#Hyprland

[btrfs-unofficial]

so i, switched to hyprland and did some ricing

am very happy with how it turned out :D

it's my first time actually ricing something

[sunskimmer82]

hello everyone please look at hyprland because it's pretty

there's still a lot of work to do but it's coming along and I've gotten past the worst random problems

[typescript-official]

So recently I've been working on a project called SSSidebar (smokin sexy sidebar) for niri. However, the scope has shifted to be more of a shell built around the niri workflow, so I think it needs a new name...

Anyways, so remember how I was talking about making an app called yuri?

[theeepy]

Need somebody to convince me to try out hyperland

[lynx-xdg]

I spent some time making my desktop look nice. A lot of it is still the default hyprland theme, but I've enjoyed messing around with the hypr ecosystem!

arch linux - hyprland - ~gruvbox - obsidian

[cupofkale]

it took a couple failed installs but i have installed arch with hyprland

[crazyneutral]

Positive: my Arch install is finally working.

Negative: my chaotic ass has decided that it is not enough of a challenge to just slap a DE on it and call it a day so now guess who's been researching Hyprland into the night

Meantime the depths of my soul wail "I want to play Terraria 😭😭😭"

[l-i-p-d-i-a-p-k]

After using preconfigured Hyprland (ML4W and HyDE<3) for a while finally I had some time to configure a fresh install by myself, and Im LOVING IT X3

[necrotech-puppywitch]

Finally did system (I use Arch btw (custom kernel I compiled myself) reinstall and switched to hyprland. Now I have become hyprland superiorist, destroyer of d env users, fuck that bloat, the gui is bloat. I should rewrite everything on my system in rust and force it to use a tui. The tui is better anyway, just as capable as any gui. Wayland is superior (until I get bored with it). Idk im jwust a silly :3

Linux Life Episode 87

Hello everyone and welcome to my ongoing piddling about in my corner of the world of Linux. Well this month I have been playing around with Wayland and trying to work out whether I am ready to switch to it.

I admit that I recently switched back to X11 when using KDE Plasma 6.2 as several tools don’t work well in it under Wayland.

When in X11 I use Cairo Dock as a program launcher which does have a version that allegedly works with Wayland but the team of Cairo Dock admit its alpha and is buggy. Indeed it worked for a while then it started messing up shortcuts. Also in X11 I can move the bar up above the main KDE panel so I can still see the icons and switch tasks etc.

In X11 it works fine. In Wayland it is just too basic and the coders of it are in no hurry to create a full version until Wayland setup some standards regarding key bindings etc.

Which I guess is fair enough but annoying.

When it comes to collecting screenshots I normally use Shutter. I have tried others such as Flameshot and others but they seem to have issues when grabbing certain screenshots such as Steam games and Shutter just works.

However under Wayland. Shutter has been hacked to work but will only allow you to grab the desktop only and none of the other options are available.

So I have been using X11 to allow Shutter to continue to work.

Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned but I like to have things that work. Also OBS Studio works with Wayland but apparently has issues when selecting input sources and areas.

In time they may fix this but at this time it doesn’t quite work as it should.

So I admit if I am using KDE Plasma I won’t be using the Wayland version.

Taking a slight side step ...

I have recently decide as I was noodling about in the Wayland compositing wibble I decided to try Hyprland.

Well I must admit at first I really didn’t get on very well with it and to be honest while I could open a few windows and I managed to use ghostty as my terminal.

However after a bit of a play I didn’t know how to close all the open windows and had to faff around just to get the slightest thing open.

So I was about to give up. However I decided to look up the wiki and it gave a few preconfigured options. I admit I downloaded and installed the JaKooLit dot files.

I must admit that it has actual made Hyprland useful and with a bit of playing I finally managed to get most things working and yes it can be fun and it’s pretty fast but I really don’t see me using it regularly.

It has allowed me to capture screenshots using certain keys so Hyprland has solved my requirements and Shutter is not needed using it but until OBS Studio issues in Wayland are sorted I will have to go back to KDE Plasma 6 X11 if I want to capture video.

I really didn’t understand Hyprland when i first started but I admit that the preconfig has made it useable once you get used to the quirkiness. I am even willing to live without a dock.

Hopefully OBS Studio will manage to get around its issues and who knows I might even switch to Hyprland and stop using KDE Plasma.

I’m sure someone will advise me better Hyprland tricks but for now I have it working and it is not bad. In time I could get used to working with Hyprland. Once you get the hang of it, it is quite fast and useable.

Wayland is good but not quite 100% there. Not far its about 95% workable, it just needs the last few things to get working.

Well that’s enough waffle for now ... Until next time ... Take care.

Friendship with hyprland ended, now Niri is my best friend.

[sudodax]

I've been using hyprland for my arch linux for a few months now and I'm curious about i3

[scaththefloof]

Should I try out hyprland to experiment with more wayland compositors

I am scared to do so because of all the controversy. So I hope just trying it out to review hyprland as software and separate the art from the artist will be okay and not lead to me being hunted down.

[boyhacker]

fun fact: the default hyprland.conf doesn't put a limit on the volume raise/lower by default, so you can easily set it to well over 1000% >_>

scary af lmao

[pandamugger]

finally took the time to set up hyprpaper and i have a cute wallpaper now :3

that was so easy i literally have no idea why i couldn’t figure it out before
