I hope that one day the kernel anti-bs is solved in a way I just don't need windows... when that day comes we can finally say that we play any game on Linux... until then it's either dual boot or having two computers...
I agree! I did end up fully switching my gaming PC to Linux but I still use boosteroid for anti cheat games.
@@TheBlackDon even so... there are games that you won't be able to play with boosteroid or any cloud gamming platform... and so it happens that I have one game that I like to play that falls into that category... League of legends :D So no I have to dual boot and for the other games that have kernel anti-cheat that does not solve anything that was supposed to solve anyway
Can I know where you got your desk pad at I love it

@@TheBlackDon thank you so much
Nice video, but would be better with timecodes or list of apps
Thanks! 💯😎 Noted for next time!
Hi, which browser are you using ? Thanks and good video 👍
It's Zen Browser 😎, great browser you should try it! And thanks!
Hello What browser is in the video? Zen browser?
Yeah it's Zen Browser 😎
they changed the branding with the last update and a whole lotta stuff too. it feels like a new browser with each update
@kuma8030 Yeah they did, it's pretty crazy how far it's come. Felt like a Firefox fork at first but now it feels like it's one thing.
@@TheBlackDon it's "a" thing that's for sure. I like it but damn they make me go "loco" with each ui change.
also for settings themes nwg-look is a good one plus after 10:06 there is a fun suprise
I like using hyprpanel as my taskbar. And for the hyprland config I use hyprgui. I had an issue with the hyprpanel and set my font out of range, but the dev for it got back to me after less than a day and gave me the command to clear my cache to clear the out of range setting. They also updated their wiki with the command. Linux devs can be pretty awesome if you don't whine.
Nice! Yeah, Jas is awesome. I made a full video on Hyprpanel and we had an issue that someone commented on the video and Jas commented back with a fix and the next day had a permanent fix update. AND then Jas joined my discord just to ask if we got it figured out. I love the linux community!
I am so glad I found this, thank you
Welcome! 💯😎 The only downside is there is an update to it like daily lol but other than that it works great!
i looked for solutions to play games on linux, thank you for this! can you please test, how it runs new games, like stalker or indiana jones? i’m thinking to buy it
No problem! I have not played either of those but I'll see if I can download them and try it out. 😎💯
I switched too. Any tips for gaming on Linux?
The first tip is patience. Not everything is going to work just ootb but it's worth it in the end. I personally like to use arch for gaming because you always have the most updated packages and drivers. Which helps with performance and compatibility. You're welcome to join my discord. We help each other with issues or just talk about games and Linux. discord.gg/sUDGzEH9Ms
please look into your audio for future videos as the audio is super low volume on this video so had to increase audio level tons
Thanks for the input! I will look into that. Thanks! 💯😎
I use 40% of the time Android, 30% Windows, 30% Linux. I don't have the 'main' system because Android isn't my main, just used more often because I don't like to sit in front of computer for hours. Combining all these OSes into a coherent system is such PITA honestly.
Not for me, I enjoy it. I'm always tinkering with my set up. So it doesn't bother me at all.
Bro got the setup
Thanks 💯
Did you really reply to every comment? Damn you got my subscription sir!
😂😂 sure did. This is my favorite comment so far tho! 💯💪🏾😎
For someone who has been slowly learning how to configure Waybar but doesn't have that much time to experiment, make mistakes, look solutions up, rinse and repeat, this was a nice novelty to discover. Will give it a go. Thank you. P.S. How is that Discord theme customised? Is it BetterDiscord, or just opacity effect applied to the default theme in some way?
First, you are very welcome! I'm glad I came across this tool. And I was using vesktop with a vencord theme and I also did have opacity in my Windows set in my Hyprland config.
@@TheBlackDon Thank you, my hyprland config opacity setting seems to only work on terminal windows and not GTK apps, but now that I know this can be done, I will research this and Vencord further.

I tried to get Hyperland on my Endevaour OS or Archraft. Failed at both, especially Endevaour... It just would not work and when I somehow got it it was so barebones that I had no idea where to start. Is there any Guide on how to install Hytperland on Archraft or Endeavour OS that is updated and has pre-build themes I can costumize?
You could use my other video "preconfigured Hyprland install" to install HyDE and configure it from there. I use cachyos but it may work on endeavouros as well.
You can just download bin lol
Great video!
Thanks! 😎💯
how the heck you have tow gpus in in pc right now and those different from each other’s
Are you referring to my integrated GPU and my dedicated GPU?
@@TheBlackDonprobably
Your dots?

When i log in, monitors just stay black and nothing happens. I have to change the session type for it to work, but idk what and why that is actually
You want to choose the session that says just "Hyprland". Depending on the distro, sometimes it installs multiple session types.
Good review, just general feedback, pay attention to how often you say "uhm". It's quite distracting, but overall I really enjoyed the review!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I actually started editing out my uhms lol it annoys me too!
@@TheBlackDon you are no where near as bad as the architect i'm working with. having meetings with her is absurd um like um yeah um like um yeah.
Good Job Bro ! Whishing you the Best !!!
Thanks man, I appreciate it! 💯😎
@@TheBlackDon It's a pleasure !
Bro just a question, I saw that your terminal has a different 'style' in ur previous videos... so my question is, are u using the same Kitty terminal? or Why is ur terminal looking different than default HyDe? btw nice video!
Thanks! 💯😎 And it's the same kitty terminal. I installed zsh powerlevel10k theme and updated my fastfetch to look different well. I updated things so often so I'm not sure which older video you are referring to😂
Bro thank u so much! Now I realize that ur theme in that video was "jonathan", should be nice if u show how to change between this Kitty themes in other video, but don't worry my friend, I know u are doing ur best and I appreciate that! Greetings from the SouthAmerica :)
@darkfire2959 thanks! I may do a terminal theming video. That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video!
Thanks! 💯😎
Nice tool but the title is clearly clickbait. Everything related to the actual statusbar is achievable through waybar. The gui and batteries included defaults do make it more accessible. So it would be a good choice for people getting started. I don't see how someone already using waybar would profit since this adds extra bloat to the system.
Yah know what, I appreciate your comment. A lot of others are just like why would I do that. But you are calling it out for what it is. Yes, the title is a little click-baity. That honestly wasn't my intention initially. When I first started messing with Hyprpanel that's truly how I felt about it's capabilities. After using it for a while I do still have the waybar configured and switch back and forth as it definitely takes up more resources to run Hyprpanel over waybar.
Because of how you worded this I changed my title and thumbnail. Click bait was not my intention. 😎💯
Do you think it would be better to install cachyos hyprland instead of no desktop and then rjce it or install other scripts? Lmk pls
This would definitely be more of a preference. Depends on how comfortable you are with editing the dotfiles. Most of the preconfigured scripts are automatically themed based on your wallpaper. Either way is a good option imo.
which command prompt theme is that?
Zsh powerlevel10k
nice vid 😁. But have you ever thought of getting a capture card just to make recording these kinds of videos easier
😂😂 yeah I've thought about it. But I have the meta smart glasses so that's what I was using to record it. It was pretty easy. Obviously I could move my head less 😂💯
@@TheBlackDon Oh yeah ! Thanks.
TartarusV2 or Tartarus Pro? Currently which one should I buy?
I suggest the V2. The pro switches seem more gimmicky than practical. They have 2 points which can be bound to separate keybinds based on how hard you press in the key but when gaming it's not natural to think to use them.
@@TheBlackDon Ty
Is that still hyperland? I noticed you have a dock at the bottom. Was curious what the dock was.
Yup! It's 'nwg-dock-hyprland'. It's a pretty simplistic easy to configure dock for hyprland.
Hyprgui: Everything Hyprpanel does but written in rust.
I just started looking at this about a week ago. 💪🏾Thanks for the suggestions!
my fav browser is arc but it doesn't work on my linux laptop so i use zed on my laptop and arc on my phone and windows pc
I actually did not realize arc had a mobile app. It would be nice if they brought arc to Linux.
@@TheBlackDon, yeah, their app is really nice on phones. It's way different than the desktop version, but it has AI features that I really like. Zen browser, though, is very similar to Arc. I still prefer Arc, but Zen is a close second for me. Also, I typed Zed instead of Zen because I also recently switched from vscode to zed the code editor.
Many people say it will stop working after 2 years is this true
So I've had it for like 9 months and it's still going strong. I can't speak for 2 years just yet.
mine is 2022 version and still going strong the keyboard had broken down so i had to change and the battery life is not good, besides that everything else is fine the laptop is powerful, fast and portable ...
Bars and panels are a great example where 95% of the use case is the same for almost all users and having a set of sane defaults and easy configuration without having to use a programming language makes hyprland even more accessible. I want a beautiful desktop but I really don't want to spend hours programming modules in waybar to get my minimal yet nice looking bar functional.
Agreed. That is why I liked the Hyprpanel made it easier to configure to my liking
i discovered zen browser a few weeks ago and been in love with it ever since. its like arc browser but actually good
That's facts 😂
Firstly, great video, good work! Secondly I want to ask a question only because you use laptop with external monitors in Arch Linux, Hyprland. I have the same setup like hyprland on a gaming laptop with dedicated GPU etc. I am using external monitor with HDMI cable which connects to my 3060 Mobile GPU. Whenever I use that external monitor, the monitor get lagged, looks like very low fps and my GPU usages are getting high. I use windows as a dual boot, windows hasn't got that issue. Did you face with this problem or can you suggest anything?. I am desperate right now.
Thanks! 💯😎 First I was asked if you are using the proprietary driver's? You may have to update some things in your config to get the most out of your Nvidia GPU. I did experience flickering at one point but I was able to solve that. If it's not GPU related it might be how your monitors are set up in your Hyprland config. Gotta make sure it's set to the right scale and resolution for that monitor that is connected.
@@TheBlackDon I am checked everything and I can't get them work fine. I will try CachyOS tomorrow. And if you not forgot, can you say how did you solve the problem? Thanks for your quick reply. Note: If I use only the Dedicated GPU and set the system as work on only Dedicated GPU, only my external monitor works and it is not working low fps. My integrated laptop GPU shows only black screen.
@bugraerenbulgay9080 that is very interesting! Cachyos is a great distro with good Nvidia support. That's definitely worth a try. If you still can't figure it out join the discord and my and my community can help you out further! discord.gg/sUDGzEH9Ms
This was a great deep dive on different browsers. It was nice to hear your thoughts and the way you use them. (For example, containerizing different profiles if I understood correctly. And switching between them if it's TH-cam related, work related, or if it's for personal usage.) In my case, I use Brave browser on mobile (I used to stick to Mozilla Firefox but I have heard they were enabling some settings and stuff, so I decided to ditch Firefox.) and using Microsoft Edge on desktop (however, I have both Chrome and Brave installed as well.) I cannot make a decision yet (in terms of the browser I'd stick to on desktop.) so I guess the time will tell lol
Time will definitely tell lol I still use other browsers like edge and thorium from time to time because Zen is not chromium based but I have been using web apps for the websites I need chromium for so they open as separate Windows (apps) and I use Zen for all other browsing and web needs. I think I'm happy. For now haha 😂
2:48 a bit of audio crackle but a solid vid anyways 😁😁
Haha yeah I noticed that after the fact! 🤣
I thought my computer was exploding
Haha sorry about that!
what browser is that and can i have your dotfiles for it?
It's called Zen Browser, It does not have a config but I just recorded a video on my browser journey 😂. I show all the mods I have installed. I'm posting it tomorrow morning!
@@TheBlackDon thank you!
depends on gtk4. bloatware just like waybar.
What do you use?
Well, I don't know CSS, or Json, or Python scripting, or GTK. New to Arch Linux and a recent Windows refugee. I've used other people's dot files...the first go around with Arch. The problem is, after I do that and with some of their install scripts and after they update...they often change over to new packages as they change their mind on how they want their dotfiles to run. As a beginner this has been kind of frustrating. Yes, I've made some successful changes to the configs. Yes, I am not afraid of using nvim or using sudo to get in there and make some changes. Some of it is self explanatory, but with the basic configs, I don't happen to know what else can be done there. I hack what is there, but don't know all of the things I could do with it. I've been tinkering with waybar for a couple of weeks now, and am at a loss on how to get it looking like how I want it to look, and acting like how I want it to act. In the end, I might give waybar a rest for now. It is great and all, but hyprpanel looks like it might end up being more maintained, and in the end...I am not sure if it is going to be worth it to me, even as I fight this learning curve, to just become an expert on waybar...only so I can get it to do what hyprpanel does. Thank you for this video. I am going to give it a shot. It might help me have a nice rice for myself. I won't be posting on (unixp0rn) to show off, because basically all I would be doing is showing off work that wasn't my own. You did a fantastic job of giving an overview of the potential and possiblities for most of the features and presented it in a good way. Thank you.
I am picking up a V2 this weekend and am excited to try it. I play mostly Fortnite, so this will be a change. I have a Redragon one handed keyboard now so the transition will not be too tough, except for the thumbstick. Great review and an honest one at that. There is a lot of negative videos on this keyboard, which doesnt help people decide if this will be right for them. Great work!
Thanks! I try to keep it 💯 with my reviews and not over hype or just trash a product. All tech has a use case for somebody or it would not have made it to production. But I actually miss using mine. I've been using another one that I have a review for coming next week. But it's nothing like the razer tatartus lol different in many ways.
🥱
Thanks for the comment 💪🏾
Please someone make video of install hyperdots
You want a video on how to install someone else's hyprdots like HyDE, end-4, or ml4w?
@TheBlackDon HyDE one pls
you should try vesktop to have discord work better with wayland and overall - with audio and screen and also some more script.
I actually just installed that like a week ago! It's working much better. Someone from my discord had mentioned that too. Thanks for the suggestion!!
hey i did t get what script or theme you used to have such clear theme (the transcript say zero linux script) do you have a link ? thanks for the video and information on the setup (kind of cheating to have a 2nd pc to use as game mode for windows only)
I was using this script here: wiki.xerolinux.xyz/rice/ Haha I wouldn't say cheating but it's definitely not possible for everyone 😂😂
The thing is where is settings 😂
Haha there really aren't settings on hyprland. You have to edit the configuration file. I do have a video on that too.
