Hyprland might be better than everything else (just install it now)

There's a package called nwg displays. It will give you gui monitor settings. Also don't forget to source the monitor and workspace config file to hyprland

[@ForeverZer0]

Hyprland just gets better the more you use it. The initial configuration may be slightly overwhelming if you aren't used to configuring WM's, though the defaults are sensible for learning the ropes, and once you get the hang of it, it has so much potential for customization. All of the tools in the ecosystem are top-quality and fit with it very well.

[@super4nonymous]

@@ForeverZer0 Yes! I’ve found it’s even easier to be precise with config files compared to GUIs. Monitor config for example, I can specify with precision exactly where I want the screens to be. I have spent too much time on it already, but I’m convinced that once everything is how I want it to be, it’ll be hard to beat.

[@Polloten4ik]

bruh... 1:20 obs and 2 terminals use 3.25gb of ram? that's like half of my total ram :c

[@super4nonymous]

😅 I'm of the understanding that the dots I used (Hyprdots) are elaborate, and seem to have a lot of bells and whistles. I'm sure it can be tuned to use less. What are you using / what is your typical RAM utilization immediately after boot and during normal use? Also keep in mind, I was just using Cosmic DE, which seems to have some issues because it used at least 6GB at idle.

[@YouTubeConsumer997]

he has 32gb of ram so pc will use more because it can

Does hyprland work on 8 Gb ram?? I have only 16 Gb😂​@@super4nonymous

[@yaroslavmamykin981]

Writing my own window manager for myself which will support X11 and Wayland or any other platform appearing in future. Nice visuals on Hyperland, but I don't care, it is more about good windows placement for me :)

[@Epicalcom]

I am really interested in distros and stuff. I will get this os also, and I want to know something. Can all os be run on a pendrive without installing, like use another pendrive to store files and stuff?

[@super4nonymous]

@@Epicalcom Yes, but they may not all have a simple way of achieving that. Some distros will have that option built into the ISO. Arch really doesn’t, so you’d have to take some manual steps to make it happen.

[@thinkingfreely7399]

Love your rofi theme. Did it come with the hyprdots you installed?

[@super4nonymous]

Thanks! Yes, at the time of this video the Rofi configuration was 100% hyprdots.

Are you using the HYDE dotfile?

[@super4nonymous]

@@OpenSourceGuyYT Yes. As of this video, I had started making some changes to transparency and misc effects so it’s slightly different. Once I’m finished changing everything I’ll probably post the dots I actually use.

[@fossface]

I like hyprland, but I hate configuring bars. Definitely going to stick with cosmic once it is release ready.

[@super4nonymous]

I can't resist seeing such low RAM usage 🤤

[@RuneDShyznit]

Consider hyprpanel instead of waybar. It's config is a lot more GUI capable.

[@super4nonymous]

@@RuneDShyznit Thanks!

[@fossface]

@ I'll check it out.

[@ForeverZer0]

@@RuneDShyznit Can confirm. I was a long-term waybar user, but gave Hyprpanel a try recently when configuring a new machine, and I am never going back. While waybar has the potential to be have more customization, it meets all my needs, and I very much appreciate it bringing multiple systems (bar, notifications, dashboard, etc) together in a single cohesive application.

[@ClassifiedUnknown-zr2uh]

Half a year ago, I was running hyprland on arch linux. I have nvidia hardware, I had issues like blurry apps (xorg apps). You have a nvidia rtx4090 right? How is your experience with your hardware and hyprland? I have a nvidia rtx 3050 Ti laptop. Now I daily drive cachy os with Kde plasma.

[@super4nonymous]

Yea, a 4090. My experience has been great with the proprietary driver. I have tried using the open source driver, but I ran into issues with gdm/sddm starting upon boot (before I started using hyprland). I didn't troubleshoot too deeply before switching drivers. So I switched to the proprietary driver back then, and I haven't really had any issues, at all, since. I also use an AMD/Nvidia laptop, but I haven't installed hyprland on it yet. Perhaps I will make a video on it -- a few people have asked about this.

[@ClassifiedUnknown-zr2uh]

I will realy like to see a video you installing hyprland on your laptop. I will test to setup hyprland alongsite kde plasma with the dotfiles you use, the script is for a minimal system. So if something breaks I can recover from a snapshot I made before. Keep making videos! I want to see your channel grow.

[@Yelloween]

i want to use hyperland when i switch to arch, but I've heard that it has problems with nvidia. is that true?

[@super4nonymous]

@Yelloween I’m using it with only an Nvidia GPU (Desktop) and I haven’t had any issues.

[@super4nonymous]

@Yelloween This is probably important, I’m using the proprietary driver. In the past, I have had issues in Arch with the open source driver on both this desktop and an Nvidia laptop.

@super4nonymous thx

[@lilGyros]

the thing with the monitors is what brought me to installing nixOS with KDE Plasma... it was too much of a hassle for me, and because i am using dotfiles which are regularly updated i had to do it every other day... [saving the config wouldve been a smart move, but i am lazy af lol] still using hyprland on my Laptop tho, just one monitor, easy ^^

[@super4nonymous]

Yes! I almost gave up, but I think I get it now. I just installed on a laptop and I was able to configure an external monitor pretty quickly. It did take some time to figure out, but I think it was worth it. Also, in another comment someone mentioned there's a graphical utility, but I don't know much about it. I'm fine with using editing the config files now.

[@lilGyros]

@@super4nonymous thanks imma give that a try!

[@patrlim]

I had issue in running Arch with KDE desktop could not stream a game in discord, game would be unplayable, but I am running Cosmic desktop and was blown away works great! If you run into an issue remember there is a setting in Discord to make it so it does not use your GPU.

[@ChloeCake]

Before watching, I just wanna say I hate this title because the point of using Linux is that you get to do things the way you want, and I wanna use bspwm, and some people want to use Sway, most people are gonna use Gnome or Plasma, and that's okay, and I have no intentions of ever installing this thing on my machines.

[@super4nonymous]

After watching though, you’ll have been sucked into the black hole that is configuring Hyprland, only to return after writing thousands of lines into config files and typing into a transparent browser window while hotkeying between apps at 500APM.

[@ChloeCake]

Yeah, no, neat video, just the title I think is contrary to the entire point of Linux as a whole, and I'm still not gonna use Hyprland because as great as it looks, the developer gives me the heebie jeebies, and bspwm works great anyways, been carrying around the same config files for a year

[@super4nonymous]

Thank you for expressing your opinion respectfully and in a way that others (myself included) can benefit from. I’ll check bspwm out, before this I’ve avoided config-heavy solutions but now I see that it’s actually worth the effort.

[@atajanov_kamronbek]

@@atajanov_kamronbek Once I’m finished making customizations, I’ll add a link to the description. The version in the video is a slight variation of Hyprdots, which is currently linked in the description 👍

[@atajanov_kamronbek]

[@u0_a647]

I seriously don't understand all the blabber between Hyprland. It looks and works like any other WM apart from the animations. People on the Linux community act like Hyprland is some record-breaking piece of software that wouldn't make Linux what it is today, they even go out to the point where they convince newcomers that Hyprland is the epitome of Linux desktop (which is debatable) and people who don't use Hyprland are all noobs. The reason why I don't like anything Wayland or Hyprland is because of the community's infectious mindset of "hyprland good everything else bad".

[@super4nonymous]

@@u0_a647 🤷‍♂️I like animations. And while I do think Hyprland is good, I don’t think that makes anything else bad. I’ve made a few videos about how good Cosmic is, and other DEs definitely serve a purpose. Jumping on a hype train for the sake of attention or putting other things down is bad, I agree. That’s not what I’m trying to do here though 🙂

[@Luzum]

I'm literally waiting on my external hdd to arrive, so I can backup everything, reinstall windows, and start dual booting with an arch-based distro, and I plan on trying out Hyprland for the first time. stop spying on me !!!!

[@super4nonymous]

😄 So exciting. I'm about ready to finally erase my Windows partition (haven't used it in maybe a full year). Once I gave up games that require Windows, there was really no reason to use Windows any longer. And once you start configuring Hyprland, you won't have much time for gaming anyway.

[@svizid]

dwm and xmonad will always be better in terms of functionality, efficiency, freedom and extendability.

Interesting, I haven’t used dwm before. Does it have animations?
