Here's some things I would love to see you tackle in other videos. What do you use for wifi and network management (is nm-applet the only available solution? It's pretty dated)? What do you use to add and connect to VPN's (specially openVPN and Wireguard ones)? What do you use for bluetooth? Do you have an easy way to toggle between performance/balanced/power save modes like in Gnome? What about night light?

[@Sezaru]

One more thing, I know it is still in alpha, but what are your opinions in the Cosmic Desktop? I was an awesome user but now I'm just using vanilla Gnome and miss tiling window a bit, so I was thinking about switching to Hyprland, but now I wonder if I should wait for Cosmic since it would give built-in options for all the questions I did in the above message

[@idkwhatimdoingatall]

Great video, I love how you simplify everything! Could you explain how to configure clipman or another clipboard manager? I'm also having difficulty changing what apps get launched for certain system calls (like a file picker) and suspect I have to do some configuring somewhere to get a consistant look for that.

[@cevmantius]

I think the issue with this setup things are too much dependent to each other especially colors. For example if i want to change my wallpaper i have to setup the colors again. To me making wallpaper and theme agnostic setups are more important. Dwm btw

[@typecraft_dev]

I don’t disagree

[@minecraftpufferfish9066]

There are also other solutions for this. You can use something like pywal or wallbash. I'm not really sure if that works on DWM bc of the way it's configured, but it certainly does on other WMs

[@bebGBL-b6j]

you can reload all the app configs when changing the wallpaper. This is done through running pywal color generation to a script upon changing the wallpaper (swww or similar). Make sure the apps have the templates for that pywal imported in their configs

[@owlmostdead9492]

Imagine all the maintainers of each individual piece would come together and make a desktop that comes OOB like this. I'd switch immediately.

[@pthsawas]

That is precisely the point of OOB "just works" distro like mint, pop, debian and whatever. The philosophy of arch and to an extent, hyprland, is that you choose what you want and configure it to fit your specific style and improve your work flow. If you are bent on using these tools but dont want to customise them to look good yourself, no shame in that. There are plenty of dotfiles and installation guides for you to follow. But if you are not willing to learn and config stuff yourself that does mean you will have to adapt to the creator's configuration and keybinds, etc. If you just want easy to configure eye candy DE, then use kde and for tiling just use tiling script or install something else yourself.

[@owlmostdead9492]

@@pthsawas I think you completely missed what I was trying to say

[@pthsawas]

@@owlmostdead9492 can you elaborate furthur? All of the components that are responsible for the looks are from the same maintainer, the hypr ecosystem. Only exception is the waybar, but hyprpanel is now out too. Their philosophy is to make them as customizable as can be. And for the OOB experience, an install script can basically do that.

[@owlmostdead9492]

@@pthsawas Not shipping good defaults is what I meant, IMO it's just wasting user's time. Having good defaults also doesn't mean it has to be less customisable. It just means you're saving 99% of your userbase unnecessary tinkering. Best example I could think of is KDE, it's not bad but it ships with the worst defaults.

[@Nick-wy2ee]

Hi! First of all, thank you for your videos, they are very good for linux beginners. You mentioned in the video that you basically do all that from your laptop. Can you mention what model is this? You see, I have a laptop myself, and I have some problems. I recently started streaming, and for that I need to have a hardware video encoding. Since I have an nvidia card in my laptop, I installed proprietary drivers, which allows me to use NVENC in OBS. The problem is: I didn't find any information on how to use both iGPU from my intel CPU and discrete nvidia GPU. The thing is, I need to connect external monitor to my laptop, and the way things work is: iGPU is processing laptop display and nvidia GPU is processing external HDMI output. On x11, at least on wiki, there is an example of how to use some tool technology called `prime` to make two cards cooperate with each other. I've tried it, basically I render everything on nvidia GPU and offload rendered stream to iGPU, and it works pretty fine. Except that this is still x11, and I was using wayland for years before that (to be honest it was nouveau drivers, since I didn't need anything heavy on linux). On wayland, there is not much info how to offload video stream from one GPU to another, only how to use one or the other. So, following wiki, if I choose one GPU or the other, only external or internal display works, other display (depends on which GPU I chose with DRI_PRIME env variable to start wayland) as well as other GPU is not present anywhere on the system, it isn't recognized by any output-related tools, it doesn't show in anywhere in /sys directories and so on and so forth. So my question is: what's your laptop's discrete GPU, how did you manage to make OBS work with hardware encoding and both internal and external display working. Or you just use nouveau drivers on laptop itself and simply output with something like capture card on your other PC that actually encodes everything?

Hmmm, running waybar like that in the back... Is that the way to do things or you just wanted to run in background temporary? Also is there a reason you are relying so much on yay? Are the packages you installed are only available on AUR

[@skeome]

Yay is just easier, it doesn't only install from the AUR, it includes the AUR in your repositories. It's just a lot faster than typing sudo pacman

[@theantrules8609]

that was just to run it temporarily in the background, to make it run in the background upon startup just add it to the exec-once command in your hyprland.conf file

I have been using hyprpanel it is awesome. But only thing is when machine goes into standby and come back the bar disappears. Hyprpanel uses AGS and this is a know issue. Trying to makes a script so when system resumes it pkills ags and starts it back again as a workaround for now.

Hyprpanel is written in Typescript and waybar in c++. It will use a bunch of more resources and be slower.

I want to ask, am i missing anything from using stow? I have a bash script that creates a symlink of every directory in my dotfiles to their respective destination and it works pretty well, no issues. But i want to know if im missing anything in particular using stow.

[@typecraft_dev]

for my use case, no. That is pretty much how I use stow! sounds like a nice system you have

[@skeome]

Unfortunately, with this hyprlock config, a portion of my screen remains visible. To fix this, should I just remove the monitor lines? I'll do some experimentation with commenting out and appending so it covers my full screen and not 97% of it lol Edit: it seems shaded.png is slightly too small for my monitor? It shouldnt be, my monitor is only 1920x1080. Commenting it out fixed my issue, but left me with a grey screen, so I'll deal with the 20ish rightmost pixels

Hi, I recently switched to Arch and I'm struggling setting up accents with dead keys on my Mac keyboard. Any idea how I can fix this? I managed to swap Ctrl with Super (Command in this case), and now I can open new tabs with CMD+T, open files with CMD+O, etc. However, I still haven’t found a way to type accents using Left Alt (Option). English is not my native language, and I need the acute accent (OPT+E), circumflex (OPT+I), tilde (OPT+N)... My Hyprland keyboard configuration file has the following lines: ``kb_layout = us`` ``kb_variant = mac`` ``kb_model = keychron-keychron-k3`` ``kb_options = ctrl:swap_lwin_lctl``

[@JohnMaverick-w7c]

After bonking my head against the wall for two days and doing a lot of research, I'm finally making progress... > ``kb_layout = us`` > ``kb_variant = mac`` enables accents and symbols on the mac keyboard, but since my keyboard doesn't have alt+gr I didn't know we use that key for accents on linux... > ``kb_options = lv3:alt_switch, ctrl:swap_lwin_lctl`` swaps ctrl for command and makes left_alt become another alt+gr, now I can do "é ã ü ô"... however, I lost the possibility of managing my windows with left_alt + 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 because it prints symbols like ™£¢∞§... now I'm trying to get around this... but I've spent so much time trying to solve this that maybe I'll set up a hyper key on caps lock and make it exclusive to the hyperland shortcuts ////// HOLY FUCKING SHIT NOW IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY MOD5 is the equivalent to AltGr so I did this: $OPTION = MOD5 bind = $OPTION, 1, workspace, 1 bind = $OPTION, 2, workspace, 2 bind = $OPTION, 3, workspace, 3 bind = $OPTION, 4, workspace, 4 bind = $OPTION, 5, workspace, 5 bind = $OPTION, 6, workspace, 6 bind = $OPTION, 7, workspace, 7 bind = $OPTION, 8, workspace, 8 bind = $OPTION, 9, workspace, 9 Once Asahi supports VRR/ProMotion, I will install it on my Mac as well.
