You don't need to read much using a standard DE. It's Hyprland being a WM that's making things complicated, WM are designed to be extremely configurable, so everything are hands-on
I love how you share the whole process and not just show us the end result like most youtubers do. That's why I love watching your videos even though I already know most of the stuff
It's really great as someone who is new to linux, I livebooted for the first time this year, and then dove straight into an arch installation this summer. Watching these videos feels very much like my own experience.
7 or so years ago I switched to arch full time and I remember fking it up several times. Recently I had to install it yet again and everything worked after 15 min. In the beginning you don't know what you don't know and don't know what you know but now you know what you know and you know what you don't know.
@@Infidel_Gaming arch wiki? If you have gone through the install, read the general recommendations page. Go step by step and make sure you understand what each component is and you will be golden. Pro tip: search for your laptop model in the arch wiki, there are specifics for each machine and common problems or things that are not supported on arch or linux. In general avoid laptops that require applications on windows to control things like Acer. You would be surprised to know that this is really a big exception to the rule, most laptops will have some caveat that can easily be fixed. Example: I have an Acer Predator Helios 300: PH317-55 that had issues with the fans on linux. It turns out there is literally nothing that can be done without Predator Sense which only works on windows. I tried changing the registers for the fan controller manually. This worked but there is some sort of hardcoded value in the bios that once reached you cannot lower the speeds back manually, tried downgrading my bios as the code is hardcoded there but it didn't help since it was the same on previous versions. Turns out other people ran into similar problems with Acer In conclusion don't use Acer Predator line laptops with linux unless you want fan problems. It's really the companies fault, they could have easily updated that fan speed table so you can change them to your liking. Now, there are people that have fixed it on things like PH315-53 but for my model there is no fix so I have windows on it.

Your Local IPv4 isn't dangerous if exposed. It's only for your local network, nobody can do anything with it. You will notice it is different from your public IPv4, which you can get e.g. by using something like whatsmyip Which technically gives you the one used by your router, as it is the only thing in your house directly connected to the internet. It is doing something called NAT (Network Address Translation) to translate the requests sent from your internal IPs to the internet, and forward the responses accordingly. Also, your public IPv4 probably changes when you restart your router.
Pretty sure it does change, this is noticed when you connect between different routers. How I'd know? I use a playlist downloader, and sometimes it runs into an error: "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot". The solution? Simply connect to another wifi, and it works fine. You can even switch back and it'll work fine too. Not certain how this would go for a static IP, but I know with DHCP it changes a lot.
@@kyperactive Your private IP changes all the time. Not just when you switch networks. DHCP has a lease time, for which your IP stays the same. After that, what address you get is basically random. (Within a certain range.) The public IP you get from your ISP depends on how the ISP configures their network. Some assign static ones, and most of them change them when you reconnect.
At some point I realized the trobleshooting sections actually help to troubleshoot. I kinda feel stupid about how much time I wasted trying to scrape everything but the troubleshooting sections...
As someone who started with slackware back in the 90s, recompiling the kernel with my modem drivers, then migrated to other distros like Gentoo and arch... My feelings watching your video are kinda "I'm so happy my current distro is kubuntu".
My favourite thing about this video is simply that you didn't give up at any point. You weren't even a bad sport about it. Points to you, good sir. As someone who daily drives Hyprland I salute you and wish you luck on your continuing Linux journey.
0:11 youre referring to a type of window manager called a tiling window manager, there are traditional window managers called floating or stacking window managers. a window manager just manages your windows, as it says in the title, and a desktop environment is just a window manager with apps and configuration tools included while allowing you to skip using the terminal altogether

@@mclama1139 So you installed Linux and then for many days you were reading documentation and typing into command line? I also switched to linux, but I started with newb friendly Mint, then Manjaro, and only then Arch and tons of reading. I simply don't see how a beginner can stick to it if it's nothing but suffering from the very beginning.
whilst i understand it may be boring, if you spent maybe 10 minutes reading the written instructions for these things before *just* going in, i feel it could save you a lot of time! and it would also set a precedent for us followers that patience and reading can be very good for you!
I tried Arch linux recently with the hyprland wm for the first time after years of using Windows, and i didn't face this much error and issue. In fact, it was actually a smooth experience with almost no issue for me...
I watched with a smile on me face. This struggle to get something working and wondering through endless forums without knowing what am actually doing is the sum up of the delicious Linux on desktop experience
@@Zqisanerd hey! I use hyprland+nvidia 4090 and everything is working really well since few months ago when nvidia released the 555 driver. i can play mmorpgs, cyberpunk in 4k with ray tracing, and even vr games
Kudos for you for showing the whole process, problems, troubleshooting, and so on. Linux is really hard, but it gets easier once you start understanding a few patterns. Hopefully maintainers also watch this video and can improve documentation.
I think the hyprland docs and archwiki articles are pretty enough for getting started, even as simple as copy and paste the commands into the terminal. The problem here is just that Bog isn't comfortable with configure and tailor his workspace to his liking, so it definitely takes some used to.
Award for most entertaining Hyprland install! Thank you for this. Honestly one of the best "Linux struggle" videos I have seen. Excellent edit. Top tier comedic timing.
Linux confuses and scares me, yet I'm morbidly curious, so I'm watching all these wonderful vids you've got. I must say, I take great comfort in the fact you weren't already sure if exposing your IP was dangerous. And you're this deep into Arch Linux. Think that means I'll be okay if I decide to switch OS lmao
Oh man! I have started my Hyprland adventure about 2 months ago with similar knowlege level as you. The whole video is relatable af! But now after driving Hyprland for a while is quite comfortable for me.
i know i'm not a noob anymore, but i have had less issues with Arch than Ubuntu, though i'm having a lot more issues with Plasma so i might go back to Gnome on Arch
I'm so glad I found this channel! It's making me remember how I too started with linux, how I'd spend countless hours customizing stuff, working out random errors, trying to fix every little thing that annoyed me, even though I didn't know anything it was so much fun! Love how you also leave the bad parts in, all the errors, the time spent troubleshooting.
It's fun to watch someone trying to do it like me (without reading starting guide). Like we don't need no guide we know everything. I use Arch btw. With Hyprland.
I just sat there and was like saying "NO, WAIT THAT'S WRONG GO BACK" or "please just read the hyprland wiki, it's the main place to look" Also funny how you didn't even look at the hyprland guide, it had everything you needed to know...
Only 10 minutes into the video and I love this already, I haven't downloaded hyper land or any arch stuff, but seeing you struggle having to trubleshoot and search online to find answers on obscure places to sometimes just do something as simple as rebind a key, makes me feel so much better at myself for sometimes also struggling to do things that seem like they would be very easy. I like to see that not everybody is perfect. Thank you for making this video.
using linux feels like you need to go to the supermarket but your car is broken so you sudo build rocket and it fails because you didn't sudo rocket parts before, then you do sudo rocket and the rocket explode since you forgot the sudo fuel rocket, etc... and in the end you give up and walk your way to the supermarket Thats my complete linux experience every time i tried it
Actually this is the first time to see you and i watched this video not because i needed to it I am using Kali but the way you learn the way you act i love it so much and i learned alot from you thanks brother ❤️
I’ve actually enjoyed this video like no other on TH-cam recently. Love the editing style, and your honesty. Also it’s great to see someone who doesn’t hate on different OSes than the one they’re using. Subbed and waiting for more! I use Linux btw.
Thank you for explaining at the end why did we needed Hyprland in the first place. I love your Linux Experience videos, it makes me want to try it as well.
22:25 If the IP starts with 192.168, then it's fine. No harm will come from showing it. Even then, if your public IP gets leaked, then your firewall should stop any attacks.
i love your videos so muhc because its so much like how i learn. its not just abt learning the solution and its about how. also, its great how cool the open source community is, the no of tools available to us is surprising.
The only thing keeping people from Linux are applications like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Photoshop etc. Once they go Flatpacks, even regular users should have everything they need.
It's very funny to watch this. I myself switched to Linux for the first time only in August and my first experience was immediately Arch with Hyprland, because I was looking for customization. I quickly figured out how to work with the config because of the habit of working with them, and seeing how you're trying to figure everything out, I really wanted to tell you.
Thank you for remind me that I'm not the only one who lost so many days and weeks trying to make linux work. And then when I did get it to work, I'd repeat the whole thing again because I saw a better screenshot on deviantart (anyone remember deviantart!?!).
17:15 I feel so much with you. I've also to read the same amount in "documentation" (yes, they call it documentation, but in reality it's a link to another page in the documentation, which is a link to another page in the documentation and so on) and the configuration is splitted into 5-50 files, which are spread around the system. "/var", "/usr", "/etc", "/opt" and so on, you get it...
From what I am seeing I think people are quite friendly in the comment section the only thing they are criticizing about is that he didn't read the official documentation which is fair tbh
Those are the people who haven't seen the sun for days, because they are living in their mums basement configuring Arch all the day just to be able to post a few screenshots on r/unixporn and tell everyone they use Arch so they can feel superior compared to average users who use Mint or Ubuntu. Don't take them seriously. Toxic kiddos.

@@TylerGiles-ux7vg The fact you can't mix'n'match stuff anymore. Here's what hyprland wiki says:

About a year ago, I ditched Windows and jumped into Hyprland... and honestly, my reaction was pretty much, 'What in the world did I just get myself into?!' 😂😂
But how is it now ?
@@curiousmushroom9900 The hell 😬
Bro jumped straight into the deep end
same for me, and now i cannot imagine myself using the regular desktop environment
i did the same thing - straight from windows to arch+hyprland and i love it
This video is gold. I can see my younger self in it, now days I am older and have less time to do these things, but I got really tempted! It also loooks sooo goood.

Your Local IPv4 isn't dangerous if exposed. It's only for your local network, nobody can do anything with it. You will notice it is different from your public IPv4, which you can get e.g. by using something like whatsmyip
Which technically gives you the one used by your router, as it is the only thing in your house directly connected to the internet. It is doing something called NAT (Network Address Translation) to translate the requests sent from your internal IPs to the internet, and forward the responses accordingly.
Also, your public IPv4 probably changes when you restart your router.
Pretty sure it does change, this is noticed when you connect between different routers.
How I'd know? I use a playlist downloader, and sometimes it runs into an error: "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot". The solution? Simply connect to another wifi, and it works fine. You can even switch back and it'll work fine too.
Not certain how this would go for a static IP, but I know with DHCP it changes a lot.
@@kyperactive Your private IP changes all the time. Not just when you switch networks.
DHCP has a lease time, for which your IP stays the same. After that, what address you get is basically random. (Within a certain range.)
The public IP you get from your ISP depends on how the ISP configures their network. Some assign static ones, and most of them change them when you reconnect.

This video is honestly how I struggle with Linux trying to troubleshoot whatever mess I'm in.
the video is very relatable and fun to watch.
At some point I realized the trobleshooting sections actually help to troubleshoot. I kinda feel stupid about how much time I wasted trying to scrape everything but the troubleshooting sections...
As someone who started with slackware back in the 90s, recompiling the kernel with my modem drivers, then migrated to other distros like Gentoo and arch... My feelings watching your video are kinda "I'm so happy my current distro is kubuntu".
My favourite thing about this video is simply that you didn't give up at any point. You weren't even a bad sport about it. Points to you, good sir. As someone who daily drives Hyprland I salute you and wish you luck on your continuing Linux journey.
Nice video, fun to someone's thought process when learning something new
0:11 youre referring to a type of window manager called a tiling window manager, there are traditional window managers called floating or stacking window managers. a window manager just manages your windows, as it says in the title, and a desktop environment is just a window manager with apps and configuration tools included while allowing you to skip using the terminal altogether
It's very interesting to watch someone learn and adapt to a new environment that I was already familiar with, it was a very fun video! Thanks for posting
Every Bog video is a masterpiece
I'm gonna watch this instead of going to sleep
Same. Almost 3.
same
Insane video man, you show exactly how is it to work in IT and what is the mindset of an IT guy : searching and digging through error messages
I will show this to my students who are new in IT

It's hilarious watching someone unfamiliar with Linux figure everything out. Keep it up!
Now i understand why they mention with the i use arch Linux line 🗿
I use arch btw
i like how i started watching this channel for the macOs content and its slowly becoming "20 minute" linux adventures
this is so much fun to watch lol
Oh god he's back
1. Bare Metal experience (not vm).
2. Hours upon hours of troubleshooting.
3. Live Recording + Live Commenting.
After all that, there aren't any single sign of this dude being stressed out, throwing curses or even rage quit ( judging by his nice voice obviously 👉👈 )
This is a satire I believe. No way anyone that inexperienced would keep going after a few hours of struggling...
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd he does, that's his whole thing. Besides, this si the linux mentality, we keep trying to figure it our until we eventually do.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd people do. I did 6years ago
@@mclama1139 So you installed Linux and then for many days you were reading documentation and typing into command line? I also switched to linux, but I started with newb friendly Mint, then Manjaro, and only then Arch and tons of reading.
I simply don't see how a beginner can stick to it if it's nothing but suffering from the very beginning.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd he's earning money for suffering
whilst i understand it may be boring, if you spent maybe 10 minutes reading the written instructions for these things before *just* going in, i feel it could save you a lot of time!
and it would also set a precedent for us followers that patience and reading can be very good for you!
As a Linux user with 5 years of experience, I love watching videos like this where newbies struggle and learn stuff. :D
I tried Arch linux recently with the hyprland wm for the first time after years of using Windows, and i didn't face this much error and issue. In fact, it was actually a smooth experience with almost no issue for me...
Lemme guess, you read the docs? Lol
@SaintJames14 line by line 🙃
I watched with a smile on me face. This struggle to get something working and wondering through endless forums without knowing what am actually doing is the sum up of the delicious Linux on desktop experience
Your Linux vids remind me my first Linux experience. Very nice! You're a fast learner.
My first experience was a black screen after installing nvidia drivers from nvidia site, like a normal Windows peasant would do 😅
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd 💀bro decided to step on linux with nvidia
@@Zqisanerd hey! I use hyprland+nvidia 4090 and everything is working really well since few months ago when nvidia released the 555 driver. i can play mmorpgs, cyberpunk in 4k with ray tracing, and even vr games
Linux troubleshooting + funny commentary + great editing. Man's got it all.
This kind of vid is my new favorite niche content
Kudos for you for showing the whole process, problems, troubleshooting, and so on.
Linux is really hard, but it gets easier once you start understanding a few patterns.
Hopefully maintainers also watch this video and can improve documentation.
I think the hyprland docs and archwiki articles are pretty enough for getting started, even as simple as copy and paste the commands into the terminal. The problem here is just that Bog isn't comfortable with configure and tailor his workspace to his liking, so it definitely takes some used to.
The official documentation is actually really good. He didn't read it
Award for most entertaining Hyprland install!
Thank you for this. Honestly one of the best "Linux struggle" videos I have seen.
Excellent edit. Top tier comedic timing.
Linux confuses and scares me, yet I'm morbidly curious, so I'm watching all these wonderful vids you've got. I must say, I take great comfort in the fact you weren't already sure if exposing your IP was dangerous. And you're this deep into Arch Linux. Think that means I'll be okay if I decide to switch OS lmao
Oh man! I have started my Hyprland adventure about 2 months ago with similar knowlege level as you.
The whole video is relatable af! But now after driving Hyprland for a while is quite comfortable for me.
Thx to you I now remember why I’m not using Arch anymore 😂
I mean this is not about arch though
i know i'm not a noob anymore, but i have had less issues with Arch than Ubuntu, though i'm having a lot more issues with Plasma so i might go back to Gnome on Arch
This is just hyprland. Watch his other video about kde and you will see how easy it all this.
Remember, the archinstall command exists if you want to make installation very easy lol
this doesn't have anything to do with using arch or any other distro really.... this is more about reading the wiki and following a set of steps
I'm 5 minutes in and this has already been the most accurate depiction of my experience using linux/hyprland for the 1st time.
34:30 this was sooooooooo satisfying to watch! im not even using linux and im rooting for ya !
I gotta thank you for doing the linux videos, those encouraged me to try out arch and now i daily drive on it
ts rly brought me back to a simpler time i feel like the biggest nerd watching you learn all the things from scratch that i take for granted
I'm so glad I found this channel! It's making me remember how I too started with linux, how I'd spend countless hours customizing stuff, working out random errors, trying to fix every little thing that annoyed me, even though I didn't know anything it was so much fun! Love how you also leave the bad parts in, all the errors, the time spent troubleshooting.
It's fun to watch someone trying to do it like me (without reading starting guide). Like we don't need no guide we know everything.
I use Arch btw. With Hyprland.
the video ive been waiting for since the day i found your channel. thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
38:01 "mentelgen" man of culture I see.
omg, how much i love the way you done this video... all the struggling visualized. absolutely perfect!
Our boy is growing 🥰
I love your steps and narration. Especially the style of narration.
I just sat there and was like saying "NO, WAIT THAT'S WRONG GO BACK" or "please just read the hyprland wiki, it's the main place to look" Also funny how you didn't even look at the hyprland guide, it had everything you needed to know...
Only 10 minutes into the video and I love this already, I haven't downloaded hyper land or any arch stuff, but seeing you struggle having to trubleshoot and search online to find answers on obscure places to sometimes just do something as simple as rebind a key, makes me feel so much better at myself for sometimes also struggling to do things that seem like they would be very easy. I like to see that not everybody is perfect.
Thank you for making this video.
using linux feels like you need to go to the supermarket but your car is broken so you sudo build rocket and it fails because you didn't sudo rocket parts before, then you do sudo rocket and the rocket explode since you forgot the sudo fuel rocket, etc... and in the end you give up and walk your way to the supermarket
Thats my complete linux experience every time i tried it
I've been waiting this for not 4, but 5 thousand years!
I was literally think about arch hyperland, and bog dropped it
Actually this is the first time to see you and i watched this video not because i needed to it I am using Kali but the way you learn the way you act i love it so much and i learned alot from you thanks brother ❤️
"I managed to escape Hyperland (Hyprland)" A survivor once said. leaving behind a great tale. liked the content instant Subscribe
Watching this from school while taking notes
I’ve actually enjoyed this video like no other on TH-cam recently. Love the editing style, and your honesty. Also it’s great to see someone who doesn’t hate on different OSes than the one they’re using.
Subbed and waiting for more!
I use Linux btw.
You’re actually making linux an incredible favor with all of these videos, that’s awesome ❤
No, that's hyprland
nah i had a stroke watching this
@@chizec7588 it's also arch linux (btw)
I'm switching to Linux once I get my new laptop, and this video made me even more excited to do so.
Sponsor Skip Button 14:04
I love this kind of video where its just figuring stuff out and uploading your realistic research session
Babe wake up, Bog dropped
Thank you for explaining at the end why did we needed Hyprland in the first place.
I love your Linux Experience videos, it makes me want to try it as well.
22:25 If the IP starts with 192.168, then it's fine. No harm will come from showing it. Even then, if your public IP gets leaked, then your firewall should stop any attacks.
he can just disable it in the neofetch config file
@@Death_Note0_0 True, but I was talking about IPs, not Neofetch.
i love your videos so muhc because its so much like how i learn. its not just abt learning the solution and its about how. also, its great how cool the open source community is, the no of tools available to us is surprising.
The only thing keeping people from Linux are applications like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Photoshop etc.
Once they go Flatpacks, even regular users should have everything they need.
Flatpak sucks
It's very funny to watch this. I myself switched to Linux for the first time only in August and my first experience was immediately Arch with Hyprland, because I was looking for customization. I quickly figured out how to work with the config because of the habit of working with them, and seeing how you're trying to figure everything out, I really wanted to tell you.
Sigma rule : don't copy and paste any thing from internet with arch
Thank you for remind me that I'm not the only one who lost so many days and weeks trying to make linux work.
And then when I did get it to work, I'd repeat the whole thing again because I saw a better screenshot on deviantart (anyone remember deviantart!?!).
17:15 I feel so much with you. I've also to read the same amount in "documentation" (yes, they call it documentation, but in reality it's a link to another page in the documentation, which is a link to another page in the documentation and so on) and the configuration is splitted into 5-50 files, which are spread around the system. "/var", "/usr", "/etc", "/opt" and so on, you get it...
YESSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Ok now do nixos or gentoo next 😂
You crack me up. Love your tenacity and great job on the video production!
22:30 your local IP is fine to leak, your external is not.
my int. is 192.168.0.99 but you can't really do anything with that info
lol
I loved the hyprland learning curve. Fun.
I have hemorrhoids

This was the best video I have seen in a while, loved it. :)
god I apologize for the insane elitism and harassment you've been receiving from the Linux community in these comments. you all need to do better.
From what I am seeing I think people are quite friendly in the comment section the only thing they are criticizing about is that he didn't read the official documentation which is fair tbh
Those are the people who haven't seen the sun for days, because they are living in their mums basement configuring Arch all the day just to be able to post a few screenshots on r/unixporn and tell everyone they use Arch so they can feel superior compared to average users who use Mint or Ubuntu.
Don't take them seriously.
Toxic kiddos.
I just got Hyprland working in a fresh install. My life is complete.
I really like these series because you don't use any youtube tutorials, I understand a lot more instead of just clicking along
I couldn't sleep, watched 15 minutes of this and now i'm diying. You're my hero
Seeing my man trying run kitty without having kitty installed was absolutely hilarious, we need more of this content we ppl share their learning experience. Keep it up!!
Love your videos!! It's always great to see the full process, although as a long time hyprland user it was also very painful.
