Hyprland has become really good. It can be a bit of a process to set up properly, but it has been rock solid for me for ~4 months. I'm probably going to continue using this exclusively going forward. Really enjoying it.
@@YrmiZ I don’t know how to make it work I read the hyprland wiki, no luck, so unfortunately that resource didn’t help and continuously pointing me to that does nothing, so sorry but saying “user error” does nothing but irk me
I'm just hoping Hyprland will ever become stable enough and with some nice defaults out of the box, preferably with a few styling theme choices like Zorin OS offers.
"Out of the box" is sort of antithetical statement when it comes to hyprland. The point is kinda that hyprland is *just* a window manager, and you add on top of it only and exactly the software you want for your environment. As far as sane defaults go, I think that will always come from community scripts that automatically setup and configure a lot of standard tooling that most people end up using in their custom configs. To that end, there are already several that you can just quickly run that give you a reasonable hyprland environment to try out. The real question is why use hyprland over something like Gnome. Gnome is really good these days. For what I want to do, the first time I booted up Gnome I just looked up how to delete pretty much everything which is why the ground-up approach of hyprland works for me. But if you enjoy a lot of the features provided by popular DEs, there's honestly nothing wrong with just sticking to them. Hyprland will not be worth the hype if you spend a few weeks effectively trying to rebuild Gnome or KDE inside it.
Oh wow, we happened to start using hyprland at the same time. This is the first time I have lasted more than 2 days on wayland before getting fed up. So far working well
I'd recommend also autostarting an authentication agent if you ever need a password prompt in GUI apps. Without that some of them will error out or just freeze.
Little workaround for the Steam issue: instead of opening Steam with rofi/wofi you just open up terminal and write "steam"... I don't know why but it works flawless like that... But yeah they should fix that Steam problem
For screenshot you can use 2 programs. grim and slurp. They're very simple cli programs but when you combine them you can do pretty much anything with your screenshots.
I use that setup too, after looking it up in the Internet for... less than 1 minute? It really feels in this video like distrotube has not really researched neither hyprland nor wayland, to be honest.
Give it another ten years and wayland may even be ready for the desktop - instead of just for impatient "Linux gamer poseurs" who are so desperate to get a frew more FPS out of "Starfailed" or "Cyubersplatt 4044" and think that owning a Steam Deck makes them Linux gurus all of a sudden.

Hyprland with CachyOS on five PCs here. I started using Linux in June 2023. Living in Hyprland for over a year and it is an outstanding experience for me. [Your mileage may vary and void where prohibited.]
I'd recommend hyprshot as a screenshot tool. It's a wrapper around a couple of other foss projects (grim and slurp) that is specifically designed for hyprland, and has worked flawlessly for me. It's available on the AUR as either a tag release or a git release.
For the gaming, it’s recommended to configure GameMode. This is documented in the hyprland wiki. Basically disabled animations etc.. for when your gaming. You would tie it to a key bind to toggle on or off.
Good day, Derek. How are you able to view the hex colors themselves in your style.css (10:00)? Am I able to get something like that across any file in Neovim? Thank you.
@@DistroTube hexokinase for vim works great it’s a little old but still completely functional on vim and you can configure how you want the color displayed.
Yeah, I can relate. I haven been a user of Linux the last 3 years and I finally managed to have arch+hyprland and kde as in case hyprland crache as solution and it works for me.
Using Hyprland for a while now. First with Waybar. But now for a week or 2 I have used Hyprpanel instead. gui conf, but a lot easier for me to get what I want where I had more issues with Waybar.
hey dt you mentioned about changing something in waybar and it not changing till after you restart. you can make a script to kill waybar and keybind it in your hyprland.conf and you can restart the bar that way. i looked that up myself for my own waybar.
On flameshot issue: try putting flameshot command in a script and run that script with some keybinding which you prefer. It works for me on Gnome on Wayland.
Been using it as a wayland bspwm replacement, with some toned down cosmetic options, been comfortable in it for maybe a year. Only issue I've experienced is sometimes not being able to restart Hyprland after going back to tty, sometimes on the same user, other times when logging into another user (until a restart).
You might find this useful, in waybar there is a fuction hyprland/submap It will print 'passthrough' (you can edit that) on the waybar when you enable submap. I use it for passthrough when I use VMs. Since I have to toggle it on and off manually.
Yet people still get mummy and daddy to sell a kidney at Christmas for them just to have the latest overpriced and proprietary NVIDIA GPU for their rubbish "games as a service" boredom--ware.
Regarding Steam not working. I had the same issue your describing where the window would constantly pop up and close. Was able to solve this by setting PrefersNonDefaultGPU to false in the steam.desktop file. Now Steam runs without any issues.
For the flameshot bug, I don't know if this is the problem, but there is a problem with the tray in waybar where you have to launch waybar first or the icons won't appear. So in my configuration, I have it sleep until it detects that waybar is running.
When I was running Hyprland I used the following to work around the flickering issue in Steam windowrulev2 = stayfocused, title:^()$,class:^(steam)$ windowrulev2 = minsize 1 1, title:^()$,class:^(steam)$ Also disabling GPU acceleration within Steam helps
Hey DT, I couldn't see a title bar in any of the "windows" or "panes" of hyperland. Can window titles be enabled? Can they be in the window frame? I'm not a fan of Macintosh's or Gnome3's universal title bar that shows the title of the window in focus in the top bar. I prefer program title in the decoration (frame) around the window. Actually, I'm not a fan of window decorations in general - I feel this is a design flaw. But if the title of the program could appear somewhere in the window (top right of the frame?) or as a watermark on the background or something. That would really help me. I don't like looking away from what the focus is just to figure the title of the program I'm working with.
Will you be adding your Hyprland configs to DTOS? Yes, when you come up against errors, it is sometimes hard to determine which project to report the issue to.
You should look at the eww package much more powerful then waybar and extensively configurable. It has a little learning curve but once you get it it works great.
@@somesalmon5694 Is it really that easy? I've already looked at several configurations and didn't understand anything haha. I found it a bit difficult, but there are already several frameworks to try to create widgets in hyprland. One of them is "Fabric" which is made and configured in python.

I have the Nvidia RTX 3060 Mobile in my laptop, and Steam worked for me, so it's possibly not a Hyprland-specific issue but something else. I based my Hyprland config on yours, so it's probably not an issue with that. I am using UWSM (Universal Wayland Session Manager), so that might or might not affect things. Maybe it could be a driver issue? I don’t remember off the top of my head if I am using the Nouveau or proprietary drivers. The only issue I have found so far with Hyprland + Nvidia is that the old Beta 1.7.3 version of Minecraft from 2011 is very stuttery to the point of it being almost unplayable, I made the game use the integrated GPU of my CPU and it worked fine after that (Minecraft, especially the older versions are not that GPU intensive, so it doesn't really matter if it used the integrated or discreet GPUs). This issue did not happen with modern Minecraft versions.
Why do you use waybar and not one of the nwg programs like nwg-panel? Also to fast check if a json file effected it changes you can killall waybar, then use dmenu or fuzzle or whatever to relaunch it.
Have you added any variables related to nvidia into hyprland's config file? i'm also using a 3060 and i was able to play games on steam fairly easily. iirc hyprland has specific variables that nvidia users need to add to the config file and kernel modules that need to go into mkinitcpio, and i think they're specified either in their installation page or the nvidia section on the wiki.
I had issues on nvidia 3090ti laptop, the hyprland animations were jerky and dropping frames on my 4k monitor. Probably not hyprland issue, because I tried the same on Garuda linux - same thing. Another dealbreaker is the screen-sharing issues, although I solved it for zoom and obs, but I haven't tried record a video in obs, looks like it isn't smooth.. Will stick to i3 for now
As a PC gamer running Linux with a Nvidia 3070 LHR and Steam does actually open on Hyprland. I have had that same issue myself too and I did get it fixed but I could not tell how I did so, from what I picked up on when I was researching the issue I saw people mentioning the GTK XDG portal or the Gnome specific one but I still got the GTK portal and Steam was running like butter earlier today Also for screenshotting it is recommended to use Grim and Slurp

But I'm sure there's a way to trigger a reload of the configuration on waybar either, as far as I remember it does reload the configuration automatically?

@@firestormjupiter Ah okay, good to know. I do exactly that already, usually followed by a disown to get rid of any dependencies to my shell/terminal (log messages and not killing waybar when closing the terminal).
Derek, apparently the solution for Steam crashing is setting a cursor theme in nwg-look. By default, it is not set, so the apps crash by Segmentation Fault.
steam works fine on my nvidia card hyprland/arch.. I'm using a mobile nvidia T2000 on my laptop.. it works fine (even better than my rx 7800xt desktop, I can'g get hyprpaper or swww to work properly) It could be an ampere architecture specific problem.
You shouldn't need a separate program to lxappearance as far as I know. At least it works fine on all my stuff. I should add. Especially since you aren't used to doing things in wayland. Things are done a bit differently in it, in general and setting up an environment in it has different steps, that you might not have to worry about woth xorg. So their can easily be something you can miss, which will lead to od behavior. Like xdg-portals, etc
You really should split the config file, instead of having everything in one file each section can be a separate .conf file, you use the source= command in the main file.
Flameshot is unable to detect hyprland, but you can tell it that you're using "sway" and it'll work just as fine on hyprland. This is the wrapper script I use: #!/bin/sh exec env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway /usr/bin/flameshot
I use a bind to reload waybar, with this script: #!/bin/sh # Quit runing waybar instances killall waybar # Loading the configuration based on username if [[ $USER = "username" ]] then waybar -c ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc & -S ~/.config/waybar/style.css else waybar & fi Simple way to see changes on the go, hope it serves you.

I had a lot of trouble scaling applications and went back to X11 because of it...
so what’s the verdict?
Hyprshot is good
Odd i have a 3050 i game steam opens and runs fine arch linux proprietary drivers also
Ah yes, I use Emacs as my desktop,run and bookmark launcher. Who needs Rofi 😆
You really should split the config file, instead of having everything in one file each section can be a separate .conf file, you use the source= command in the main file.
Saitch to hyprpanel...
keepassxc autotype not working in wayland this is by design and security reasons
I always want hyprland to be good, but it does updates like qtile, some are good some are bad
First one
Flameshot is unable to detect hyprland, but you can tell it that you're using "sway" and it'll work just as fine on hyprland.
This is the wrapper script I use:
#!/bin/sh
exec env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway /usr/bin/flameshot
Lot's of user errors in this one. For example steam works just fine with nvidia, you just need to setup environments right..
Hyprshot
Wait DT using Hapyland ? Repent! Repent! The end is at hand.
Hi DT XX DOGG 🙂 I AM NOT
I use a bind to reload waybar, with this script:
#!/bin/sh
# Quit runing waybar instances
killall waybar
# Loading the configuration based on username
if [[ $USER = "username" ]]
then
waybar -c ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc & -S ~/.config/waybar/style.css
else
waybar &
fi
Simple way to see changes on the go, hope it serves you.
