It's recommended to uninstall any other portal implementations to avoid conflicts with the `-hyprland` or `-wlr` ones.
`-kde` and `-gnome` are known to cause issues.

both `-wlr` and `-hyprland` installed at once will also cause conflicts. Choose one and uninstall the other.

To keep any incompatible portal installed the relvant `.portal` file can be moved out of
'/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/' to temporarily disable the portal. A script and the `exec-once`
directive can be used to automate this process at startup:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
# usage: $0 portal-name [enable/disable]
# args:
# portal-name: the name of the .portal file in /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/ without the extension
# [enable/disable]: optional - whether to move the file into $ENABLED_PORTAL_DIR to enable it,
# or to move it into $DISABLED_PORTAL_DIR to disable it. The portal will be toggled
# if this argument is omitted.
ENABLED_PORTAL_DIR="/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals"
# needs to be created manually
DISABLED_PORTAL_DIR="/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/disabled-portals"
function is_enabled {
[ -f "$ENABLED_PORTAL_DIR/$1.portal" ]
}
function is_disabled {
[ -f "$DISABLED_PORTAL_DIR/$1.portal" ]
}
function enable {
mv "$DISABLED_PORTAL_DIR/$1.portal" "$ENABLED_PORTAL_DIR/$1.portal"
}
function disable {
mv "$ENABLED_PORTAL_DIR/$1.portal" "$DISABLED_PORTAL_DIR/$1.portal"
}
PORTAL=$1
ENABLE=${2:-$(is_enabled $PORTAL && echo "disable" || echo "enable")}
if [ $ENABLE = "enable" ]; then
is_disabled $PORTAL && enable $PORTAL
else
is_enabled $PORTAL && disable $PORTAL
fi
```
The incompatible portal can then be re-enabled with the same script inside the autostart mechanisim of the intented
environment. Keep in mind that the directory for disabled portals needs to be created manually and this script needs
to have access to /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/ and the disabled directory.
