Getting back packages (hypridle, hyprlock, hyprpaper)
TL;DR Wondering how to get them back, and what’s the best approach. Hey I’m a bit new to bazzite and how to properly manage software installations, but I'm aware of flatpak, ujust, distrobox, appimage and rpm-ostree. Ive been using hyprland for a while, installed a while ago with a mix of some dotfiles and ml4w scripts, which of course added some other packages alongside and they were working for a couple of months; I assumed as it was a fedora version of the scripts there was some alias falling back to rpm-ostree. I noticed while trying to run ujust upgrade started failing during rpm-ostree upgrade, due to missing packages; so my suspicion is they were once available and might not be anymore, due to some external factor (maybe the newer fedora version/etc!?). Those are the ones I was having issues: 
error: Packages not found: hypridle, hyprlock, hyprpaper
error: Packages not found: hypridle, hyprlock, hyprpaper
Looking up online I found some people recommending to remove the packages in order to be able to upgrade, and that’s what Ive done, to avoid running rpm-ostree reset which sounded a bit drastic for this case. And this is what I currently have:
