secrets manager (kwallet, gnome-keyring, etc.) in all cases.

Few restarts (and rather odd behaviour of unrelated components) later and it is the keyring.
So kwallet is needed to decrypt cookies but vivaldi won’t ask for it and rather drops cookies completely. I’ll try to find a way how to automatically start kwallet (so far i couldn’t figure it out and things on arch wiki don’t work). Ideally authenticate it when logging into system. I don’t see any option how to manually add an application to force kwallet prompt.
Generally, when not using KDE, pretty much every DE/WM (and distro) I’ve come across uses gnome-keyring instead of kwallet. I’d suggest you do the same unless you actually use KDE.
I just installed gnome-keyring . Disabled kwallet in kwalletmanager and rebooted. Nothing. Lost all logins again. I did check that gnome-keyring-daemon is running before starting anything. So manually created new keyring called “Login” because that is needed for auto-login things.
Another reboot later. I open seahorse and there is now second keyring called Login. Opened browser and cryptomator and key were added there. So i deleted the other one.
That’s kind of it. Now browser also appears in this (as opposed to the kwallet which didn’t show it). It does not unlock automatically on user login but that can be changed somewhere in ‘/etc/pam.d’ i think. At least the browser asks for password as well. So It’s kinda sorted.
