[@nikichashadow]

bahahaha

[@skytale35]

i finally picked up a cheap amd gpu just to play with hyprland, I am glad I did. I am having such a blast with it. pywal + swww + waybar + kitty . . . and actual "rofi", runs just fine.

[@calholli]

When you have high testosterone.. it makes you bald. That's just how it is

[@skelebro9999]

I'm not ready for that nightmare of an episode.

[@aniruddh576]

never thought this day would come

[@usr-noft]

I would recommend replacing wofi with rofi-wayland. That way all of your existing rofi scripts should work. I also believe wofi is a dead project.

[@zirkoni42]

It's not

[@hasecilu]

wofi so painful to use, if you don't use the exact case spelling you don't get the app, all rofi utilities missing

[@AnkurAlpha]

It's not dead actually.

[@taylor85345]

Glad to see Hyprland getting some DT love. I've been daily driving it on my Nvidia laptop for 2 1/2 years now, and it's really cool to see how far the project has come.

[@LinuxRenaissance]

There is xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland package in Arch extras which is supposed to be more tightly integrated with Hyprland. wlroots portal will clearly work too, but for future compatibility I think it's safer to group Hyprland's family of tools as they develop further and possibly start differentiating from wlroots stuff in a breaking way.

[@TerminalzPain]

Been using hyprland since 555beta drivers, fell in love with it straight away!

[@Danielddiniz]

Nice 👍🏼 DT, please customize it and show us how you will theme Hyprland!!

[@DistroTube]

Already working on it.

[@luciengrondin5802]

I'm using hyperland on a laptop and I like how we can be minimalistic AF. In my opinion screen space is precious and I don't want to waste it even with waybar. Wofi and the terminal is basically all I need.

[@Goga_Batumsky]

Try i3

[@lauriran]

@@Goga_Batumsky i3 is great but it's for X11. Also it's equally minimalistic.

[@epixerty]

i mean if screen space is precious to you, you might as well just try a gapless window manager like i3

[@lauriran]

@@epixerty there's nothing stopping you from using Hyprland without gaps and borders.

[@epixerty]

@@lauriran yeah but that kinda defeats the purpose of hyprland, its more focused on aesthetics

[@mauroguarnieri635]

I'm so glad you finally got to try it out! I can't wait to see the next episode of hyprland!

[@mastershake2782]

I've been daily driving Hyprland for the past 3 years on an old T440p. I've had an AMAZING experience. The only issue I had was OBS, like you said, but everything else works.

[@jr_Linux]

hey DT you can use standard rofi because of the x11 compatability you don't need wofi, also theres a fork of rofi called rofi-wayland which uses your standard rofi config that i know you already have setup.

[@iTzJeSsE08]

Every time DT says "config" take a shot

[@AGentooUser]

You could use xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland instead of xdg-desktop-portal-wlr, according to the hyprland wiki it has more features and still compatible with other wayland compositors

[@PerfMonk]

The xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland portal should give you window sharing capabilities but I don't know about OBS since I don't use it. But its future seems dark since the developper (Vaxry) was kick out of the Freedesktop project ( (an umbrella project covering Xorg, Wayland, and many other core Linux Desktop projects) ...

[@umop3plsdn]

i've daily drove hyprland and been a supporter since August of 2022 and I can say I wouldn't use anything else.

[@ИльяПрохоров-б9в]

This is my first WM and I love it so much

[@moetocafe]

Looks like another nice rabbit hole to dig in :)

[@Hid4ri]

Yes DT! I have followed you for years, its so good to finally see you make the move to hyprland. Take a look at the hypr plugins and hyprpanel too, its really nice and becoming a really nice ecosystem. Have fun!

[@aumpauskar4653]

Daily driving Hyperland since last week, pretty fun and dare I say pretty easy for my first tiling WM

[@donaldwilliams6821]

I noticed your decoration shadow setting is the pre 0.45 spec. When you upgrade that will error you. it's moved to its own shadow subset

[@tenj00]

Some things to know on hyprland: - Screen Zoom and popup terminals with the pyprland program. - much more configurable than sway - harder to learn than sway - best source for help is the great wiki and discord group - active development and many upgrades could break your config in small ways - config file is written in its own language called hyprlang, that is very powerful (see wiki)

[@urriell_8069]

Thanks for this video. :)) Can't wait for the next one in this series xD

[@theycallmesloth]

wow submap is what i was looking for subconsiously, didn't knew it already existed

[@robinsonrom]

I'm a hyprland guy, once I found Rofi-wayland, I was all set. Wofi just doesn't cut it to me.

[@oglothenerd]

Same here bro.

[@vaayuo]

Looking forward to your complete config and your final thoughts on it

[@donaldwilliams6821]

Just in time for the 0.45 release that dropped today.

[@CyperN077]

I use the pre-configured April Lynn setup and decided that it was much easier for me to make a list of the programs that I needed + I didn't set up manually . I had to use keyd to enable accessibility, but other than that that's pretty simple and straightforward. I don't think I'll be going back to plasma anytime soon

[@Your_Degenerate]

The animations look slick. I'm also looking at LabWC for it's classic Openbox look. The Wayland forward is exciting.

[@HyenaEmpyema]

I have Nvidia but ran into a different problem I wanted to share: wayland itself is incompatible with cuda. So if you're doing GPU programming you cannot use hyprland

[@anonymouscommentator]

honestly nvidia has been working amazing on my hyprland setup for quite a few months now!

Welcome!

[@amanueltigistu8268]

such a great video, thanks.

[@oglothenerd]

OMG! Yes!

[@DiscoParachute]

[@oldbeardedtech993]

Considering all the other channels I follow have done hyprland videos, found it odd you hadn't. Tried it out 6 months ago and been my daily driver since. Interested to hear your opinion of it over the next few months

[@tdk0bob]

As a ununtu user yeah having hyprland in the repos now is very nice and i went ahead and build the spurce update from vax's git and loaded a bunch of the other nwg apps to flesh out the system.

[@Dratchev241]

welcome to the hyprland party

[@abdorithm]

Hyprland is incredibe. But it is still "not ready." idk if it is a wayland thing but so many things do not work out of the box like they would on X11. Discord screen sharing, OBS, Steam. With some tweaks (and time) I got them to work. The REAL deal breaker for me was when I fired up a VM on virtual box and tried to make it full screen. And it was just a black display. I went online and found no help. I switched back to xfce4.

[@infinitivez]

I found this very helpful, thx. My first delve into hyperland had me wondering if I was doing things wrong - good to know I'm not the only one who had initial issues with the nvidia segments. I've yet to go back since the driver updates, because I'm pretty sure it didn't fix issues with the 1070? That and I got really invested in KDE

[@victorjo7918]

On my pc games freeze on Hyprland even after using Nvidia driver 565 and searching for solutions online gets me nowhere.

[@DistroTube]

Yep, Steam is not working correctly for me. Some windows just open up an go crazy flashing on and off. So that's going to be a deal breaker for gamers.

[@pocketglove]

I loved using it, but before my first semester after summer break started i updated and it couldnt boot so i just moved to fedora for soemthing stable. Miss it a lot tho, amazing WM

[@wasymir9731]

hey DT what wallpaper are You using? It looks amazing. Is it some fractal or mandelbrot set?

[@moussaadem7933]

The Mandelbrot set is a fractal, it doesn't make sense to use "or" there. And the wallpaper is obviously not the Mandelbrot set

[@tailsorange2872]

Hey DT, when would you create HyprTube now that you have Hyprland????

[@LuisRoel]

I've been trying hyprland...I can't get the clipboard to work properly when pasting between web browser and kitty. I can't drag and drop files either. I also can't get wake from suspend to work properly...my monitor says "no signal detected" :/ Besides that, its pretty awesome.

[@jmz8086]

One word for ya DT: ML4W! hahaha. It's awesome. For hyprland I mean. Try it!

[@samoylov1973]

How do you make area screenshots in Hyprland? How do you split terminal windows and if you wish, put those splits in tabs? We are not talking about Tmux or spawning new windows. Just simple plain terminal. And in this terminal how do you make paddings, so that your text is not glued to top or left borders. There are many "How do you..." and how to set it to a workable condition. As for me I prefer borderless, titleless and buttonless (kill, minimize, maximize) DE. All is ruled by hotkeys. Like in "proper" tiling WMs. But this setup is done in pure minutes, works like a Swiss clock and is nice and minimal KDE 🐧

[@blahblahblah1787]

I tried Hyprland but I'm good on living in config files. Maybe this was just a moment in time but it seemed like every update would break the prior config file. Cosmic OS tiling just works and doesn't have any the issues I had with Hyprland.

[@parthparmar9798]

Hey dt, how do you configure your various window managers to share same password storage? I am trying for a week as of now to get the password store and browser session synchronised with kde and hyprland. But as always, not a single seek of hope

[@LinuxRenaissance]

Oh my, DT on Wayland!

[@psychopath_syd]

Hey DT, I was using Conky on hyprland without any issue then it just vanished without trace. Can you try it or show us some alternatives?

[@erics7004]

DT is now a hypruser, btw.

[@Soccera0]

DT, you can use rofi-wayland if you prefer rofi over wofi. It's just rofi but wayland compatible.

[@metalnwood]

I have been on awesome for some time, was on xmonad prior but even though I am a coder it required too much effort for me to understand Haskell to do things. I am not a lua guy either but lua is easy to roll with if you have coding experience. A couple of weeks ago I thought that I should see the current state of wm's under wayland as I was still on X11. Hyprland stuck out as a dynamic tiler. I used some scripts I found on the net to install on fedora and it worked perfectly on a raspberry pi which I used for a test, then my laptop and then my dual monitor desktop. I am liking it a lot, it is giving me the layouts that I want and only thing that required some help was to get discord working under wayland, which is not a hyprland issue. I will be sticking with it, it looks nice, is easy to configure and has moved me to wayland.

[@d1m18]

So this is HOW TO INSTALL Hyperland? Not showing day one?

[@Skelterbane69]

Hyprland is one of the best reasons to use linux, imo.

So, you use an OS so you can use a WM? I don’t get this, really.

As a beginner, this looks like more trouble than it is worth and not really digging the interface. Me personally, I would rather just install a DE and it work right out of the box.

Hey, DT. Not many people are talking about it, but what are your thoughts on the NixOS situation? I know this topic will open up a can of worms, so you can just not answer if you don't want to. I personally think bringing personal politics into Linux is just a bad idea.

Had no clue what hyprland is about and looked it up. Imo kinda bloat and reminds me of the compiz days in x11. My goto has been to disable all kinds of animations, even on Android, gets me the speed and battery life. Just my humble thing, I do agree it looks very pretty! Hyprland - an independent tiling Wayland compositor written in C++. Noteworthy features of Hyprland include dynamic tiling, tabbed windows, a clean and readable C++ code-base, and a custom renderer that provides window animations, rounded corners, and Dual-Kawase Blur on transparent windows.
