Thanks for the coverage! Hyprland is definitely not for everyone, but once you get your configuration down, unless you have that urge to change it every day, it just keeps working for you. I haven't really revamped my config in more than 2 years probably. And yea, you need a bit of experience with Linux and patience, especially in reading wikis and/or searching stuff online :) Currently hyprland is in a massive transition away from wlroots (a pretty big library) so some new bugs do crop up here and there, (like some with steam like you mentioned, which is a notorious PITA) but I am working around the clock to get them squashed day by day.

I've tried many tiling window managers but Hyprland is probably the first one where I could easily find my way around and get something working in a matter of 10-15 minutes. And it looks insanely good too! Really can't wait to see where Hyprland will go in the coming years. Thanks for your hard work!

[@no_name4796]

Great video for all Hyprland beginners. Thanks for sharing and supporting the Hyprland community.

[@alexgghlebg5375]

It's true that you need to learn how to manage tiling windows, but what you didn't mention is that it is possible to set a window as floating, change its order, or even create profiles for an app in Hyprland. I have a profile set on virtual desktop 4, in floating mode, with dimensions of 800x800 for my terminal. I can change this by simply clicking SUPER+left click, then dragging in the direction I want to shrink or extend, and it updates the size automatically. This tool has been essential for years because I work a lot with terminals. A DE that adapts to my heavy terminal use is something I don't find as efficient in non-tiling DEs.

[@patrickprucha5522]

I find that when you start configuring the tiling windows managers, you fall into a rabbit hole and then you find yourself spending a lot of time for configuration changes.

[@MichaelNROH]

Yeah, I'm actually afraid of that. If I am working on my computer and I quickly want to add some functionality, it always ends taking longer, because a more ideas come up

[@no_name4796]

Honestly yes. But after a month, i found i already had a pretty good config of hyprland and now i am real fast. It's like vim: you need to find a customization you like, and then you get fast It's an investment

[@gamingandanime9000]

And you will never be happy - no matter what! Other people configs and setups will always be more amazing that it will makes you think that maybe going for i3 or dwm is a bad choice or maybe I should try other distros for that feature.. The thing about linux is that you can do so much that you can never be satisfied it is a deep and pretty tiring rabbit hole....

[@nutelhere]

Yes, that. Or you can stick to something like gnome and suffer forever.

[@patrickprucha5522]

I don't think i would ever use Gnome. I don't know. I just don't like it. I am using kde and its much simpler out of the box then gnome. For me any ways :)

[@Ja.KooLit]

if youre 1st time WM user, for sure, you will need to spend some time reading the wiki for tinkering. But hyprland has a really good wiki. And once you got the work flow, you dont really need to keep changing settings unless of course you want to tinker / tweak it. PS, as I couldnt attached a link here, there is a small wiki on that dots . and also, for a quick edit, launch SUPER E SUPER H for the hints incase you change the waybar config and also, since youre not a WM user, would be really nice to get your opininion on how to improve the dots youved use here :)

[@onred_]

I knew it was your dots! They looked so familiar. I’ve been following your install scripts for awhile now. Great work!

[@gorrumKnight]

Hyprland has become my daily driver and I can't go back man. So far I really like the dots from Stephan Raabe, his ML4W config is really slick and there's a good community around them.

[@erb34]

Pop OS mixes tiling and floating windows well

[@no_name4796]

Yeah, honestly it's sad they're the only DE which does tiling well enough And one thing i like about the new cosmic DE is that the settings are all in text files, thus it's crazy easy to export your configuration. Gnome and kde both have lots of settings in databases, which there is no way to export

[@alicethegrinsecatz6011]

Nah, not that well. I come from Pop!_OS to Fedora and one of the first things was installing pop shell but I like to switch to Hyprland depending on my work. Hyprland makes a better job. But I think that the new Cosmic environment will replace GNOME for me in the next two years and maybe it will make Hyprland obsolete for me.

[@bobbybyrne1899]

Been using the pre-released alpha of the cosmic de and the tiling is even better. My only complaint is the resize keybindings.

[@jeremybowden3134]

Hyprland floats windows with a press of a key and they can also be resized

[@bobbybyrne1899]

I gave it a try recently. It was interesting but for me it's only a sandbox for customization. I'm using linux on my both systems laptop and desktop and i prefer to USE those but not configure all the time. Of course if this is your hobby to configure/customize days and days then yeah, that a good thing. People always claim that this will improve your developer workflow but all they show is how fast they move their windows around 100 times. Im a developer and my workflow do not consist only of this XD. Imagine how long u have to work to barely cover that time u spent on configuration with time u "saved" on moving windows. No offense, it is a nice piece of software and i glad that people like it. The best thing is to have a choice.

[@shadowseek27]

hyprland was dope...wrote everything from scratch, and it was a pain in the ass to read all the docs of waybar, kitty, hyprland, hyprlock, sddm, and a bunch of other bs, but it was sick in the end, and im happy with it (anyone that wants to do this make sure to backup all your config files with stow and git or something similar so you can save everything)

[@jhonyortiz5]

I think this might have scared some people away. But here is the thing to remember, you can install hyprland along side your preferred DE, kde, gnome, etc... So you can go in and out of hyprland when you want to try something and use your other DE when you still need it.

[@quademasters249]

This. I see nothing here that makes me want to use it.

I believe @Ja.KooLit deserves more credit for this. First, you have showed a link of HyprV4 3:34 , which is NOT JaKoolit's project but you didnt post JaKoolits projects (Arch and Fedora) anywhere on your video including on the description. but most of the videos including Hyprland configs youve used, there are no links to it. So I really think he deserve more credits for it. We are just lucky cause he try to share to us those scripts, which I think easy to understand, and follow and he does not restrict us from configuring for our own benefits. Sure its not a top notch great looking ricing compared to end-4 and prasanthrangan's and even ML4W's but JakooLit's configs is not complicated compared to those 3 I mentioned

If you want, I think you can convert KDE into tiling window manager like hyprland or sway. I would rather stay in KDE because of its excellent support of XWayland apps on fractional scaling, and helps you to tinker a lot of things on GUI, such as if you unplug your AC adapter, you can tell KDE to use power saver mode, run custom scripts, use certain level of brightness and much more! Even tough GNOME is touch friendly, I use KDE and nowadays KDE touch makes more sense than GNOME.

[@MichaelNROH]

I don't think that you can properly tile in any Desktop Environment unless it's properly implemented by themselves. Too many variables changing otherwise. It's why many anticipate Cosmic, which has a heavy focus on it.

[@G-3-A-R-Z]

KDE is so much heavier that it will never be like a tiling manager. KDE is about flash and making thing look good with animations. Not productivity, like keyboard driven WM.

[@DestaleClyde]

i did that with my kde thanks to "Krohnkite" (a kwin script). I have a hyprland session too that took hours to set up but in the end i prefer my set up on kde: Some things "just works" (ex: swap to dedicated GPU on my laptop when needed) without having to install more stuff and tinkering with it. Of course kde is heavier but if you are on a modern pc, you wont feel really the difference and with one or two plugins you get the same animation/window decoration as Hyprland (no title bar, border with custom color around the actif window, etc...)

[@vaisakh_km]

@@DestaleClyde isn't Krohnkite dead? last time i checked we had to use polonium...

[@no_name4796]

The only desktop environment with builtin tiling support is pop os (it's one of the biggest selling point of system76 distro, honestly) Gnome may have some extensions for tiling, but you can't customizaze keybinding, or basically any of the billions of options you have in a tiling wm. Kde is similar (hopefully tiling becomes a goal for the next two year project of kde)

I've been on Hyprland since Nvidia dropped the 555 beta and it has been really solid. Threw all the Nvidia fixes in the wiki at it and even resuming from sleep works with no issues. Zero issues with running games fullscreen. I would recommend that new users stick with the default config and go from there, those over-engineered ones with tons of files just make it more difficult for no tangible gain. Pick a bar, any bar, install it and try the default config. Same for a launcher. I've gravitated towards AGS and fuzzel.

[@aminrazeghi2962]

Really? I configured hyprland from scratche around a year ago. But I'm using it less and less because of the graphical glitches I experienced in wayland. If a new driver is as good as you say, I'll be back to hyprland and ditch kde x11.

Evey day all day. Even one i dont like. Hyprland rocks now that its been worked on for a wile.

even apple is now started to think about tiling..

[@no_name4796]

Sway or hyprland though. The others are either x11 (so basically should not be used, if you like not having an obvious and massive security black hole), or not good enough. And sway needs a script to have a layout manager, so the choise is kinda obvious Vaxry really is the 🐐

[@drubizzy]

They are just so trash by default on ultrawide or super ultrawide 32:9 monitors where you literally NEVER want a maximized window. I do like using Kzones on KDE though so I can use configs to slice my monitor up and then either assign apps to the zones or just let KDE remember the last zone an application ran in. Also giving you a mouse or keyboard option to drop an application into a specific zone. Its a best of both worlds option.

I think people are often too intimidated by certain distros and environments. My first distro ever was arch with kde, and despite a slight learning curve, I really had no issues. Eventually, I explored hyprland and still use it to this day. So, don't be too afraid to try new things unless you have very little experience with computers.

[@jongeduard]

Watching this channel for the first time. Looks beautiful and people on YT talk a lot about it, and tiling window managers in general. I have never explored any tiler myself yet, and actually I'm just in the progress of migrating from Xfce to Plasma, which are both kind of my favourite desktops now. Actually I have both now. But since I mostly use Arch it sounds definitely attractive that Hyprland has explicit support here. Maybe one day I'll give it a try too. Are there people on this planet who still use things like Openbox or Fluxbox actually?

I switched from windows to arch with window managers like BSPWM, Awesome WM etc and have been on Hyprland since they released it. I tried to jump back into a desktop but just can't do it anymore. It just seems far more efficient in every way.

[@MichaelNROH]

It technically is, but it's not suited for for every workflow. An example, I myself like window animations since they look nice and keep my flow at a steady and consistent pace. Other's find this repellent since there is no instant feedback. Preferences are different, and so is working with a WM

[@riseabove3082]

Waybar is the top bar. Waybar. You can add all those separate config files into the main hypr config file if you prefer.

[@blackchristiangeek]

Thanks for the tips. Although I staying to use Wayland more, I keep running back to back X11 because of missing features and functionality (e.g., text expansion). Again, thanks and God bless

[@johanngambolputty5351]

Sure, you do need to install a few packages: hyprland, waybar, swaylock, etc... but you only really need to copy yourself a waybar preset. The default hyprland config file is pretty good to start with. With the simpler/readable default config, its also more feasible to bring it up directly instead of a cheatsheet (for keybindings). Edit: Also I'm not sure what you mean about having to use the command line? For editing configs? You can open something like kate if you want to edit text in that for example. Were you using a runner? There's wofi, anyrun and I'm sure others...

i loved hyprland but i had way too many resolution issues in video games. even games that ran natively on linux had issues that made them unplayable. i tried a lot but couldn't fix it unfortunately, though i was using a nvidia card. i ordered an amd card just today. ready to fully make the switch to linux

I love hyprland and I would absolutely use it if it worked better for me. Wayland in general still is a huge problem for me, as I have an NVidia GPU. There were still massive stuttering problems for me in the browser which then were fixed in the 555 driver nvidia-beta update, but that introduced new problems. I also use a large TV via HDMI as my main display which isn't properly recognized and turns off most of time, when I log into hyprland. I got it to work from time to time, but this problems is also not fixed for me yet. Steam also wouldn't launch games properly. I will definitely keep trying to fix it, but i3 with x11 just works once properly set up. I really hope that in the future there will be better support for NVidia with hyprland once the new drivers go into the standard repository. If you have similar problems and have found a fix I would be more than thankful if you could share your solution and try it out :D

[@WMan37]

I've always wanted to try hyprland but I would want to install it next to KDE Plasma in SDDM so I can occasionally dip my toes in before fully submerging in window management and I worry that'd break things on KDE or vice versa. I also heard a while back it's not as pleasant of an experience with nvidia cards as it is on AMD cards, but that might have changed since. I just need an opportunity where I can gain confidence using a window manager in general, cause I once tried i3-gaps in a VM and it felt very clunky to me. Also, since I do play video games, it would suck to have to set up a gamescope command for literally every game, I love gamescope, I think it's a linux killer app, but mainly for older games that have resolution issues, not something I'd want to set up for every game.

[@joshua_lee732]

Why did you use sudo to edit a config file in your home directory?

[@cartiercaper6629]

Hey so I’m teaching myself how to code Js and then learn things like this. Can anyone offer free resources or help point me in the right direction please and thank you. I’m doing my own research but asking around can’t hurt.

[@ego5267]

How about hyprland for gaming? Does it affect it?

[@Your_Degenerate]

I wonder if anyone has tried making an Arch container to run Hyprland or other WM in.

[@MichaelNROH]

Containers are not very suited to running a complete Desktop, unless you don't run anything else on the host which is graphical.

[@VanshKabra]

is it also applicable on ubantu 22.4 if not then is there any method

[@mats4554]

On old pc is it still better to use xorg than wayland? Last time I tried I got awful input lag and washed out colors compared to xorg

[@DavidMadeira29]

I'm not a flying dutch guy, but KDE Plasma was a simpler concept to understand. Namastè.

[@xmeo209]

I've actually tried it about 2 weeks ago but ended up going back to budgie because of certain issues. (The entire OS just crashing without any logs whatsoever) I will try to get back to it soon though.

[@maximogatica5028]

hi dude, great video! i'm new to hyprland, could you share what waybar and app launcher you use, they look awesome!

[@MichaelNROH]

I linked the scripts in the description

[@Smoonwalkerm]

My notebook has nvidia chip...and my second monitor is not being detected when I use hyprland...on normal x11 manjaro works awesome!...dont know how to fix this :(

[@notuxnobux]

The irony that you mentioned wayland is more secure and showed a clip of screen recording is that on hyprland (and other wlroots based compositors) is that any application can record the screen without any user permission or popup, just like on x11.

[@shock59]

When I used Hyprland it had a popup to request permission to record the screen.

[@NotTheGaslighter]

I was fairly sure I had to use a desktop portal to do that, but okay???

[@gigalodon14]

Hyprland is imo the best tiling wm in terms of ease-of-us (if you don't count pop-shell) and convenience but I will wait until it gets more stable and the new bugs popping up with every new update become less, because that was annoying. Vaxry is doing an amazing job tho and unlike other developers of a certain desktop doesn't disregard every request with "why would you even do it"

[@not_amanullah]

next i3, awesome and dwm

[@middyjohn]

People who uses email apps and wants to try out hyprland while keeping KDE or another DE need to know how to configure their password manager app like kwallet or gnome keyring should they break. I had problems where mailspring hates kwallet and when I fixed that, going back to KDE, mailspring fail and other email apps on that just unable to work anymore no matter what. Thats my skill issue tbh but hopefully I can warn the unsuspecting newbies

[@rafaelmorales1926]

Oh, I don't know how accurate the 'Debian 12 won't build' comment was. I was pretty successful building Hyprland on Debian 12 multiple times, at least as far as I remember... Though it might have been on Debian Sid too?

[@MichaelNROH]

Hyprland doesn't build at all on stable. 12 is not SID, neither Testing.

[@RootsterAnon]

I had a chance to try and install hyperland (hypr) on my pc but after around 1h of trying out shortcuts and trying to start my usual workflows I have switched back to i3. As much as hypr looks cool it is slower then i3. I still prefer i3.

[@LabelsAreMeaningless]

Love the info you share, but the unnaturally timed voice tone changes make it hard to focus. I'm sure you don't speak that way normally.

[@iusearchbtw69]

If only wayland could properly import gtk and qt module for my fcitx, i would be switching to wayland long time ago...

[@henriquepicanco97]

Now I'm looking for the best file manager to use with Hyprland (GUI), and I'm thinking between Cinnamon's Nemo, GNOME's Nautilus and KDE's Dolphin. I like GTK and Libadwaita, but I'm not entirely sure about using Nautilus, Nemo seems OK and Thunar seems so poorly done next to those three others...

[@minion3806]

Nautilus and Dolphin have theming issues unless you tweak them a bit. Nautilus doesn't follow dark mode theming out of the box on hyprland, and dolphin's breeze icon theme looks awful on hyprland imo

[@necuz]

Thunar's solid in my experience, not many dependencies and it has a daemon mode for auto-mounting USB drives.

[@MichaelNROH]

In my opinion it depends on what you use it for. Dolphin has much more customization and looks a bit more "traditional' while Nautilus has the much better Network Share integration with gvfs.

[@henriquepicanco97]

@@MichaelNROH Maybe I'll opt for Nautilus. Not because of the network tools exactly, but GNOME applications without a close button seem to adapt to a tiled window manager, their applications are prepared for a small vertical display… And I was already looking for GNOME anyway, if I didn't choose to use Arch with Hyprland I was already looking to install Arch with GNOME. (GNOME with the Forge plugin isn't looking bad for me, now...)

[@henriquepicanco97]

@@minion3806 This is what I was looking for: the question of how they would be integrated into Hyprland. KDE had already tried, they look "off" without some configuration. Maybe the dark mode setting in Nautilus is easy to get around (I suspect it's editing some GTK configuration file, but I'll do more research).

[@ultraprimez]

How to use dot files with hyprland ? If we compare Open Suse (Leap) vs Fedora which is better in latest update and security ?

[@habios]

I'm using hyprland on Fedora, and it currently has version 0.41.1, which is upstream. So it's updated in the official Fedora repo.

[@xavi_6767]

You really don't need to customize a tiling window manager if you dont want to. That is after you have customized your tiling window manager for 2 years straight.

[@no_name4796]

Nah a month is already enough to be happy about the configuration. Honestly it was harder for me to customize waybar to my likings, hyprland was pretty fast to configurate

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

​@@no_name4796if you already know what you want (like if you are migrating from a wm to another new wm), its much easier.

[@alpacamale2909]

I don't like the idea of not nowing the size of a program. I normally resize them to the size I want them to be and alternate them with alt tab. This hyperland stuff is tedious and gimmicky

[@TheMathues123]

It's not for beginners, but how can anyone stop being a beginner if they don't try? Just install and learn how to use this.

[@giulioluizvalcanaia]

Hyprland with the new 555 nvidia drivers will be awesome!

[@habios]

It is, try to install it now or wait till the official 560 stable version.
