Installing Debian "trixie" + Hyprland

[@TrustJesusToday]

After installation of Open Suse and Hyprland (Wofi, Waybar, etc.) I saw your video. I am a Debian fan and really would love a Hyprland option when installing Debian. In the meantime, Hyprland is a blast.

[@phonewithoutquestion80]

Nice to see you around! Really, I think Debian Sid/Trixie is the only *comfortable* way to use minimal Wayland compositors on a Debian machine. Everything is moving too fast to be worth even one build of wlroots behind everyone else. Building from source works, but on a stable release like Debian Bookworm, you run the risk of fragility where it can bite you in the long run. So, I would personally stick to BSPWM or i3 on Debian 12.

[@jazztrashassassin7093]

Do we need to make settings in Debian? After installing

[@colbybraden]

awesome vid! Bookworm is so stable and good it would be hard to leave that :) but really cool getting hyprland going in trixie ;)

[@MichaelChristoffersen]

Finally a "howto" that doesn't take an hour to watch like most of the others. 10min if you skip the debian install. Very nice!

[@ffiloi]

Super helpful, I'll be sure to follow this tutorial as soon as I get my new pc! First time using a window manager

[@edbeckerich3737]

I installed Sway in Debian Bookworm, didn't work very well. My heart did scream TESTING!!! But my Debian Bookworm is my mainstream...I am now enjoying Qtile Wayland in Arch, configuring it a lot like DTOS

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Thanks for sharing!

[@solidus1983]

I sub'd just because of Debian as i have been trying to get hyprland working since forever without luck.

[@filipealves2501]

Once you install through Expert mode, jump to Execute a shell after Configure the package manager. Chroot into target and modify sources.list from there. Then go back Select and install software, you will finish the installation straightforward into Testing/Trixie.

[@fuguimashu]

wow ! Excellent video!!! I really like your channel, thank you!

[@MendenLama]

One comment on stable vs. testing: recently, I was trying Trixie + Openbox in a vm. It appeared that lxappearance was crashing all the time (obconf wasn't doing better). To set up the gtk themes I had to grab the sources and dependencies of lxappearance and recompile the whole thing. After that it worked. As for a Hyprland setup on Debian: one has to consider that there is stuff not packaged by Debian. So you cannot simply do an apt update + upgrade. You have to fetch the git sources and compile them again everytime Hyprland gets a new version number. So this is not for the lazy type of a guy.

[@donaldwilliams6821]

Thank you for this. curious, not criticism, why you didn't start with a testing net install ISO to save time / effort having to upgrade to 'testing' Not a big deal since install was so minimal Until debian gets farther along (IMHO) Running hyprland on Debian is fun and entertaining but not as daily driver. Which is too bad A video on building a waybar from scratch might be very popular. I grabbed one of mine but found that some things like nwg-drawer don't seem available for Debian Update: the source for nwg-drawer compiled ! So it's good start You shoud try that on future videos and setting up sway notification center It is years ahead of DUNST or MAKU Thats my next goal

[@0xac829]

Would love to see you configure SDDM in a future video.

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Noted!

[@anadolijamajh4181]

Thank you for your video. Its excellent

[@iogilarb]

Since Debian launched Bookworm, I switched to Debian. But why? Because the older versions were not suitable for me. Only the Bookworm version sparked my interest.

[@raughboy188]

Hypr-land works just fine even on bookworm

[@HyperspaceQ]

Excellent! Thank You!

[@GreyHazRoot]

I'm a Debian guy also (even named one of my pups Debian). Do you get any weird messages in blue when you boot up Trixie? I normally use Testing but the new blue messages sent me back to Bookworm out of instability fears. I think it may be related to the plymouth package but I'm unsure.

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Only used testing today so not a good judge.

[@busterbrown8830]

Yes - get them all the time on boot-up. Wonder if they are good or bad?

[@lennoxnicklas4466]

Ur the best I salute you 💪💪💪💪👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Chris-ip8uv]

I’m surprised you didn’t do dwl

[@andrewsong7760]

out of curiosity (as a linux noob), how did you suss out the dependency list for hyprland on debian? i couldnt see anything in the installation guide on the hyprland website regarding debian installation, and I also noticed the dependency list you used is different than the one they provided for ubuntu. edit: or is it, barring the wayland dependencies?

[@roguenetworkengineer4673]

Good video as always sir, have you thought about doing a Hypr install, for the people who are not ready to move to Debian Testing or Wayland

[@gustavosicardi8855]

Great, I'm going to try Hyprland again since I tried it a year ago and I loved it, but there were certain complications with the use of some applications (libreoffice for example). I hope they have been resolved. Greetings and thanks for the video.

[@gamingwithrafi4895]

How did you download the iso ? did you select the weekly build one?

[@MicaelshGherman]

When You install trixie, doesnt change debian to hyprland, still said debian

[@MarsBarBS]

Не работает ваш скрипт автоустановки. На 04-hyprland постоянно какие то ошибки, сразу он не мог создать каталог wayland-sessins, а потом вообще выдал поочередно makefile error 1, makefile error 2, makefile error 1

[@abhra-linux]

Nice one❤

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Thanks 🔥

[@diabeticnomad]

I need more of this. Is it possible to install on a t480?

[@ashtondrye102]

works!

[@dzakisan7945]

What version of Hyprland would this install?

[@bahaa13v]

does it works on debian 32bit?

[@JustAGuyLinux]

doubtful.

[@zabka-me1vr]

what to do if after rebooting and entering user (choose Hyprland) i got black screen and after it close and show me sddm again?

[@BedlessBlade]

Same issue here

[@sailoukik269]

Mine is stuck at the login screen help please

[@italiatroller4793]

Imma install hyprland on my laptop using this script

[@nguyenthien7414]

I got error run 01 dependency Libavcodec-dev depends libavcodec60 and libavformat-dev depend libavformat60 error😢

[@JustAGuyLinux]

I could not replicate the issue.

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Are you running on raspberry pi? Weird.

[@psychosomatic7035]

I was having the same problem, after I changed to the testing/trixie. sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade Restart and it was working.

[@spicynoodle7419]

Doesn't make sense to use Hyprland on an ancient distro. The devs even recommend to compile it from git because it's being updated very frequently

[@folksurvival]

Trixie is not an ancient distro it's the current testing branch of Debian.
