Hyprland Rices and COSMIC First Look

[@OffroadTreks]

The cool thing about Cosmic is the team is building it for power users who sit in the middle of wanting customization and wanting it to just work so they can get shit done. Has a lot of potential.

[@chrislowles]

Cosmic being this relatively smooth on *Arch* is a very good sign.

[@NeftisIsHere]

and it wasnt even the latest commit

[@imaquackaholic]

System76 is doing a great job at making Linux more accessible to non-Linux users. Love them!

[@gresss]

Ol' Titus done goofed when he skipped the ML4W dotfiles. You can choose if you want to change your neovim config during install. Absolutely my favourite config of hyprland. Haven't touched anything else since I tried it.

[@TitusTechTalk]

Funny enough in the next livestream or two I find ML4W and it was a much better experience.

[@donaldwilliams6821]

@@TitusTechTalk Yeah Stephen made it much easier when he created the AUR packages. I don't love Appimages in general, but he makes them work well for Hyprland. No need to go edit config files by hand, for newer users that IMO lowers the bar to using Hyprland. I mostly use JaKoolit's because he support NIXOS, among other distros.

[@LosPompadores]

ML4W is my go-to. He's doing an amazing job

[@ShelbySann]

I actually daily drive a modified version of the Hyde (prasanthrangan) dots and it does take some time to get used to, but once you do and you get familiar with keybinds and their scripts for wallpaper, etc., it works very well. Completely replaced regular DEs for me. I tried using hprlock over swaylock but it has issues, and sometimes just doesn't wanna unlock, so you have to reboot. end-4's dotfiles were also on my radar but I liked Hyde better. People come up with such amazing rices!

[@Kermit2k]

Titus: Let me butcher these installation scripts I don't fully understand, before even giving it a try in a clean environment. Also Titus: How can this not work? Something so simple as the wallpaper. That's why i use DWM and xorg!

[@Drazil100]

I have been using cosmic since the pop 24.04 alpha dropped and I have been obsessed with it. As a Cinnamon user I never really liked tiling until Cosmic due to how much work they are to set up. Having Cosmic come reconfigured out of the box has made me love tiling. There are definitely a lot of bugs still left and features that are just straight up missing from some apps. For the most part though I think I am committed to cosmic going forward.

[@donaldwilliams6821]

re: VM Hyprland works great in a Proxmox VM. Also you can disable animations. 0.42+ builds seem to work even better in VMs also.

[@Johan87577]

"Going to wait for Cosmic to cook some more" Hey lets try Cosmic! ;)

[@zeocamo]

you need the xhost and xwayland for the blizzard to work, as chat told you that is true for any wayland.

[@jason.r9273]

These are entertaining to watch because I experienced the same things. I just had more time to figure them out.

[@adjusted-bunny]

Titus, I must warn you: You have a deadly enemy on YT. It is this guy: Dark1 Linux, Tech, Gaming. Be cautious because he looks dangerous.

[@Sargent-007]

YES! Hyprland Does Work in a VM, I have it running in one using QEMU no GPU pass-through, It does not like Hyprland out of the box but once I added Hyprdot to it, it works fine, not perfect but works well enough to try it out.

[@mckendrick7672]

I actually noticed the performance of Hyprland in a VM got better since he rewrote/detached from wlroots. You need Virtio 3D acceleration enabled iirc.

[@reep0074]

@@mckendrick7672 Not able to use 3d acceleration, but just added a second GPU, fingers crossed never done a pass-through before, should be fun :)

[@mckendrick7672]

@@reep0074 GPU passthrough is a completely different beast. You need a separate display cable, and you can't seamlessly switch between OSes because it's more like having a separate computer. The only exception is if you run looking glass with windows VMs.

[@Sargent-007]

@@mckendrick7672 Hey thanks for the heads up on that, just watching Titus set up Looking Glass or trying to lol

[@zeocamo]

the nwg suite of tools is great with hyprland nwg-bar is a good bar

[@RealWolfOfficial]

I know vaxerary personally because I met him on an Anarchy server in Minecraft.

[@andrejjezik6871]

Great vid. Vaxry reaction on Vaxry switching to hyprland ? :D

[@Nonsense_thepodcast]

Would love for you to try windhawk mods on Windows and see how far you could push them. Trying to make windows as close to your dwm setup as possible.

[@mcash2189]

the amount of time that system 76 has spent developing Cosmic you would think that the out of the box experience would at least look better than the gnome pop desktop

[@Drazil100]

Their goal is to have as much of a seamless transition for their users upgrading to pop 24.04 as possible (given the circumstances). I am sure they will develop their own style in time but for now they are intentionally copying Gnome's homework. A lot of people like and defend the look of Gnome and Gnome is what their users are used to. Creating their own style would not only waste brainpower that could be used to develop features, but runs the risk of people hating their style and sinking the whole project as a result. What they did is EXTREMELY sensible given the lofty goal they are trying to achieve.

[@glensumner3425]

I have hyprland running in vm (qemu) I a have my gpu active the GL in VM manager all good ( I used the ml4wdot) looking good..

[@gresss]

ML4W is pretty damn good

[@TimSedlmeyer]

Couldn't you just use ssh port forwarding to protect the lan mouse traffic?

[@nittani.]

Is it axyl

[@scientiac]

Try RIVER maybe if not Hyprland and you like dwm

[@SmartBoi42]

end-4's config is amazing, but I faced some issues with it. The lock screen sometimes stops working completely and I need to restart the pc, and some apps like google chrome which I use for my work just gets killed with no reason while using it.

[@ShelbySann]

Probably using hyprlock which is still quite buggy. Swaylock is much more stable for now, though hyrlock looks so GOOD.

[@mckendrick7672]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the lock screen problem is a general hyprlock problem. I don't use chrome so I can't speak for that.

[@Korodarn]

I tried cosmic and games didn't work on it well at all. Hyprland I have very little problems with. It has the occasional problem with a game and I'll go to i3, but cosmic just seems pointless unless you are a rust fanatic. (Running with a 4090)

[@mckendrick7672]

Cosmic is very early days still, so it wouldn't surprise me if Xwayland is just entirely unimplemented there.

[@mmstick]

@@mckendrick7672 Both XWayland and games definitely work. Make sure to update to the latest version.

[@nittani.]

Jammer is it jammer

[@callmethewarlock]

Sir, are you adding cosmic to linutil?

[@nittani.]

Yes add this

[@Noriaela]

It just entered its first public alpha state. Its unlikely cosmic will come to Linutil for a while.

Prashanth rangan dotfiles was not completed properly i guess. Because the files looked like it was from end4

[@matthewstott3493]

From the FAQ - Q: Your config is bloated A: Don’t run it on e-waste. Also firetruck minimalism, it’s actually called low-effort. 🤣 💀💀

[@yeahitsmesofkinwhat]

I don't think Titus knows what "YOLO" means. "We're just gonna yolo" *LITERALLY 5 SECONDS LATER* "I'm gonna change it" Titus may know a lot, but he's kinda dumb sometimes.

[@MrGFYne1337357]

This will fix `fish shell` Chris. Don't poo poo my Fish shell, use my script. Now Fish will not mess up. Your Welcome. :) #!/bin/bash echo "Which directory should I search to update old shell shebang's in?" read -re "directory" echo "Searching and updating files in $directory" grep -rIl --word-regexp "/bin/sh" "$directory" | while read FILE do sed -i 's|/bin/sh|/bin/bash|' $FILE done

[@MrGFYne1337357]

This changes all POSIX `sh` shebangs to `bash`. So for fish shell, #!/bin/sh is bad. My script changes all sh shebangs to one Fish can use. i.e. #!/bin/bash It's also in my repo's on github/webmaster-exit-1/sh2bash :)

[@mckendrick7672]

I refuse to use anything other than POSIX shell for my scripts. #!/bin/sh only. Nothing else.
