An option for moving from nvim to command prompt, is to use Ctrl-z from within nvim to send it to the background. Do your work on the command prompt, then type `fg` to pull nvim back to foreground. Back in the day, this trick really improved my flow, so thought I would pass it along
Just a lil tip. The angle change should be more purposeful. I like the idea, but I am sure you can improve the application. Keep up the great work. You make awesome videos
I was going to write him not to do as juniors that learned about Design Patters, are going to apply them everywhere. 🤪 @typecraft_dev We are joking with fondness, of course, but don't over do it please. P.s. Like the "btw", it's fun, once, but you are smarter and more professional to be relegated to "the guy that always says BTW" 🙂
I like the idea as well. I think (part of) why they feel a little off is because there’s a transition instead of a direct cut. I think it can be really great!
You don't even know how happy I am right now !!!!!!, A few days ago I saw a video of yours on i3 setup and man I am so used to it now, but now I am wanting to switch to hyprland and you are here, I just was on it today and now your video came up, I love you man, keep these coming !!!!!!!! and yes, Thanks Nerd.
To add to this: I highly reccomend taking the time to set all of this up YOURSELF. If you just go and find someome elses setup and take their dotfiles the odds of something being broken or slow are so much higher. It's worth the extra effort!
ML4W (my Linux for work) is a great out of the box configuration for hyprland. For beginners or someone who wants to use a configuration that is guaranteed to be functional it's a great option.
@@ImperiumLibertas I’ve tried it and it’s slower and laggier than a setup you could make yourself. Someone that uses it is going to have no idea what makes it slow either. I’m not the only one that has noticed this, Chris Titus also commented on it feeling slow.
For me, there wasn't enough documentation for to figure it out on my own. So, instead, I installed ML4W and then started tracing the path of how it worked. This allowed me to see how to configure modules for waybar, how other things in hyprland are configured, etc. This way, I could see HOW someone did something and then I can experiment with it. Because of this, I was able to make my own custom module game launcher which would have Steam, Lutris, and Heroic launchers for waybar. Before, I couldn't figure out how it was done. Looking at someone else's work helped me that way and I learned how it all works. Without any source code to go by, it can be hard to figure things out.
I've gave up on trying to use hyprland due to the amount of configurations I would need to make. Having a guide like this really gives a broad and simpler view of whats necessary. Definitely gonna give it another try. Great work
Hyprland is still pretty young, but looks so promising. I've been using it now for maybe 4 months and I zero issues. The learning curve is not that bad, and if you have already tried another WM like i3wm or swaywm you'll find it extremely easy to configure. Plus the utilities like hyprlock, hyprpaper, hyprctl are super good and well integrated.
Hi! I'm quite new to Linux overall so I'm still in the research phase until I get a computer. I just wanted to ask you how hyperland has been with gaming recently. Specifically with nvidia. I've heard that it has yet to mature and some aspects of it are doable with tweaking and things like that, but I wanted to ask about your specific experience with in if you happen to do any gaming at all. Also, i am aware that at the end of the day a window manager is mostly a preference thing and will have little to no effects on the gaming performance. When I ask about this i am mostly curious about compatibility as a daily driver and wayland support to most gaming related programs and how friendly it is to fullscreen gaming and resource alocation when the game is on fullscreen and things like that. Thanks in advance.
Amazing video and this made me subscribe! Out of everyone on youtube this is the most concise and clear understanding of how hyprland works and the config editing of each file. This was clear and to the point, and not to mention the amazing quality and editing. Really whats out there are just tutorials of people showing you how to run one command to install a premade setup for hyprland through some github dot repo, but really tutorials like this is what helps the linux community and people getting into the deep end on how to understand to learn for yourself and look out there for what you need!
I've been interested in using hyprland for a while (it looks freaking sick) but so far I've only dabbled into it with a preconfigured config. Your video helped me a lot to understand how it works and now it looks a lot less scary to me. I'm really looking forward to more videos about hyprland!
I'm reallllly happy u shifted form i3 to hyprland. I started using linux from ur linux for newbs playlist but I always wondered that isn't wayland gonna be the next big thing? I use hyprland. Configured it myself. Loving it. But I am actually happy seeing one of my favourite linux youtubers create a video for hyprland. W
The reason Wayland hasn't taken over X11 as the default is largely because of Nvidia. Nvidia still has a lot of issues on Linux in general, but particularly with Wayland. X11 is still more stable with Nvidia cards, though I am currently using Wayland and it has *mostly* been fine, aside from a few little graphical oddities here and there.
I just discovered your channel a few days ago and you are making really great videos. I followed this and a few others to reactivate an old MacBook Air 2013 with ArchLinux and now hyprland. I cannot wait for the next video in this series to follow along.
been maining arch+ hypr on my laptop for a while and it's been a great experience. config took a while, bouncing between json, lua and custom scripting to get everything (waybar, wallpapers, scaling etc.) playing nicely did take some time, but it was a very worthwhile project. I now have a fully customised, beautiful, DE that conforms exactly to my specifications and workflow and needs minimal management.
Awesome introductory vídeo! I'm looking into switching to hyprland soon and I live that instead of going into "hyprland conf is complicated for beginners, let's download a template" you treat you viewers as capable of learning and do it yourself. You got a new subscriber!!!
Love this!! I have been using hyprland on arch for a couple of months now. Spent about two weeks playing and breaking configs. Got custome wallpaper working. Got it to rotate wallpapers every minute. Got a lockscreen function enabled that uses a custome wallpaper. Waybar was interesting to setup. Used someone elses config as a base on that to have the right side look different. Also added a bunch of keyboard shortcuts in hyprland conf file.
Awesome tutorial, really goes in depth yet remains accessible to all. Great presentation as well. Thank you for sharing this, I come from hyprdots exactly because of the point you explained right at the beginning of the video. Hyperdots is fine(awesome, actually) but I wanted to know how each "piece of the puzzle" gets configured and connected to the rest of them, which will allow me to fine tune it to my own workflow much much better.
Fantastic video! Was also a really big fan of the fact that you demonstrated looking through Hyprland and Waybar's default config and started building a config rather than just saying "Here's how to install it, now go download my configs and you'll be all set!" Very much felt like the old adage of "Teach a person to fish..." and whatnot.
nice bro when i installed hyprland i didnt find any tutorial and just figured out myself :) just used for an year and then made my own dots and its been 6 months XD
Excellent vid to get people started.. funny that I actual heard and understood "manage pains" and not panes near the end.. seems about right for people who are used to a built GUI and wanting to finally dip toes into hyprland and tiling WMs..
I switched from gnome to hyprland a while ago and it was so refreshing and awesome. Recently I switched back from hyprland to gnome and it is sooo refreshing and awesome!
I’ve tried it once but didn’t take the time to dive deep in to how to set it up. Thank you for doing this as this does help to have a better start to configuring Hyperland

I have in the same machine sway, weston and i3wm and I select the session using sddm so that I can have sessions based on X11 or Wayland.

I came here as recommended by CJ from "Lifting Linux" and "Elevated Systems" Definitely will continue to watch your tutorials on Linux and Hyprland. Maybe it's just me, but right away I thought your camera angle switching happens TOO OFTEN and found it distracting. Other than that, great video.
Fun thing: instead of making a macro at 21:47, you can press: ^v12jex or ^v12jed - `Ctrl+v` (^v is the shorthand notation) to enter visual column mode - `12j` to navigate down the 12 lines - `e` to move to the end of the "//"s - `d` or `x` to delete the visually selected characters
This is very cool. I have tried Hyprland months ago and loved it but I have stuff holding me back to X. You made me want to try again. One thing is funny, you go as far as writing macros for repetitive actions in vim but you retype the same comment over and over instead of just going up in your terminal history lol
@@typecraft_dev np....a1rm4x channel is having a new stream on Friday about hyprland with cachyOS for use with gaming mainly.... I might consider doing this in the future but Gnome 46 is sort of okay for now. I am concerned about the stability (and hardware compatibility) of CachyOS (Arch based). Like if my Xerox B205 printer will work with CachyOS; Xerox list Ubuntu and RHEL but not Arch makes me wonder.
Made the jump from windows to Linux for my laptop about a week ago, sadly too early for this video but this series will surely help a lot of people making the jump!
Great video. I know its a tiling window manager but this would be a really good base for an actual DE. Mouse support, app menu, slap a dock a dock in there and you'd get a pretty but basic MacOS clone.
Wow! Thanks so much. This has gotten me started using Hyprland. My workflow doesn't necessarily git with Hyprland, hence why I have used KDE. But I still want to work with this and see how things go. Plus, it's just fun to learn new things. I will say, what I do notice is, not having to constantly take my hand away from the keyboard to move the mouse to move between windows is nice! As a programmer, I can see how this is something great, especially when I have multiple apps up (IDE, I support WebLogic apps so having my local WebLogic up in another window to monitor, documents to track testing, development/design ideas, etc). Being able to quickly switch between work spaces and windows via the keyboard is great. Now, if I could somehow do this on my work laptop which is unfortunately, Windows 11. But at home, it's fun to learn new things like this and see how well it works. I might be switching to this full-time at home. Eagerly awaiting the next video. Keep up the great content!
You can use Alt-Tab on both KDE and Windows instead of the mouse. 90% of the time it's a split second switch between the two most used windows anyway. But even when occasionally it's a switch to the 3rd or 4th window in the stack, hey, it's not 20th or 30th window. Still less than half a second - Alt-Tab-Tab, done.
@@AntThinker Not quite the same though as a tiling window manager. That's what I've grown to like with Hyprland - auto-tiling, and setting up workspaces where I can configure certain applications to go to those workspaces. I've set up workspaces for gaming (launch game launchers on one monitor in that workspace, and launch my games on the other monitor in that workspace), development, etc. Much better than having a bunch of overlapping windows.
@@iBolski I don't quite understand what people like about having several workspaces. Putting specific windows on specific monitors doesn't require workspaces as such, I guess. I definitely like the variety and freedom of choice under Linux, but I'm not ready to use something just because it exists, or is different, or "cool". Would you care to share how several workspaces really help you?
@@AntThinker Neither did I, but now that I've been doing it, it makes complete sense. If I have a workspace for one set of work, say admin work, documents, etc that I want to keep up while working, then another work space where I have all my programming apps up, I can switch between workspaces, keeping them separate and not having to minimize windows, etc to get them out of the way. I felt the same way as you, but now that I've tried it, it has made my workflow so much more efficient. It may not be for everyone, but I tried it, and I wonder why I never tried this before. it's not that I tried the latest/greatest thing. I decided to try it, and I found it worked out for me. It may not for you, but in my world of where I do support as well as development, I have to wear different hats that require different programs and processes. Keeping those separated into different work spaces allows me to switch quickly between my different "hats", not polluting one workspace with stuff from the other. Same with when I'm switching between say a dev, test, qa and prod environment when working on servers. I can keep them i separate workspaces rather than having them all in one workspace, trying to remember which environment I'm on. That's how workspaces work for me.
I’ll definitely be installing this - I’ve used Linux for years, but within the last 2 years moved to Mac which I have loved. I’m building my own PC and this looks to have some of the things I came to love about Mac. Looks so clean compared to the windows style dumbness
Thanks for your heart... A bit curious to know while installing hyprland on your system, the DE installed already on arch is Gnome DE.? It looks to me like it's Gnome....

At 6:22, before logging out, i would suggest trying to run "hyprland" on the terminal. It will crash, but it will also generate the default config file and you can check if the keyboard layout matches your region. If you're not from the US you might have problems with the next steps because of that.
Also a little gem for the folks still on windows (because of whatever reason, i dont judge), fancywm. kinda replicates the function of a tiling wm manager on linux
Hyprland on three PCs. Two Fedora and one CachyOS. Attractive DE. The workflow performance is outstanding. It does require a little work, but that's the fun part of it! Kitty terminal. Zen browser. Micro editor. Nemo. Zoxide. Yad. fzf. This Linux stuff is great.
Here's a tip for anyone who wants better ergonomics while using Hyprland, but just can't stand using the Vim key-binds for changing windows: Use the IJKL keys instead, with a layout similar to WASD. This allows your right hand to still be near important keys, without sacrificing your muscle memory of using the arrow keys.
This looks great if you have four or five windows open. I typically have 20-30 across different virtual screens, because i work on several things at once. I need wide tall windows to edit code and monitor logs, so overlapping is needed. Tiling just doesn't scale.
Hyprland is nice. It has probably got me into Linux more than anything in the last 24 years that I've been using it on and off. And that was after being someone who didn't like tiling WMs because they were confusing. Having a baseline config that just needed to be tweaked to be useable was a good start. The animations and feel made it desirable enough to push to learn more. And now I can use i3 too for the times I have issues specific to wayland because it's similar enough and I could get through my concerns about the config.
I enjoyed the video and learned more about Hyperland. I am not a big fan of tiling window managers. My vision is not as good as it was when I was younger, so squeezing more windows in the same amount of space just makes it harder to see. I prefer Virtual Desktops with edge shifting.
I am also not a big fan of mucking around in config files. I will surely forget what files I mucked around in, and what I did to them, and how to fix what I broke.
In X11 it was quite normal to type --replace to change the current running window manager. I have no idea if that's even possible with wayland, because the "window manager" is basically the "driver" too
I f*cking love this. I mean, i always wanted mac because it is just laid out so much better than windows, but this is a whole new level. It's moments like this that I wish I had two laptops so i could follow along... I haven't watched this though since I started using Linux 3 months ago, so who knows, maybe I didn't understand and I will be able to set this up before starting it.... let's see :) Otherwise it's my phone and a bit more patience.
i love Hyprland. I used it daily for a couple of months. But i ultimately had to move away from it. Im a student, so i’m required to use windows regularly for work, and i also play games that run very poorly on Proton. so that flow that i learn using Hyprland is hard to stick to when switching to windows and using that almost 50% of the time. It’s kind of like switching your keyboard layout every day. I also didn’t have a great time with stability. Getting set up with an nvidia gpu is fairly complicated and sometimes doesn’t work. I’ve also had issues when updating to a new Hyprland version, getting lag, and weird broken effects. When im out of school I’ll probably get an amd gpu, and use hyprland regularly.
An option for moving from nvim to command prompt, is to use Ctrl-z from within nvim to send it to the background. Do your work on the command prompt, then type `fg` to pull nvim back to foreground. Back in the day, this trick really improved my flow, so thought I would pass it along

The best video about Hyprland what I have found! ❤
This is very cool. I have tried Hyprland months ago and loved it but I have stuff holding me back to X. You made me want to try again. One thing is funny, you go as far as writing macros for repetitive actions in vim but you retype the same comment over and over instead of just going up in your terminal history lol
ML4W for easy hyprland configuration I read others use this. I like how typecraft is explaining the basics though in this video, thanks.
Thank YOU
@@typecraft_dev np....a1rm4x channel is having a new stream on Friday about hyprland with cachyOS for use with gaming mainly.... I might consider doing this in the future but Gnome 46 is sort of okay for now. I am concerned about the stability (and hardware compatibility) of CachyOS (Arch based). Like if my Xerox B205 printer will work with CachyOS; Xerox list Ubuntu and RHEL but not Arch makes me wonder.
Made the jump from windows to Linux for my laptop about a week ago, sadly too early for this video but this series will surely help a lot of people making the jump!
Thumbnail is 10/10 my dude
Great video. I know its a tiling window manager but this would be a really good base for an actual DE. Mouse support, app menu, slap a dock a dock in there and you'd get a pretty but basic MacOS clone.
OMG this it. this what i am looking forr..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG thanks sirrr..
Bro you're the best 💎✨
Wow! Thanks so much. This has gotten me started using Hyprland. My workflow doesn't necessarily git with Hyprland, hence why I have used KDE. But I still want to work with this and see how things go. Plus, it's just fun to learn new things. I will say, what I do notice is, not having to constantly take my hand away from the keyboard to move the mouse to move between windows is nice! As a programmer, I can see how this is something great, especially when I have multiple apps up (IDE, I support WebLogic apps so having my local WebLogic up in another window to monitor, documents to track testing, development/design ideas, etc). Being able to quickly switch between work spaces and windows via the keyboard is great. Now, if I could somehow do this on my work laptop which is unfortunately, Windows 11. But at home, it's fun to learn new things like this and see how well it works. I might be switching to this full-time at home. Eagerly awaiting the next video. Keep up the great content!
You can use Alt-Tab on both KDE and Windows instead of the mouse. 90% of the time it's a split second switch between the two most used windows anyway. But even when occasionally it's a switch to the 3rd or 4th window in the stack, hey, it's not 20th or 30th window. Still less than half a second - Alt-Tab-Tab, done.
@@AntThinker Not quite the same though as a tiling window manager. That's what I've grown to like with Hyprland - auto-tiling, and setting up workspaces where I can configure certain applications to go to those workspaces. I've set up workspaces for gaming (launch game launchers on one monitor in that workspace, and launch my games on the other monitor in that workspace), development, etc. Much better than having a bunch of overlapping windows.
@@iBolski I don't quite understand what people like about having several workspaces. Putting specific windows on specific monitors doesn't require workspaces as such, I guess. I definitely like the variety and freedom of choice under Linux, but I'm not ready to use something just because it exists, or is different, or "cool". Would you care to share how several workspaces really help you?
@@AntThinker Neither did I, but now that I've been doing it, it makes complete sense. If I have a workspace for one set of work, say admin work, documents, etc that I want to keep up while working, then another work space where I have all my programming apps up, I can switch between workspaces, keeping them separate and not having to minimize windows, etc to get them out of the way. I felt the same way as you, but now that I've tried it, it has made my workflow so much more efficient. It may not be for everyone, but I tried it, and I wonder why I never tried this before. it's not that I tried the latest/greatest thing. I decided to try it, and I found it worked out for me. It may not for you, but in my world of where I do support as well as development, I have to wear different hats that require different programs and processes. Keeping those separated into different work spaces allows me to switch quickly between my different "hats", not polluting one workspace with stuff from the other. Same with when I'm switching between say a dev, test, qa and prod environment when working on servers. I can keep them i separate workspaces rather than having them all in one workspace, trying to remember which environment I'm on. That's how workspaces work for me.
@@iBolski Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Sir, you are a natural born teacher! Thank you!
I’ll definitely be installing this - I’ve used Linux for years, but within the last 2 years moved to Mac which I have loved. I’m building my own PC and this looks to have some of the things I came to love about Mac. Looks so clean compared to the windows style dumbness
Waiting for the next episode ... Learning so much from your channel... "Thanks Nerds" ... ❤
Thanks for your heart... A bit curious to know while installing hyprland on your system, the DE installed already on arch is Gnome DE.? It looks to me like it's Gnome....
At 6:22, before logging out, i would suggest trying to run "hyprland" on the terminal. It will crash, but it will also generate the default config file and you can check if the keyboard layout matches your region. If you're not from the US you might have problems with the next steps because of that.
Thanks for this guide! now i need to figure out nvim.
We got you. th-cam.com/play/PLsz00TDipIffreIaUNk64KxTIkQaGguqn.html&si=rmHkJ_lxlJSjGYkg
Also a little gem for the folks still on windows (because of whatever reason, i dont judge), fancywm. kinda replicates the function of a tiling wm manager on linux
Thanks for this
Switched to hyprland two months ago and never going back hyprland is love ❤
Mother of Coincidence 🤯
Just setup Hyprland using HyprDots repo on my Arch Linux setup yesterday.
Same but i did that like 10 days ago
@@deshraj-tiwari I did it like 10 years ago..
@@newolde1 15 years ago here... where you all been.

Hyprland on three PCs. Two Fedora and one CachyOS. Attractive DE. The workflow performance is outstanding. It does require a little work, but that's the fun part of it! Kitty terminal. Zen browser. Micro editor. Nemo. Zoxide. Yad. fzf. This Linux stuff is great.
I'm glad Wayland is getting lots of attention and I'll more than likely be using it eventually but I'm hesitant to call it ready and switch.
Can't wait to see the customization videos
I keep coming back to this. PLEASE KEEP DOING HYPRLAND VIDEOS
Working on another now!!
Here's a tip for anyone who wants better ergonomics while using Hyprland, but just can't stand using the Vim key-binds for changing windows: Use the IJKL keys instead, with a layout similar to WASD. This allows your right hand to still be near important keys, without sacrificing your muscle memory of using the arrow keys.
Thank you for the good video. Now i want hyprland too.
Just shifted to Cachy OS Hyprland this week.
Gaming + Coding been a Blast.
does it ship default hypr configuration or with some customization?
Man, I've been meaning to dive into Hyprland, but my Sway config is so nice...
This looks great if you have four or five windows open. I typically have 20-30 across different virtual screens, because i work on several things at once. I need wide tall windows to edit code and monitor logs, so overlapping is needed. Tiling just doesn't scale.
the intro is so good 😁
Sweet sauce, thanks buddy.
Watching this on my arch hyprland thinkpad feels good.
Haha love it!!
why? Because it strokes your narcissism of small differences ego??
@@noahjoyner8232 Yes, i love having my narcissism stroked. I use arch btw.
@@noahjoyner8232 Stroke his narcissism!
Really happy I changed to hyprland. Works great on my fedora setup
Hyprland is nice. It has probably got me into Linux more than anything in the last 24 years that I've been using it on and off. And that was after being someone who didn't like tiling WMs because they were confusing. Having a baseline config that just needed to be tweaked to be useable was a good start. The animations and feel made it desirable enough to push to learn more. And now I can use i3 too for the times I have issues specific to wayland because it's similar enough and I could get through my concerns about the config.
absolut great content. Thank you a a lot! ❤❤❤
Cant wait for part 2 and onwards.
Thank you for making this video
editing is golden
Thank you!! Trying out something new with a 2nd camera
I can't get dark mode to work, hope you touch on that subject in the next video! BTW, great video, clear and simple, as always!
Just got this installed on my main fedora box. I must say this one is a whole lot easier to get going than Yazi was!
Hyprland is great...my first toe dip in tiling WMs. I run mainly cheap old used Chromebooks and it's still blistering fast.
I enjoyed the video and learned more about Hyperland.
I am not a big fan of tiling window managers. My vision is not as good as it was when I was younger, so squeezing more windows in the same amount of space just makes it harder to see.
I prefer Virtual Desktops with edge shifting.
I am also not a big fan of mucking around in config files. I will surely forget what files I mucked around in, and what I did to them, and how to fix what I broke.
رائع. ساعدتني كثيرا شكرا عمو 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I am now hooked
In X11 it was quite normal to type --replace
to change the current running window manager.
I have no idea if that's even possible with wayland, because the "window manager" is basically the "driver" too
Look who is back ❤🎉🔥
I f*cking love this. I mean, i always wanted mac because it is just laid out so much better than windows, but this is a whole new level. It's moments like this that I wish I had two laptops so i could follow along... I haven't watched this though since I started using Linux 3 months ago, so who knows, maybe I didn't understand and I will be able to set this up before starting it.... let's see :)
Otherwise it's my phone and a bit more patience.
I love your content, but these front-left camera transitions are soooo distracting. Please keep it simple and stick to one camera angle.
When apt/pacman etc ask [Y/n] you don't need to type 'y'. The capital letter signifies the default that would be accepted by pressing Enter
i love Hyprland. I used it daily for a couple of months.
But i ultimately had to move away from it. Im a student, so i’m required to use windows regularly for work, and i also play games that run very poorly on Proton.
so that flow that i learn using Hyprland is hard to stick to when switching to windows and using that almost 50% of the time. It’s kind of like switching your keyboard layout every day.
I also didn’t have a great time with stability. Getting set up with an nvidia gpu is fairly complicated and sometimes doesn’t work. I’ve also had issues when updating to a new Hyprland version, getting lag, and weird broken effects.
When im out of school I’ll probably get an amd gpu, and use hyprland regularly.
The thing in afraid of hyperland is so many animations. I really like a minimalist setup in most senses
dont forget to mention the wiki. It has so much information. nearly anything you want to do can be found in the wiki
