An honest review on Hyprland

[@kn4ughty]

This is more of a summary of what hyprland is not a review.

[@bakmanthetitan]

I feel it would be silly to make this review more opinionated or prescriptive. The pros and cons of a WM are essentially its set of features vs. its bugs and feature gaps. Anyone familiar with window managers in general would be able to estimate how this WM would fit their preferences, and someone lacking context couldn't make a great educated choice based on someone else's opinions anyway.

[@kn4ughty]

@@bakmanthetitan very true, but anyone in the Linux space I feel would probably already know what hyprland is, any anyone out of the Linux space probably wouldn’t want to use hyprland as their first wm. Even if nobody new what it was, my expectations for a video called an honest review was a review. Personal opinions about its usability, if it changed their productivity / workflow. What its negatives and positives are, not just like a feature list. I can go onto the wiki and read that for myself if I want. I want opinions

[@gizzmoguy.]

It probably was but it also was very helpful.

[@Radgerayden-ist]

They reviewed the features, honestly 😅

[@veritatas678]

Agreed. I could have read the hyperland documentation and gathered the same information. It would have been more helpful to compare it to another wm or at least show what the standout feature of hyperland is.

[@xrenynthemusicmage6422]

This is more of a starter guide for hyprland than a review, but it's still extremely useful and I don't regret watching it.

[@hayatasama2394]

this video was lowkey the best intruduction video to hyprland that I've ever seen!

[@ForeverZer0]

It should be noted that "Wayland will never replace X11" is already an outdated slogan. Fedora has already switched, and starting with the recent Plasma 6, Wayland is now the default session. I agree that X11 isn't going anywhere for a very long time (assuming the board can fill its empty roles), it will likely be around for many years or decades even, but all the "Wayland is the future" stuff people have been saying for years seems to be actually happening now. I made the switch from i3 to Hyprland about 6 months ago, and have had no major issues with any software, even X11 stuff that requires xwayalnd. There was some additional config required because of my NVIDIA card, but it is all well-documented.

[@notuxnobux]

For the majority of nvidia users it's still very broken, even when you follow guides etc because of the issue with explicit sync

[@Steam_VR]

@@notuxnobux I'm pretty sure that the explicit sync thingy has already been merged into Wayland. tl;dr, it's just a matter of time untill the DEs implement it.

[@frosty.archtide]

Wayland is really great except for NVIDIA. Wish I could switch, but I'm basically stuck on X11 until I get a Radeon card.

[@YoucefDAANE]

does that apply to any nvidia card , and what if i use the integrated intel gpu instead ?

[@ForeverZer0]

@@YoucefDAANE There are *some* NVIDIA cards that have problems, specifically with e-sync, though a PR that finally fixes this +2 year old issue was just merged into the staging branch of Wayland a few weeks ago, so not long until it is considered solved. Keep in mind that using Wayland/Hyprland with NVIDIA is typically not a problem with *most* NVIDIA cards, you simply have to jump through a couple extra hoops with the configuration when setting it up. This is usually just a matter of using the DKMS NVIDIA package, setting a kernel parameter in your boot loader. and defining a few environment variables. If you are exclusively using your integrated Intel graphics, then no, you would not have to worry about the NVIDIA issues at all, though that is not an ideal solution.

[@satria3001Al]

To me, this is the best explanation for Hyprland configuration. Thank you, Ampersand.

[@droydi]

Nice one, looking forward for more videos about your Nixos setup and experience, information and guides are appreciated. Keep up the good work on the channel.

[@linusgoblin]

Im so pumped up about the current linux desktop enthusiasm. Thank you for making these kind of videos. That matters!

love the inclusion of lemmino’s 3301 track. great video!

[@GabrielSykes]

Wayland has come a long way. I remember trying it a few years ago and it was completely unusable for me, many things were very broken, now I've done some dabbling in the last few months and it has improved substantially. I still think the DE devs that are making it the default and dropping support for X11 are doing so a little too early, it's still in a state of unusability for a lot of people, but it's also perfectly usable for a lot of others. Wayland will replace X11, that is inevitable, it's catching up really fast.

[@erder00rv]

wow, very deep analysis. really enjoyed the video. also, these dotfiles look sooo good

[@LouisReedijk]

I got some good pointers from this video, thank you!

[@peterjansen4826]

Hyprland does goed work but it also misses a few features which for me are essential: - integrated panel, when the panel is integrated it is just easier, I never have any issues with hiding the panel in dwm but I have noticed issues with that in other tiling window managers which either don't integrate it or which did not implement hiding (sway). - integrated systemtray, dwm kind of has it integrated, all you need to do to get it is automatically do that patch. It is the biggest patch so it is recommended to do that first - the tag-feature, it is incredibly productive to show more than one workspace and to pin a program to more than one workspace What hyprland does well: the animations. It feels more 'modern' because of that. Though I find it pleasant to see it I do prefer instant actions, so no animations, it is faster.

[@mono9613]

that anime girl thumbnail is super random, but it made me click and I didn't regret

[@no_name4796]

It's not random. It is (was, now they changed it) one of the default wallpapers you get on a clean install of hyprland

[@kn4ughty]

To be more specific the girl is called hyprchan lmao. She’s the offical hyprland mascot

hyprland-high ram usage?

[@zackolinko]

It doesn’t eat your ram from what a lot of people say me included.

[@debasishraychawdhuri]

one bug is that if you attach a monitor to your laptop and then disable it followed by your remove your hdmi cable, it internally breaks without telling you anything. If you reattach the hdmi and enable the external monitor again, the entire session crashes. The other problem is the lack of a lock screen that is stable enough wtih multiple monitors with the laptop's own monitor being disabled.

[@_regnar_4189]

I've tried a hyperland maybe 6 month ago and it was not grade, a lot of applications just didn't work, hyperctl didn't work, a media buttons to control sound didn't work, changing layouts from russian to english was terrible experience ever. Maybe i shoud give it a second chance now...

[@Linuxdirk]

I had the same bad first experience, but last weekend I migrated to Hyprland and it works without any issues except weird focusing of windows while being in a floating windows setup.

[@_regnar_4189]

@@Linuxdirk cool, but i prefer qtile now. I configured it at last week and it works fine. I have no thoughts to moving to Wayland from x11 while it works(i think it WILL works, Wayland is good, but not at all things). Major Wayland's problem is that it hasn't a lot of tools which x11 has. I mean about xclip, xkill and etc. for example i bind a key for xkill and can kill any process by it. On Wayland i should find additional software for this.... Wayland is not for me now, maybe later, when it'll have more window managers, I'll think about moving to it, but now
