Hyprland just gets better the more you use it. The initial configuration may be slightly overwhelming if you aren't used to configuring WM's, though the defaults are sensible for learning the ropes, and once you get the hang of it, it has so much potential for customization. All of the tools in the ecosystem are top-quality and fit with it very well.
@@ForeverZer0 Yes! I’ve found it’s even easier to be precise with config files compared to GUIs. Monitor config for example, I can specify with precision exactly where I want the screens to be. I have spent too much time on it already, but I’m convinced that once everything is how I want it to be, it’ll be hard to beat.
Hey been seeing your videos popping up on my feed since I been going through my Hyprland journey as well hats off to you 5k views already at this time of posting keep it coming also try zen it looks amazing with hyprland and is fully customizable
Awesome setup! I have been using hyprland for a while now and i gotta say, I am LOVING it. It has such smooth animations and everything looks really good when compared to something like i3wm, cause you gotta really put in work to make it half as good as stock hyprland, though hyprland does use more resources when idle in my experience. Window managers are way more comfortable for me than a traditional DE. Configuring through a text file just soo much nicer than using a gui cause I can be more precise, especially when it comes to monitor config. The initial learning curve is a bit much at first if you aren’t used to WMs though. The only real pain for me would be that the sensitivity of the mouse and touchpad are the same as it makes the touchpad painfully slow to use since I’m using a laptop and really high dpi mouse. The hypr tooling is really well made too and fits together really well.
you're missing the most important feature of the COSMIC Alpha 5: memory leaks so hard it will crash your system. It was covered quite extensively by the Lunduke Journal.
I absolutely loved Hyprland, but what made me change back is the fact that I cannot share my screen or Discord for example because of how the video server is managed, sorry if I missed something in the video talking about it, otherwise great video !
@@macks_s Do you have the hyprland specific desktop portal and pipewire installed? Afaik those two are necessary to make screen sharing work, and it works on my machine (tm)
Writing my own window manager for myself which will support X11 and Wayland or any other platform appearing in future. Nice visuals on Hyperland, but I don't care, it is more about good windows placement for me :)
😅 I'm of the understanding that the dots I used (Hyprdots) are elaborate, and seem to have a lot of bells and whistles. I'm sure it can be tuned to use less. What are you using / what is your typical RAM utilization immediately after boot and during normal use? Also keep in mind, I was just using Cosmic DE, which seems to have some issues because it used at least 6GB at idle.
you really sell me Hyperland. I saw many videos but always observe it as a "graphical improvement", however you mention "efficiency" many times and also I want to use the mouse at minimum as possible so ... yeah, I gonna try to learn more, thanks.
the thing with the monitors is what brought me to installing nixOS with KDE Plasma... it was too much of a hassle for me, and because i am using dotfiles which are regularly updated i had to do it every other day... [saving the config wouldve been a smart move, but i am lazy af lol] still using hyprland on my Laptop tho, just one monitor, easy ^^
Yes! I almost gave up, but I think I get it now. I just installed on a laptop and I was able to configure an external monitor pretty quickly. It did take some time to figure out, but I think it was worth it. Also, in another comment someone mentioned there's a graphical utility, but I don't know much about it. I'm fine with using editing the config files now.
Half a year ago, I was running hyprland on arch linux. I have nvidia hardware, I had issues like blurry apps (xorg apps). You have a nvidia rtx4090 right? How is your experience with your hardware and hyprland? I have a nvidia rtx 3050 Ti laptop. Now I daily drive cachy os with Kde plasma.
Yea, a 4090. My experience has been great with the proprietary driver. I have tried using the open source driver, but I ran into issues with gdm/sddm starting upon boot (before I started using hyprland). I didn't troubleshoot too deeply before switching drivers. So I switched to the proprietary driver back then, and I haven't really had any issues, at all, since. I also use an AMD/Nvidia laptop, but I haven't installed hyprland on it yet. Perhaps I will make a video on it -- a few people have asked about this.
I will realy like to see a video you installing hyprland on your laptop. I will test to setup hyprland alongsite kde plasma with the dotfiles you use, the script is for a minimal system. So if something breaks I can recover from a snapshot I made before. Keep making videos! I want to see your channel grow.
I sometimes use hyprland on my desktop (amd+nvidia) and there's an issue with Xwayland where Vsync drops frames when moving the mouse, and that made it unusable for me because I can't disable vsync in Elden Ring and proton still doesn't support wayland. I also have a second issue: hyprland will lower its fps if the games' fps go below 2 times the refresh rate of the monitor (a 60hz 720p tv) (that also happens on my amd igpu)
I had issue in running Arch with KDE desktop could not stream a game in discord, game would be unplayable, but I am running Cosmic desktop and was blown away works great! If you run into an issue remember there is a setting in Discord to make it so it does not use your GPU.
I am really interested in distros and stuff. I will get this os also, and I want to know something. Can all os be run on a pendrive without installing, like use another pendrive to store files and stuff?
@@Epicalcom Yes, but they may not all have a simple way of achieving that. Some distros will have that option built into the ISO. Arch really doesn’t, so you’d have to take some manual steps to make it happen.

Before watching, I just wanna say I hate this title because the point of using Linux is that you get to do things the way you want, and I wanna use bspwm, and some people want to use Sway, most people are gonna use Gnome or Plasma, and that's okay, and I have no intentions of ever installing this thing on my machines.
After watching though, you’ll have been sucked into the black hole that is configuring Hyprland, only to return after writing thousands of lines into config files and typing into a transparent browser window while hotkeying between apps at 500APM.
Yeah, no, neat video, just the title I think is contrary to the entire point of Linux as a whole, and I'm still not gonna use Hyprland because as great as it looks, the developer gives me the heebie jeebies, and bspwm works great anyways, been carrying around the same config files for a year
Thank you for expressing your opinion respectfully and in a way that others (myself included) can benefit from. I’ll check bspwm out, before this I’ve avoided config-heavy solutions but now I see that it’s actually worth the effort.
Yeah, bspwm is great, it's not a great idea to keep it for very long, because it's old and Xorg only, but I really like how it feels and how simple it is. I'll probably switch to Sway when I get a new machine that Wayland works properly with though.
@@OpenSourceGuyYT Yes. As of this video, I had started making some changes to transparency and misc effects so it’s slightly different. Once I’m finished changing everything I’ll probably post the dots I actually use.
@Yelloween This is probably important, I’m using the proprietary driver. In the past, I have had issues in Arch with the open source driver on both this desktop and an Nvidia laptop.
@@RuneDShyznit Can confirm. I was a long-term waybar user, but gave Hyprpanel a try recently when configuring a new machine, and I am never going back. While waybar has the potential to be have more customization, it meets all my needs, and I very much appreciate it bringing multiple systems (bar, notifications, dashboard, etc) together in a single cohesive application.
github.com/super4nonymous, but the base configuration in this video is found here in the Hyprdots repo, which I am not the author of: github.com/prasanthrangan/hyprdots
I'm literally waiting on my external hdd to arrive, so I can backup everything, reinstall windows, and start dual booting with an arch-based distro, and I plan on trying out Hyprland for the first time. stop spying on me !!!!
😄 So exciting. I'm about ready to finally erase my Windows partition (haven't used it in maybe a full year). Once I gave up games that require Windows, there was really no reason to use Windows any longer. And once you start configuring Hyprland, you won't have much time for gaming anyway.
The increased productivity which you experience in hyprland compared to Cosmic, that is exactly why it is difficult for me to trade in dwm for hyprland if I would have to use Wayland (maybe someday for HDR). dwm has a very nice feature: you can show multiple workspaces at the same time and you can put a program its window on multiple workspaces at the same time. If hyprland would implement that, that would definitely make it appealing to me. Maybe I should see if I can do a feature-request for that. Other than that I think that that hyprland is great for anyone who starts with his first tiling window manager and they (mostly 1 person) definitely make a very attractive environment for Windows-leavers who want something more exciting, thanks to all those fancy graphics.
Hey, not sure if you were implying that you might consider hyprland once there is hdr support or that you might consider hyprland for hdr support. Either way, just wanted to let you know that there was a pull request recently that made it work for the most part. It's experimental tho so expect possible issues.
I seriously don't understand all the blabber between Hyprland. It looks and works like any other WM apart from the animations. People on the Linux community act like Hyprland is some record-breaking piece of software that wouldn't make Linux what it is today, they even go out to the point where they convince newcomers that Hyprland is the epitome of Linux desktop (which is debatable) and people who don't use Hyprland are all noobs. The reason why I don't like anything Wayland or Hyprland is because of the community's infectious mindset of "hyprland good everything else bad".
@@u0_a647 🤷♂️I like animations. And while I do think Hyprland is good, I don’t think that makes anything else bad. I’ve made a few videos about how good Cosmic is, and other DEs definitely serve a purpose. Jumping on a hype train for the sake of attention or putting other things down is bad, I agree. That’s not what I’m trying to do here though 🙂
@@lebronjames5287 I feel like there remains actually some good points on why Linux should be hated; personally I feel like Linux's monolithic and modular nature makes it feel very primal to use even with state-of-the-art and robust Desktop Environments like GNOME. There are a couple of problems that you won't find on a mainstream OS but you will on Linux, and that's one of the few reasons I'm slowly starting to drift away from Linux. It's definitely better for programming but I wouldn't see myself using it as a daily driver any time soon.
Thanks for watching! Could you elaborate please? Hyprdots does come with a lot of things that I’m currently in the process of removing because I’m not going to use. I’m not sure if you’ve observed something I’m not aware of though, so any additional information you could provide would be helpful.
