Arkyn Setup

Arkyn Setup opens once, at your first login. Every page can be skipped, and you can run it again any time from the app library (System › Arkyn Setup). Calm background music plays — the button at the top right turns it off, and it stays off next time.

Page What it does
Welcome The slogan, and what’s ahead.
Wi-Fi Pick a network and type its password. The password goes straight to NetworkManager; Arkyn keeps no copy.
Fingerprint Only if your laptop has a reader. Enrol a finger, then use it to log in and for sudo. The disk passphrase and the first keyring unlock still need your password.
Appearance Dark or light mode, and one of nine Arkyn wallpapers. More in Sov Settings.
Accounts Sign in to Claude Code and GitHub (in Sov Terminal), set your git name and email, open the Proton apps, log in to Mullvad with your account number.
Your phone Only if KDE Connect is available. Scan the F-Droid code, pair, and Arkyn switches off the risky plugins for that phone. See Pair your phone.
Battery Only on laptops with charge limits: explains the 80 % limit and the Max charge switch.
Tips A dozen tips, rolling by themselves.
All set Thank you — plus the website, email and donation addresses with Copy buttons.
