I've never paid any attention to tiling window managers, but after watching this, I really want to try out Hyperland. Everything is just so smooth and beautiful. Thank you so much for this video.
As I go through your video, I'll post some quick tips and re-edit my comment to add them: 1 - iwctl station connect then put in your Wi-Fi password when you are prompted. I prefer this rather than interactive mode. 2 - You should install microcode in the additional packages. intel-ucode or amd-ucode. 3 - on first boot, nmtui to setup network. It's ncurses menu driven and just easy. 4 - Great video. Thank you!
I use Linux less than a year. I used Ubuntu, last month I migrate to Manjaro, and this week I migrate to Arch. I never saw a graphic S.O. in this way, and I loved. One day, when I learn more about arch, maybe one day, I will install your version. So much beatiful. I love the transparent without top bar terminal.
@@SolDoesTech I am currently shifted to Ubuntu from windows 10 pro , why the app opening time and overall it feels slow compared to windows , should i shift to another distro like Arch ? (Note: my pc has Intel pentium processer, 4gb ram and HDD).
@@zakirdeshmukh9916 try to find out what you want to do with your computer; coding, video editing, music authoring, etc. and find a distro that fits your needs and desired effort level. Arch is nice but it does require a lot of knowledge about configuring your system from scratch. An out of the box distro might get you going quicker but you may lose out on the opportunity to force yourself to learn the intricacies of linux and arch. Arch does have an official install script now. I recommend if you do use arch choose the desktop setting and choose a launcher of your choice. This should get you a graphical interface to start you off with and you can go from there.
Been using Ubuntu for 1 year, I had never used Linux before that. Tonight I did a fresh install of hyprland (following this tutorial) on both my laptop and pc. I’ll be daily driving it from here on out. Thanks for the great tutorial.. And also great work if you are the one behind hyprland (pretty sure you are!) thanks again.

Very impresive video, pretty well made and explained , easy to follow, but i would really like to see a full step by step video on how to get all these configurations done.
I just loaded this on one of my primary systems. So it will be used daily! Thank you so much. I decided to try BTRFS with compression. I set compression during the install process, but it didn't update the /etc/fstab I will do it manually but you might want to check the build script.
Thank yo for the comment! very glad to hear you would be daily driving this :) As far as the filesystem, that option is from archinstall script which is not written or maintained by me so unfortunately I will not be able to assist with that feedback. With that said, that install script is fairly new and the Arch team is always updating it so its possible a fix for this would be in sometime soon.

@@-flixz Hello, glad to hear you got Hyprland working but sounds like the waybar had failed. I did see you posted on the V3 so I assume that got you fixed so let me know if you still need help with V1
Ohh... This is impossible fantastic. Many thanks for this ready-made extremely useful config file. This is perfect beginning to start hyprland tiling window manager. I will review these codes to find out. Thank you very much o7.
Love this, thank you very much. I have managed a couple of changes to the waybar; changing the clock to my personal preference wasn't too difficult however I am stumped on the weather python script. Being in UK we have for many years used Centigrade, but the weather shows Fahrenheit, which hardly anyone except USA uses anymore. Similarly the CPU temperature, which I actually managed to change to Centigrade.
Yo bro, thanks for the video. I started used Arch Linux a few months and i configure qtile. But i would configure other window manager and i think hyprland and you sharing this knowledge. Big thanks love!

Thank you for the comment, you are 100% correct. The goal is to get a running system and provide enough info so someone can feel comfortable customizing. Thank you for watching!
Yeah, you have to go into that config file and basically remove the lines giving you conflicts. There will be a few more, essentially anything that has a blur parameter in that section.
Hello and thank you for the comment. I would be interested to know how well the config files worked so if you can please drop me a line, I would appreciate it. Also please note that the script I have for setting everything up would overwrite any existing configs. So just keep that in mind if you plan to run the "set-hypr" script on an existing system. Thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech It didn't want to install from the script for me, so I used yay. Everything starts at least on first reading. The only thing I notice is that the waybar does not work correctly for me. EndeavourOS with sway as a base.

Hello, You are correct its a very different experience between a full blown DE and a WM. It does take time to get used to and honestly its not for everyone. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!
I prefer to have UI icon with keybinds shown, often what happens is there is keybinds for os then for apps i use , there are lot of keybinds on both sides then there are commands , so it's quit a lot of learning curve but always end up efficient if you remember all or have a manual to go back in case you forgot but it's hindrance if we keep forgetting or using it while doing critical stuff and lagging behind cuz we spent time catching up to the binds then whatever we were using the system to solve the problem we had in first place😅
My mind was blown when I figured out WMs existed. Like… for me they’re the best thing in the universe. To each their own though, it could be because I really love change, so anything different would feel better than what I have.
Hey where can i find the configuration for the bash prompt which you've set. It's not behaving very nice with alacritty so wanted to customize that. thanks
I installed this in virtual box all was going well until the setup script part in the installation I'm getting an error that say's 'Failed to enable unit:Unit file bluetooth.service does not exist' then at the end when it say" would you like to start Hyprland now?" i type "y" and then get another error "./set-hypr: line 136:exec Hyprland: not found" can somebody plz help me how can i fix this problem?
That is an excellent question, I tried sddm (clean and git) and gdm but I ended up with an odd black screen on logout with blinking cursor that I couldn't resolve. From what I can tell its a bad TTY switching but since I couldn't figure it out I decided to leave that out of this build as I didnt want to pass that possible problem to anyone following the video that may have a similar setup as mine.
@@kevinwakhisi7001 Thank you for sharing the details. I am going to continue to work on this and once I get that working I'll post an update. Thanks gain!
I'm disappointed, i didn't expect a "how to run my script" video, but still, that's a good showcase, I'll definitely return to get some ideas for my own setup, thanks!
Hello and thank you for the question. My script is geared toward Arch so if you want to get this working on anything else you will need to install the necessary packages by hand and once that is complete you can use the script to have it copy the config. With that said, please note that the script does run other commands that may not work on other distros so you may want to review it before you execute, also.. make sure you have a good backup just in case :) thank you for watching!
Hello and thank you for the comment, unfortunately this setup is not going to work with Hyprland on a VM due to the graphic requirements. I myself use a VM for testing of my code on Nvidia via QEMU but I do a GPU passthrough and thats the only way I was able to get to work. Thank you for watching!
i managed to install it.everything works fine, but eh top bar which shows battery, time, date volume is missing. i remember some builds failed with your hyprland github repo.
Hello and thank you for the feedback, have you considered using the V4 version? This one has some fixes that should help with this. You can just install it on top of this version which is basically the V1. If you like the V1 look better then just hit the V icon in the waybar and it would flip through all the versions from V1 to V4 you can checkout the V4 video here ruclips.net/video/whAi_y_LfEE/видео.html Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much ! You know, I am a windows user, but I started to learn coding (actually JavaScript), and I use terminal for Git/GitHub for save my work, and use NPM for some package. I LOVE that, I feel I can understand and control my environment, it’s amazing, but since long time, I feel Windows is too much intrusive in my life, too much question, or many updates I don’t want, many process I don’t want, it’s like a big spyware box who « eat » my laptop. Sorry, my English is good, but I try to do my best for explain you : I thought many time to use Linux and learn how to use it, for have a better quality life with computer environment, and soon, my work environment. But you know, the first step is the most difficult…..but your video give me confidence, and now, I am feeling ready :) I just bought another laptop, a second hand old Lenovo laptop X270, today I follow your steps. Thank you so much
Great video, sorry if I messed with the algorithm by watching in 1.5x speed, I'm in a bit of a time crunch. Just wanted to advise that the boot menu isn't always accessed by holding esc key when powering on. This point could cause some confusion for some users without some kind of disclaimer in the video or someplace easily visible to them. I for one have 3 machines, my main uses esc, my secondary uses f12 and my third (which i barely use) takes f2 for the boot menu.
Great job on this one. But i have a question for you all...maybe someone can help me. I instaled hyprland on my desktop and for some reason when i first launch hyprland i don't see my bluetooth option in the top bar....Do i need to download anything extra? Thanks
Hello and thank you for the suggestion, based on the number of comments here about ubuntu this is a very good idea for a video. I will consider it for the future, thank you!
Hello, to change the background you will need to edit the config file here ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf then search for the line with "exec = swaybg" you will see a path to the current jpg. just update the path the image you like and save the file. Thank you for watching!
@@noobsniperxx I would assume that it shouldn't impact the core of hyprland but its possible that some items such as the GTK theme or the polkit may have an issue but its not very likely. Thank you for the question, I will keep that in mind and test that out as well.
Hello, sorry to hear that the install script failed. Please consider checking out the latest version of the script which introduced lots of fixes ruclips.net/video/whAi_y_LfEE/видео.html
Hello and thank you for the comment. I think I see the issue here but at this point I would recommend to try the new script described here ruclips.net/video/8GmpCwBqHCA/видео.html it takes care of most of these issues. Thank you for watching!
Hello, thank you for trying out my script. This was one of the issues that others have given me feedback about so i created an improved script that sets up a login manager to make it easier to login and use Hyprland. You can take a look at the updated video here ruclips.net/video/8GmpCwBqHCA/видео.html thank you for watching!
well, unlikely for me it didnt work:(. When i am at the point where it asks if it should start hyperland i say "Y" and then it starts to load something in console and it just asks me for login over and over
Hello, thank you for the comment! you will need to edit the following file: ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc search for the "temperature" module and update: "format": "{temperatureF}°F ", to: "format": "{temperatureC}°C ", it should be on line 115 inthe config
Guys , when I reached to "./set-hypr" gave me too many errors and when i tried to repeat the command it gaves me " -bash: usr/bin/chmod: Input/output error " how can I solve that problem?
honestly just try and find a newer video, some of this stuff is outdated. this youtuber also made a tutorial V2, maybe check it out, but i haven't tried the other vid yet
Can you make a video tutorial on how to install and use the "NEWM" window manager? Newm is a window manager for wayland that doesn't use virtual desktops per se, but instead arranges all windows on something similar to a canvas
Hello and thank you for the question. So hyprland is in beta and its not designed with Nvidia GPUs in mind. With that said, I have found from the feedback that about 80-90% of the viewers who installed using the script were successful. Also to note that this is the first version of the install script and we are now on Version 4 with improved Nvidia support. I would recommend to take al ook at this video ruclips.net/video/whAi_y_LfEE/видео.html if you plan to give this a try. Thank you for watching :)
after yay -S hyprland-bin See if that installs, if it does you can then execute Hyprland with a capital H and it should show you the GUI: I have a black screen
Hello sorry that it didnt work for you :( I am working on a V2 of the script that has some more error checking as well as logging. I also added some additional tools based on the feedback I got :) I will be releasing a video soon with the new version so maybe that one would work better for you. Thank you for watching!
I've got a PROBLEM! The highest resolution my laptop monitor is supporting is 1280x720. It usually runs on 1920x1080. Xrandr however says that 1920x1080 not found in available modes.
Hello and thank you for the comment. execute this command while in an Hyprland session: hyprctl monitors This would give you an output of your monitor port and resolution. you can then edit ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.con and update the line reading monitor= to monitor=,1920x1080,auto, auto Hope this solves the issue, thank you for watching!

@@Deroniks there is a problem in April Arch ISO. You need to update archinstall to latest version with "pacman -Sy archinstall" and the issue will be resolved.

nice. good tutorial. just a quick question, why do you have to clone yay into /opt where you can just clone into your home folder, (for initial installation), then after yay installed, the yay directory cloned can be deleted safely deleted. Because if I remember it correctly when aur packages needs to download some updates/packages from aur, it is using ~/.cache. Im just wondering. Nice of you to share your config. gives me and idea how to use keyboard brightness control.
Hello and thank you for the comment. You are 100% correct that you can clone yay to basically anywhere and then delete it after it's installed.

@@SolDoesTech thanks alot. Oh I see now. Another question, how did you get those numbers for the special hotkeys? Tried on my laptop and so far all corresponds to those special keys. And thanks to your config, that armoury crate button now has a purpose lmao. All I need now is F6, F9 and F11. You have a discord or FB? Oh and also, do you experienced that if you have external monitor connected, and disconnecting the xternal monitor hyprland will log out? edit: found the command for getting the keybind numbers... wev or xorg-xev
@@Ja.KooLit Hello, you are correct I used wev to fin the correct keys for the monitor issue. I have not experienced that issue but try using a startup file for Hypr and include "export WLR_EGL_NO_MODIFIERS=1" that may help.

Hi thanks for the tips very usefull, i have a question, i use popos for some times and lutris for gaming, some games work but some don't or work partially, example ghost recon breakpoint, the game launch but no way to play with 3440x1440 resolution and no way to change it because it stuck to 1280x270, i test with multiple runner no way to play the game with hight resolution, i have RTX 3070 and 3440x1440 monitor.
Thank you for the question. Lutris is very nice but it all depends on the script that was used to package the game and how well maintained it is. Most of the games I play on linux are through Steam and proton which works fantastic. I tried the same games through lutris and I was having similar issues to what you described, when I examined the lutris launch script I noticed it was outdated and havent been maintained in a while. You may want to check out the lutris forums for some help. Some very talented people there sometimes would have very impressive fixes.
Hello, thank you for the comment. I prefer to use yay myself. there are other helpers out there and one to note is paru. The Arch wiki has a list of them all here wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers . Thank you for watching!
Quick question. Arch newbie here. I installed this alongside Wayland, unaware that it isn't the same as something like installing a DE on Ubuntu, where you can just remove it and start pretty fresh. I ended up not needed Hyprland since i don't care much about ricing and didn't need all the utilities and functionality. Is there an easy way to remove all of this without losing data? I forgot to create a snapshot. Wayland was significantly laggier, terminal looked bad due to conflicting configs, etc.
It's a great video. First of all, I would like to thank you. I did it step by step, but such a screen did not appear, I was stuck on a black screen, what should I do? 15:19

Very impresive video, pretty well made and explained , easy to follow, but i would really like to see a full step by step video on how to get all these configurations done.
Great Video that motivate me to give Hyprland a try! and of course further follow your channel. Greetings from Switzerland
Greetings and thank you for the kind words :)
Most comprehensive tutorial 💕
Thank you, glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
was just thinking about trying hyprland! Thanks!
Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching :)
ive took the time to take a peek at the scripts and it seem to be fine so great job, trying to run it right now
Hello, thank you for the comment and taking the time to check out the script. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, i was searching that yesterday.
You're very welcome! thank for the comment and you for watching!
I just loaded this on one of my primary systems. So it will be used daily! Thank you so much. I decided to try BTRFS with compression. I set compression during the install process, but it didn't update the /etc/fstab I will do it manually but you might want to check the build script.
Thank yo for the comment! very glad to hear you would be daily driving this :) As far as the filesystem, that option is from archinstall script which is not written or maintained by me so unfortunately I will not be able to assist with that feedback. With that said, that install script is fairly new and the Arch team is always updating it so its possible a fix for this would be in sometime soon. Thanks again for the comment and thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech Ah that makes sense. I am pretty new to arch, very experienced in Linux I looki forward to more videos.
Sol, thank you so much! I had been using kubuntu on my thinkpad for a while and decided to try out arch + hyprland, and guess what? it runs absolutely great!! I did not have to install hyprland from scratch because of your config. Thanks again my dude!!
Hey sol, I don't see my waybar, can you help me?
@@-flixz Hello, glad to hear you got Hyprland working but sounds like the waybar had failed. I did see you posted on the V3 so I assume that got you fixed so let me know if you still need help with V1
This is really cool, I wasn’t aware of this WM, and will definitely give it a try - thanks!
Hello, glad you enjoyed the video :) thank you for watching!
Ohh... This is impossible fantastic. Many thanks for this ready-made extremely useful config file. This is perfect beginning to start hyprland tiling window manager. I will review these codes to find out. Thank you very much o7.

Love this, thank you very much. I have managed a couple of changes to the waybar; changing the clock to my personal preference wasn't too difficult however I am stumped on the weather python script. Being in UK we have for many years used Centigrade, but the weather shows Fahrenheit, which hardly anyone except USA uses anymore. Similarly the CPU temperature, which I actually managed to change to Centigrade.
Yo bro, thanks for the video. I started used Arch Linux a few months and i configure qtile. But i would configure other window manager and i think hyprland and you sharing this knowledge. Big thanks love!
Thank you for the comment I appreciate the kind words :) I made a V2 of this script with a slightly changed config and an improved install so you may want to check that out here ruclips.net/video/8GmpCwBqHCA/видео.html thank you again and thanks for watching!
All cool kids today uses hyprland. I was having a hardtime setting everything up, tks to your script thigs works well. Now i will fuckaround and find out more about hyprland. Thech problems? Better call Sol
Glad the script got you to a working point and I absolutely love this comment! :)
This is one great basic config for one who want to start wm
Thank you for the comment, you are 100% correct. The goal is to get a running system and provide enough info so someone can feel comfortable customizing. Thank you for watching!
That wibdows rule in which code is mentioned, is that for vscode? Will vscode be transparent if i uncomment that line?

Thanks a lot but I'm getting a config error at line 66 (home/usr/config/hypr/hyperland.conf error setting vale
Yeah, you have to go into that config file and basically remove the lines giving you conflicts. There will be a few more, essentially anything that has a blur parameter in that section.
I installed hyper this afternoon but I will definitely try your config on my EndeavorOS tomorrow
Hello and thank you for the comment. I would be interested to know how well the config files worked so if you can please drop me a line, I would appreciate it. Also please note that the script I have for setting everything up would overwrite any existing configs. So just keep that in mind if you plan to run the "set-hypr" script on an existing system. Thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech It didn't want to install from the script for me, so I used yay. Everything starts at least on first reading. The only thing I notice is that the waybar does not work correctly for me. EndeavourOS with sway as a base.

WM's are not my thing. I prefer a desktop. Currently it's KDE. Key bindings I tried them, but I just prefer the mouse.
Hello, You are correct its a very different experience between a full blown DE and a WM. It does take time to get used to and honestly its not for everyone. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!
Ubuntu user vibes
I prefer to have UI icon with keybinds shown, often what happens is there is keybinds for os then for apps i use , there are lot of keybinds on both sides then there are commands , so it's quit a lot of learning curve but always end up efficient if you remember all or have a manual to go back in case you forgot but it's hindrance if we keep forgetting or using it while doing critical stuff and lagging behind cuz we spent time catching up to the binds then whatever we were using the system to solve the problem we had in first place😅
My mind was blown when I figured out WMs existed. Like… for me they’re the best thing in the universe. To each their own though, it could be because I really love change, so anything different would feel better than what I have.

That is an excellent question, I tried sddm (clean and git) and gdm but I ended up with an odd black screen on logout with blinking cursor that I couldn't resolve.

Can I install this configuration on Ubuntu or Debian based distros!
Hello and thank you for the question. My script is geared toward Arch so if you want to get this working on anything else you will need to install the necessary packages by hand and once that is complete you can use the script to have it copy the config. With that said, please note that the script does run other commands that may not work on other distros so you may want to review it before you execute, also.. make sure you have a good backup just in case :) thank you for watching!

Thank you
i tried installing it on virtualbox but the display is too zoomed in, cant open terminal as well tried to edit the config but nothing worked...
Hello and thank you for the comment, unfortunately this setup is not going to work with Hyprland on a VM due to the graphic requirements. I myself use a VM for testing of my code on Nvidia via QEMU but I do a GPU passthrough and thats the only way I was able to get to work. Thank you for watching!

This looks beautiful.. and good walk-through. 👍
i managed to install it.everything works fine, but eh top bar which shows battery, time, date volume is missing. i remember some builds failed with your hyprland github repo.
Hello and thank you for the feedback, have you considered using the V4 version? This one has some fixes that should help with this. You can just install it on top of this version which is basically the V1. If you like the V1 look better then just hit the V icon in the waybar and it would flip through all the versions from V1 to V4 you can checkout the V4 video here ruclips.net/video/whAi_y_LfEE/видео.html Thank you for watching!

Great video, sorry if I messed with the algorithm by watching in 1.5x speed, I'm in a bit of a time crunch. Just wanted to advise that the boot menu isn't always accessed by holding esc key when powering on. This point could cause some confusion for some users without some kind of disclaimer in the video or someplace easily visible to them. I for one have 3 machines, my main uses esc, my secondary uses f12 and my third (which i barely use) takes f2 for the boot menu.
What is your project name and password 11:55 because when i hit enter he tell me to give him that?

Thank you for the effort you put in!! How do you change from fahrenheit to celsius on the waybar?
Hello, thank you for the comment! you will need to edit the following file:
~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc
search for the "temperature" module and update:
"format": "{temperatureF}°F ",
to:

it should be on line 115 inthe config

I'm interest to using hyperland for my desktop environment. Does it work on any desktop devices?
Hello and thank you for the question. So hyprland is in beta and its not designed with Nvidia GPUs in mind. With that said, I have found from the feedback that about 80-90% of the viewers who installed using the script were successful. Also to note that this is the first version of the install script and we are now on Version 4 with improved Nvidia support.

Hello and thank you for the comment. execute this command while in an Hyprland session:
hyprctl monitors
This would give you an output of your monitor port and resolution. you can then edit ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.con and update the line reading monitor= to
monitor=,1920x1080,auto, auto
Hope this solves the issue, thank you for watching!

Hi thanks for the tips very usefull, i have a question, i use popos for some times and lutris for gaming, some games work but some don't or work partially, example ghost recon breakpoint, the game launch but no way to play with 3440x1440 resolution and no way to change it because it stuck to 1280x270, i test with multiple runner no way to play the game with hight resolution, i have RTX 3070 and 3440x1440 monitor.
Thank you for the question. Lutris is very nice but it all depends on the script that was used to package the game and how well maintained it is. Most of the games I play on linux are through Steam and proton which works fantastic. I tried the same games through lutris and I was having similar issues to what you described, when I examined the lutris launch script I noticed it was outdated and havent been maintained in a while. You may want to check out the lutris forums for some help. Some very talented people there sometimes would have very impressive fixes.

Quick question. Arch newbie here. I installed this alongside Wayland, unaware that it isn't the same as something like installing a DE on Ubuntu, where you can just remove it and start pretty fresh. I ended up not needed Hyprland since i don't care much about ricing and didn't need all the utilities and functionality. Is there an easy way to remove all of this without losing data? I forgot to create a snapshot. Wayland was significantly laggier, terminal looked bad due to conflicting configs, etc.
