If Hyprland isn't working for you on invidia. It's an issue with how you have things set up at this point. It works fine for others, also running invidia cards. Also by default it flashes a warning message on top until you edit it out of the config. The default keybind to launch the terminal is super q. I'll also add. You need to have kitty and wofi installed. Or you will end up in a bspwm with no sxhkd, and xterm situation.
Refreshing 👍 Re: distro upgrades (6:24), there's rolling releases, too. An alternative that fits certain use cases, configurations and architectures, though not necessarily always better.
Small thing for your Hyprland issues, it might be that you are missing the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel flag alongside the no hardware cursor setting in the Hyprland config: cursor { no_hardware_cursors = true } Hope this helps you get Hyprland to run. If you did that already, then idk, nvidia....
Yeah, I miss that a lot. When I was on Mint, Cinnamon extension could use that daily wallpaper, now I came back to Slackware with Fluxbox, and unfortunately there is nothing like that in it. I may look into it and maybe with a script I will be able to impolement it, but for now I have a static wallpaper.
been watching for years, fellow voluntary bald man. yea shaving your head is just more efficient and hygienic. i like that in the summer i just take my hat off and its like instant AC. i work in kitchens so having hair means you gotta wear a hat and its hot in there. would be funny to see you with hair at some point would probably throw me off lol
I have a RTX-4090 and it works rather well with the latest kernel and proprietary drivers. Next big release is supposed to be open sourced driver and the proprietary driver is going to be depreciated. Not sure which model Nvidia card you have on hand at home. But you should be able to get it working.
I always have had Nvidia GPU since the end of 90s but I have never had major issues with Nvidia on Linux. Maybe I'm just Lucky. Currently I use hyprland on my old old quadro m4000 card and I have no issue with hyprland at all. I use hyprland for about a year now and nothing...

I admire that you don't allow yourself to get dragged into political nonsense on your channel. Whatever your political views are personally should not prevent you from interacting with others when discussing FOSS and Linux or from using any particular software. I don't worry about what the political views are of those that produce the software I use. If it works for me, that's all that matters to me.
I'm assuming you're referring to fascists. I guess it's _technically_ politics. But why do you use Linux? Does everything work "better" for you? Better than an OTS computer with Windows, or a Mac?
Idk why people assume if your not using Wayland you must hate it or protesting it. In my case I have an old Nvidia card in a ThinkPad that is stuck on a legacy driver. Linux Mint was the first distro to not give me a total black screen with Wayland. And its experimental. Mint ftw. But until its final I have to use Xorg because, while Mint works, it still has some missing stuff. It is experimental. Put simply. Some of us use Xorg because its all that will work on our machines. My machine has 8 threads, 32GB of RAM and is perfectly fine to run. And should not be forced into obsolescence for the sake of Wayland. And Imma keep it working for as long as I can. I want to move to Wayland. I simply cannot yet. I think a lot of Wayland advocates are not taking these things into consideration. Not all, but many.
Hey DT thanks for being a great online human being. I assume Head and Shoulders is not one of your patrons. There's always Irish Spring. On to a pressing, lingering, software crisis: What about that serious issue with Arch "not" supporting RPMs? That doesn't involve a GUI, compositor, icon highlights, fonts, or even an international crisis. :)
@@mllarson It is the sign of someone that views the culture war as it is. They are narcissists as you say, but they're winning the culture war and changing the landscape of political discourse in the process, because they are basically nagging everyone to follow their worldview or else they get chastised or cancelled.
2:36 Interesting. I've been on Hyprland Wayland with Nvidia for months now. Maybe switch to NixOS instead? That's what I'm on. Maybe its Wayland support is just better than Arch for some reason?
One thing everybody can do is stop using the feed. Clean up your subscription list and instead of using the regular feed, use the subscription feed. This way you can stay up to date with your favorite creators with the added benefit that youtube has less control over your decision making and isn't brainwashing you every step of the way
I think the point some people are trying to make (albeit in a very much roundabout way) is that your separating politics from whatever you talk about actually showcases your political stance. It's rare for our political stance to be something we can just hide about ourselves. So when you say you don't care about someone's opinions or what color of skin they have it sounds like "I don't see color", which is a right-leaning stance. Now I don't know what your political views are at all, but it's not hard to predict someone's political views from the manner in which they speak about world issues. And it's not really possible to separate politics from anything in the world, because in a way everything in the world is political.
The hypr thing is strange, especially with some reflection. Using Linux itself, as a personal computing environment, is an exercise is sacrificing convenience for principle. Not using hypr because of Vaxry's views and his community is similar to my decision to devote extra time and effort in order to have an ethical computing environment. I hope this inspires you to re-examine your opinion.
I'v use linux off and on for 15 year I start with ubuntu 9.10 and since then I've used all different types of distros but I always went back to Windows over games not working or was buggy like World of Warcraft where parts of the ground would be black because couldn't render textures had Nvidia card at the time. Over the years start to use AMD hardware but did not go back to linux for 3 to 4 years so never really fully got to test Proton because it was a baby at the time but I downloaded Geruda Linux and start using it and since I switched I haven't felt the urge to go back I have 60+ games installed and all works great and no spyware or ai taking screenshots LOL but if it wasn't for you DT and your videos I would have probably still been using windows so thank you (sorry for the writing bad at typing English)
"Having no problems" with some abhorent political beliefs is often inevitably the expression of a political belief in itself. The belief that said opinions are acceptable and legitimate in a public debate.
I think it'd be neat if DT let his hair grow back once so we can all witness it, same as him since it's been over 20 years, and then he can go back to shaving it. haha
Here's the thing about people with political views you find repugnant: they're not going to change their opinions because you're refusing to have anything to do with them. And the more you attack their character, the more they tend to dig in out of spite, anyway. You're taking a person with a political point of view, and now you're giving them an excuse to use spite to stick to their principles. It's a dumb tactic if your goal is to change minds or move the needle. And I'd ask, for people who do this, who shun or cancel people: when was the last time you changed your mind because someone did that to you? If you *really want to get on the nerves* of a political opponent, the most effective hing you can do is make them like you. That will cause them a cognitive dissonance in which they have to revisit assumptions about points of view *they* disagree with. Like rather than thinking of their opponents as utter bastards who attack them and cancel them and ostracize them, maybe they'll have to go through the process of reconsidering a bunch of assumptions. This modern thing where we don't talk to each other because we disagree is an expression of weakness, tribalism, and the worst within us. You can call someone a scumbag all you want, but you have to have a really outlandishly high self-opinion and ego to think this has any impact other than, perhaps, a counterproductive one. It makes *you* look like a strident, intolerable jerk. We used to understand this (at least here in the US where I'm from). At some point people forgot this. Refusing to interact with someone because of their views, ultimately makes you look *weak.*
Your software beliefs are political, I would say very extremely political, to the point I have asked you before to make more technical videos and less soapbox. It's funny to hear you talk about not caring about politics when I have always considered your videos the same direction as myself but so extreme I have to take a break from watching. Maybe you have a different definition of what political means, but your software beliefs, lectures, and rants are very much political. Mostly, I don't care because I have similar beliefs. But the lack of self-awareness here is amusing.
I appreciate your stance on separating software from politics, but it seems in conflict with your view on using Firefox. You use the politics of Mozilla's leadership as the final straw for why you stopped using it and recommend others do the same. Don't get me wrong, as a daily user, I know there are plenty of issues with Firefox as a piece of software, but these issues have nothing to do with politics. I don't aim to convince you either way (I couldn't even if I tried) but I don't think there is more merit in not liking Firefox for its creator's politics than in people complaining about the politics of some distro you've showcased.
Everyone is always saying hyperland is the future and x11 is dying... Is there actually a why to this ?? X11 works for millions of people everyday all day all around the world and hyperland lacks basic functionality and barely works. I really don't get why we need to X, is it just too bloated? Hyperland feels like all hype and at the end of the day I don't think alot of us will wanna give up on our own custom WM configs. Honestly my DWM looks 10x better with a custom picom fork doing rounded corners, floating bar , blur , and window animations like hyperland configs usually have. Yes, it's visual fluff but it still runs perfectly, I've never had X crash on me doing all that stuff and it was easy. I just don't get all the "hype"rland 😂
X just has some limitations compared to what the modern user is expecting from a computer, after all, how could a a networked graphics protocol from the 70's be expected to handle multiple monitors with different refresh rates and resolution with fractional scaling without screen tearing like we see on modern computers? I use X (mainly on BSD) and wayland, but the issues with X should be pretty apparent.
>Everyone is always saying hyperland is the future and x11 is dying You mean wayland >Hype about wayland It has some advantages, for example if you do not run any x programs through xwayland, then it is faster and there is no overhead of interprocess communication. There is just one process, the display server, which is also the window manager. In X11, these two are separate programs that communicate with each other. If you want compositing, it is faster too in wayland since it is build from ground up to support it. This allows for some nice and cool animations like compiz had, but faster. If you don't care about animations this is probably irrelevant However, several actors in wayland, GNOME being the most powerful one want the protocol to be as barebones as possible and not support many features most people would consider basic, in a pure gnome fashion. That is why there are still a lot of things that just work on X11 and fail on wayland.
@@mirey-lamb I feel like all of those perceived gains come at a hugeeee cost. For one thing ... Not using x programs ?? So you mean most application GUI software that exists for Unix systems ? I don't even use the gui as much as an average user but that does seem like a significant handicap. Also, if you run Wayland and not hyperland does that mean you use a traditional DE? I genuinely don't know but if that's the case then the "speed" of your graphical performance is gonna be based on how fast that system is anyway. The best answer is can give is compositing and animations never lags on my machine with just a good old picom fork. I have an 8g machine and have never had a single issue. Also, most Unix folks deeply prefer systems which are bare ones. I want my compositor to composite and my display to display. I think that's just the way it should be, if the community needs a fork someone will do it. If you need a consolidated group to make your choices for you you might actually be better off using proprietary stuff honestly.i just honestly doubt my DWM + picom is gonna be "slower" than a Wayland or hyperland system, considering the amount of work that's been put into X over a very long time, and it's ONLY doing it's expected job, display.
@@aibrainlet8041 >For one thing ... Not using x programs ?? So you mean most application GUI software that exists for Unix systems ? Outside of Xterm, Xedit and such, none of these applications use X directly, but libraries like Gtk/Qt that can be ported to Wayland. >Also, if you run Wayland and not hyperland does that mean you use a traditional DE? Wayland is a protocol, more specifically it is a way to parse information you receive on sockets I think, and graphical programs connect to your socket and send you information, just like on X. What you do with this information is up to you and determines functionality of your window manager.
Politics has no place in these podcats, IMO. Stick to linux.I have learned quite a bit from your channel, but you lose me when you insert your political comments. I found your yard walkaround, waving that pistol around particularly cringeworthy. You live in La? Then you know that La takes much more from the federal governmnent than it gives back. Everyone is a libertarian until granny needs an ambulance, or a hurricane washes away their house. Hey DT! Stick to linux.
Everyone is a libertarian in America because it does not have it's own culture, it is a melting pot where everyone is unique and different. Consequently, Americans treat other Americans same as foreigners and they don't feel any duty towards them, they don't feel like they owe them anything, like people in other countries do. Americans see other Americans much the same way as Indians see Chinese for example
I never believed in this “I'm a political” thing, It doesn't matter until its your politics, and he still doesn't see the irony of labeling anyone from political opposition as trolls. “Hey DP, why don’t you go on podcast he keeps trying invite you, I’m sure you both have much Linux to talk about” My point with the quote above is insert anyone that's controversial, a president of business or a country and they act like now its different because "my politics" but wont admit that's why.😮💨

It's funny to hear you talk about not caring about politics when I have always considered your videos the same direction as myself but so extreme I have to take a break from watching. Maybe you have a different definition of what political means, but your software beliefs, lectures, and rants are very much political. Mostly, I don't care because I have similar beliefs. But the lack of self-awareness here is amusing.
I appreciate your stance on separating software from politics, but it seems in conflict with your view on using Firefox. You use the politics of Mozilla's leadership as the final straw for why you stopped using it and recommend others do the same. Don't get me wrong, as a daily user, I know there are plenty of issues with Firefox as a piece of software, but these issues have nothing to do with politics.
I don't aim to convince you either way (I couldn't even if I tried) but I don't think there is more merit in not liking Firefox for its creator's politics than in people complaining about the politics of some distro you've showcased.
Hyprland doesn't work well on any virtual environment. You need to test it on a real machine ... Common DT you can do it :=)
Everyone is always saying hyperland is the future and x11 is dying... Is there actually a why to this ?? X11 works for millions of people everyday all day all around the world and hyperland lacks basic functionality and barely works. I really don't get why we need to X, is it just too bloated? Hyperland feels like all hype and at the end of the day I don't think alot of us will wanna give up on our own custom WM configs. Honestly my DWM looks 10x better with a custom picom fork doing rounded corners, floating bar , blur , and window animations like hyperland configs usually have. Yes, it's visual fluff but it still runs perfectly, I've never had X crash on me doing all that stuff and it was easy. I just don't get all the "hype"rland 😂
X just has some limitations compared to what the modern user is expecting from a computer, after all, how could a a networked graphics protocol from the 70's be expected to handle multiple monitors with different refresh rates and resolution with fractional scaling without screen tearing like we see on modern computers? I use X (mainly on BSD) and wayland, but the issues with X should be pretty apparent.
@@tylerdean980 ahhh. Never used more than monitor , never will. Guess that explains it. Thanks
>Everyone is always saying hyperland is the future and x11 is dying
You mean wayland
>Hype about wayland
It has some advantages, for example if you do not run any x programs through xwayland, then it is faster and there is no overhead of interprocess communication. There is just one process, the display server, which is also the window manager. In X11, these two are separate programs that communicate with each other. If you want compositing, it is faster too in wayland since it is build from ground up to support it. This allows for some nice and cool animations like compiz had, but faster. If you don't care about animations this is probably irrelevant
However, several actors in wayland, GNOME being the most powerful one want the protocol to be as barebones as possible and not support many features most people would consider basic, in a pure gnome fashion. That is why there are still a lot of things that just work on X11 and fail on wayland.
@@mirey-lamb I feel like all of those perceived gains come at a hugeeee cost. For one thing ... Not using x programs ?? So you mean most application GUI software that exists for Unix systems ? I don't even use the gui as much as an average user but that does seem like a significant handicap. Also, if you run Wayland and not hyperland does that mean you use a traditional DE? I genuinely don't know but if that's the case then the "speed" of your graphical performance is gonna be based on how fast that system is anyway. The best answer is can give is compositing and animations never lags on my machine with just a good old picom fork. I have an 8g machine and have never had a single issue.
Also, most Unix folks deeply prefer systems which are bare ones. I want my compositor to composite and my display to display. I think that's just the way it should be, if the community needs a fork someone will do it. If you need a consolidated group to make your choices for you you might actually be better off using proprietary stuff honestly.i just honestly doubt my DWM + picom is gonna be "slower" than a Wayland or hyperland system, considering the amount of work that's been put into X over a very long time, and it's ONLY doing it's expected job, display.

>For one thing ... Not using x programs ?? So you mean most application GUI software that exists for Unix systems ?
Outside of Xterm, Xedit and such, none of these applications use X directly, but libraries like Gtk/Qt that can be ported to Wayland.
>Also, if you run Wayland and not hyperland does that mean you use a traditional DE?
Wayland is a protocol, more specifically it is a way to parse information you receive on sockets I think, and graphical programs connect to your socket and send you information, just like on X. What you do with this information is up to you and determines functionality of your window manager.
Politics has no place in these podcats, IMO. Stick to linux.I have learned quite a bit from your channel, but you lose me when you insert your political comments. I found your yard walkaround, waving that pistol around particularly cringeworthy. You live in La? Then you know that La takes much more from the federal governmnent than it gives back. Everyone is a libertarian until granny needs an ambulance, or a hurricane washes away their house. Hey DT! Stick to linux.
Everyone is a libertarian in America because it does not have it's own culture, it is a melting pot where everyone is unique and different. Consequently, Americans treat other Americans same as foreigners and they don't feel any duty towards them, they don't feel like they owe them anything, like people in other countries do. Americans see other Americans much the same way as Indians see Chinese for example
I never believed in this “I'm a political” thing, It doesn't matter until its your politics, and he still doesn't see the irony of labeling anyone from political opposition as trolls.
“Hey DP, why don’t you go on podcast he keeps trying invite you, I’m sure you both have much Linux to talk about”
My point with the quote above is insert anyone that's controversial, a president of business or a country and they act like now its different because "my politics" but wont admit that's why.😮💨
try hyperland on Garuda Hyperland Editation
its pre-installed and pre-configured for nvidia..
i have problem with wayland on my arch machine but after switch to Garuda wayland work very well on my system
i think we miss installing something on arch to make wayland work
