Out of all the Hyprland dotfile offerings out there, yours stands out as the "true default". Its purely functional, not an opinionated design, and is easy to further customise and maintain. Thanks for all your hard work.
I just migrated from Windows 11 to ML4W with Hyprland on Arch Linux. I built a Velka 3 system with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 64 GB DDR5, and NVIDIA A2000 12 GB. The installation was easy. I encountered a minor issue with the keyboard language because I set my user manually. Then installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers was a pain, but it works flawlessly with Hyprland. I also set up a Windows 11 VM following Stephan's guide. It is remarkable how customizable this setup is and how there is always a solution to everything.
Firstly I'd like to thank you for taking the time to teach us all. I've learned so much here already. Love the content you've been putting out! That being said, would love to see some longer format and/or more in depth configuration tutorials/videos if possible.
so awesome, good quality project like this will elevate linux as an daily OS for the masses, easy, convenient, beautiful- all while beeing not commercial big tech. THANK U SO MUCH, DANKE! :)
The ml4w "wallpaper blur effect" works very well! It allows me to use "blur"+ opacity, less performance hit, without gpu and for laptops. Anticipating the next release. I was able to customize ml4w to be pretty much exactly the minimal arch hyprland that I wanted. I don't even login to gnome anymore.
Your tutorials are always useful and precise, I have already performed the castomization of your dotfiles other times but when I update the version of the dotfiles it resets everything. How can I avoid losing the castomization?
Hey Stephan, your dotfiles are great! I've been using them for a couple of weeks now and i am so in love with the uniform sleek beauty of your layouts that i have abandoned Plasma (which I loved so much) completely. One question though: I'm using the setting which uses pywal and dynamically changes the color of the waybar and borders depending on the wallpaper's color scheme. I love the automated synchronization! But if I were to change the border colors from the ml4w hyprlands app, how then can I revert back to the dynamic color changing default? I don't see an option to go back to the default setting. I tried messing around with the scripts but what would happen is then the hyprlands app cannot be accessed anymore. I'm still a noob at hyprlands and linux in general, so this poses quire a problem.
Amazing again! Can Hyprland do something like what Display Fusion can do in Windows: assign hotkeys to predefined window layouts? For example, I set WIN+SHIFT+1 to move the active window into a 100% height, but 75% width (respective to the full width of the screen), but also centered horizontally.
Great work as always. Can i scale down the UI without goofing around with monitor settings ? This makes xwayland resolution to bump up and nation resolution looks blurry.
thank you! great setup. how can i open apps in workspaces on startup? like 1 - terminal, 2 - browser, 3 - chats Im using your dotfiles about a month. really awesome. thank you again for you work and vids
do tab groups still work for Hyprland? I haven't managed to run it on a vm, skill issue I guess. I'm sold for everything it has unless it doesn't support window/tile stacks like Sway or Pop does. I've only found a few entries on the wiki and a single video on RUclips of a stack that doesn't even has titles on it, so I'm not even sure if the feature is even present still. But that's on the WM side, your work looks so well done and polished, its more than just dotfiles :)
Even changing my wallpaper, whenever I log into hyprland after a reboot it " loads" the previous (default) wallpaper for 1-2 seconds before changing to the one I selected. Any hints how to address that?
When i install your stable package, and start hyprland it works at first but as soon as i install the settings from you, my waybar isnt working anymore. Sorry for my bad english, im german.
can you please tell me where or which file I need to edit, so I can bind certain workspaces to monitors please? I cant seem to find a workspaces conf file anywhere. thank you so much
Binding workspaces is described here: github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Hyprland#workspaces You need to edit this file .config/waybar/modules.json I am currently working on a modular concept of the modules, so this file will be updated soon.
Would love an easy way to change the fonts used in Hyprland. Tried the config but all the fonts looked too big for my taste. Waybar especially. When I tried to change them I somehow messed it up and the tooltips became blurry.
This configuration made me switch to Hyperland without any hesitation. I've been really happy with it. However, I've run into one issue. When I try to connect to Bluetooth devices, I don't get the usual pairing notification. I've had to log into KDE to get it working. Is there a workaround for this?
Hi, I really love your setup! It's been a few hours and Im still trying to find the best settings for me. I just have one issue about the ANSI escape code used for text formatting in terminal. Everytime I change the wallpaper it also changes, I would like to stick with the default colors. I tried to look inside your dotfiles and can't find it :D, can you point me in the right direction?
I completely forget about it since its just a minor issue for me. What I mean is the color of alacritty text output. I like the default colors instead the colors generated by the wallpapers, another thing is for tmux, I installed it yesterday and its all black background
have been fiddeling with hyprland og config for some above an week , was getting pretti sattified. aaand your video comes in now + looks so good that i need to try it! for an arch newb here is it just to pacman -R to remove the files - or easiest with clean install? thanks for this looks awsomee
It is posdible. You can create an own variation of a window .config/hypr/conf/windows , add your rainbow colors and load your variation in the settings app. github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/wiki/Configuration-Variations

My laptop is 1360x768, I set it in the settings gui to 1920x1080p and after reboot everything is much smaller. I love it this way, but can you explain to me what is happening? Is it just "zooming" out, because my max resolution is 768p. Do you think it could affect performance too? Anyways, I'm loving your dotfiles man! They are very nice for someone like me who knows a little about linux but not enough to tackle the ton of configuration and debugging needed to make such a pretty setup
Hey why not insted of showing your rice can you make a full lenth of video how you created it and explain, I mean a lot of ppl wanna understand how things works and make there own rice
Please make a minimal version of this that just does hyprland wm environment but not things like zsh or neovim. Ml4w-starter is too outdated and doesnt compare to this
@@mylinuxforwork I was checking out Oh-My-Posh and have to say it seems superior to Starship and will be switching over. I have a suggestion, when you ask to create a user, ask them which shell and prompt to use. For the AUR package, you should remove all the dependencies and only include things like gum which is needed to execute scripts, only because this will reduce the amount of bloat on the system. And because the scripts already do install the required packages. Also some places could use commands like gum input or simple read command such as aur helper, shell, prompt; under a "Custom" option when you call the gum choose command. And only install the packages selected. Also not sure if its intended but no matter what i try cloning the git repo and running the file in bin doesnt seem to setup hyprland properly. P.s. Not sure why but when using VS Code, the right click menu seems to be a little slow. All graphics drivers and everything is updated. BTW love the battery flashing indicator on waybar, i have literally plugged in my laptop to charge at 2 percent 4 times. No other bar has ever been this beneficial 😂
@@mylinuxforwork I think you should include the options to choose which shell and prompt the user would like and only install that package. And when you chose the shell, it should ask for a prompt if the user would like to use your zsh configuration same with the prompt. And also allowing custom input for these options along with the aur helper, maybe even terminal since people may have different preference. P.s. The Waybar is awesome. I have plugged in my laptop below 5 percent 4 times cuz of the flashing red battery indicator.

Correct. Just add your images to the wallpaper directory located in your home folder.

It is already fixed on the latest commits on the git release. Still preparing the next version.
Consider adding initial_workspace_tracking=1 to misc.config. I went a long time not understanding why apps open on wrong workspaces.
Thanks for your feedback. Will check.
Add this as a new issue or the next version.
