I am just having a ball with your versions of hyprland. I was very impressed installing dotfiles 2.4 on ArcoLinux and only made minor changes to your files. Today, I installed your starter script on EndeavousOS but didn't care to make any changes to this base installation (which worked fine out of the box). Instead, I installed dotfiles 2.4 and that worked flawlessly on EndeavourOS. Thanks again for your impressive work!
Thanks! EndeavourOS is super cool, as is hyprland. Your install script and guide were flawless. Feel like I need training wheels coming from Gnome. Where is everything?! lol
Excellent. Thank you so much. I understand that the config must then be adjusted to look like the original. Humble suggestion: It would help a lot to those of us who don't have as much experience making those adjustments if you did a follow up and show us how you can get it to be the same as the one you use in the original GUI elements, etc.
@@mylinuxforwork No, I will try it this week and get back to this comment. I mean de GUI elements of waybar for example, when you enter hyprland it had everything in there defaults config.
Thanks Stephan. I gave this the "ol college try" on my hp notebook and I came up with a blank screen. I dont think it likes me dumbing the screen resolution from native down to 2560x1440. Hyprland is still in infancy and I will do my reading to see if theres an alternative to correct it. All of your other instructional videos have worked flawlessly on other hardware and i am grateful to you! Thank you!
Stephan, I did as you suggested and I had a black screen with a mouse pointer. I pressed mod+enter and got an external open so that much worked. I guess for some reason, waybar is not starting up. I have not tried your procedure again. Maybe this is something I need to do. Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work, appreciate you sharing your work. At this point you should make your own DE or distro. As far as I know there isn't a full tiling window DE.
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. There are several distros out with dedicated tiling window manager as default desktop. What I like is that the setup fits 100% to my requirements and I can learn every day something new. With my dotfiles on gitlab I can easily inst the same setup on all of my devices. Not sure if an own distro is required by today.
Hey @@mylinuxforwork! I have problem. I'm using VIrtualBox and after installing script and rebooting system hyprland does not starts. It just takes me into sddm. Can you help me with that?
Excellent video but im having trouble when starting hyprland, in the log on screen when i change to hyprland and log in it just goes back to the log on screen
Thank you for producing all of these wonderful videos. You have been one of my main guides into the Hyprland and Linux world. I was following this video and installed EndeavourOS but, X11 was default. Can you please tell me if Wayland was installed as default on your EndeavourOS installation?
Love that you keep working with the dotfiles and videos. I will try to convince work to let me use arch at work instead of Windows but will have to learn how to set up a solid work environment with backups and such. Do you have anything on that? Do you think btrfs is the way to go for filesystem with timeshift?
Btrfs with Timeshift is great. And backing up dotfiles with Git is super helpful to transfer and synchronize between devices. And with Windows Virtual Machines you have access to Office apps.
Tanks for this guide Stephan yet could you please do a tutorial video how to switch from workspaces for a multiple monitor ... I tried a lot with hypland guide but still do the default parameters...( Forced to auto) For example I would like to make a keybinding to switch from also move processes from workspace 1..to..9 or in first monitor with super+number and the second monitor with alt+number from 1..to..9?? Please how to do that??😢
Oh, and another thing: you installed the rofi version that's meant for X11.. for Wayland (and hyprland) you have to install the AUR package that's the port/fork of rofi for Wayland
@@LorenzoBettinijust tried it now, yeah I get what you mean now, IT IS for X11, I'm surprised that hyprland never tiled rofi despite it being X11 ver. drun works window/windowcd shows no output
Hi, brilliant walkthrough, the manager works superbly. However, I have a problem with switching to nvidia GPU (I have a laptop with hybrid graphics) - I've installed nvidia driver and tried to switch to gpu with envycontrol but with no result. I've also switched to hyprland-nvidia (still no result) and I'm not able to modify config files as described on hyprland wiki because EOS uses dracut instead of mknitcpio. Could you help me? I've seen that Hyprland works with nvidia for plenty of people. I'm not so savvy and after seeing Hyprland I wouldn't want to return to Windows.
Hi. Thanks for your valuable feedback. It's difficult to test this on my current AMD based environment. But I'm planning to have a look into the Nvidia setup later this year with a Nvidia GPU passthrough via a virtual machine. Then I can give better feedback.
Thank you. I’m planning to release my new dotfiles 2.5 today. After that I will revord some deep dive videos with configuration tips for Hyprland and Qtile.
Im a bit stuck, followed all the info but when I go to login it just keeps reverting back to the login screen. Im pretty sure it is the nvidia card 3060. How or what have i missed? 09/27/2024
Nice! You have been a huge help when configuring hyprland. One thing that i am still struggling with is fuguring out how you are able to open ChatGPT without the browser UI elements(not the command line, but the regular GUI one just minus the additional browser stuff). Any tips? 😁

Hey man, a complete noob here. I installed Arch, Hyprland, and your dotfiles and everything works almost perfectly, so, can you please explain to us noobs how to enable or disable some modules in the Waybar, for example, I don't have Bluetooth on my desktop and it reads "no-controller" so it covers the "hard disk" module somewhat and it's ugly. Also, I'd like to enable the "keyboard" module for example. I managed to change some stuff like resolution, scaling, resize the borders, gaps and change blur but I can't for the life of me understand how to manipulate those Waybar modules. Any help is appreciated. By the way, these are the most beautiful dotfiles I found on YT. Thanks for sharing this. (I tried JaKooLit's dotfiles, his Waybar is great but theming looks outdated.)
Hi. Please open the config file in your waybar template and remove the module e.g, gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/waybar/themes/ml4w/config

Do you know how can I make my default compositor from kde plasma to hyprland in manjaro, when I am turning on my computer it's opening with the kde plasma instead of hyprland
My preferred virtualization is KVM. But I'm already planning to test it on virtual box. But please be aware that Hyprland isn't made for VMs. For productivity I suggest Qtile.
Whenever I try to login with the desktop session set to hyprland when I type in the password the screen just blacks out and sends me back to the login page. When I enter my login with KDE it works though. Could this be because I am using virtualbox?
