On Hyprland for a few days now and feeling the same way.

Amen. I'd install Hyperland on both of my "main" PC and on my Rpi 4 but my rpi 4 (still) has sway and it "just werks" so eeeeeh

A couple days ago I tried Hyprland just to see what it was like. I've been on XFCE for over a decade and expected to play with Hyprland for a couple hours, go "Huh, that's cool", and uninstall it, but I think the switch may be permanent. It's fantastic

Hyprland is better if you’re on Nvidia as well.

Mainly because if you ask for help with Sway on Nvidia then people basically tell you to fuck off and call you a cunt.

For real tho, they’ll actually chastise you just for asking a question.

damn, Hyprland looks great 😅

Hyprland is fantastic unless you have Nvidia

I have Nvidia in both my machines

Works fine on my laptop (1650 hybrid) and desktop (3070 no iGPU)

Under NixOS on both machines, no xwayland.

  programs.hyprland = {
    enable = true;
    enableNvidiaPatches = true;
  };

Is the basics to get it up and running under NixOS + HomeManager

I've done that already though haven't disabled xwayland didn't realise that would work without being compatibility

Just don't run X applications 😅

I've seen no issues on my setup, might just be luck of the draw? What hyprland build are you running? What issues are you seeing?

Whichever one is current in nixpkgs stable

On my laptop when it goes to sleep and wakes up everything looks corrupted and it crashes back to the gdm login screen after a second or two

You running anything from nix-hardware on your system? I know my laptop has a flake there that installs a few applications & fixes small things like hardware buttons for the ga401: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/asus/zephyrus/ga401/default.nix

I'm running unstable on both machines, with nix-hardware for my laptop only.

I'm running it on my laptop I believe but pc is custom so I doubt there'd be anything there for it there
