Hello everyone! Mods here 😊

Welcome to Hyprland Community in a new Land here.

Feel free to help each other and showcase your Hyprland to the community!

As a newbie Arch user, I got bored to use Gnome or KDE. I want to use Hyprland as my desktop environment. Like what I see at social media. But there is different ways to download it as far as I see. Somethings called Hyprdots, additional things like Waybar etc. and these making me confused. How can I download it and make it look like as the things I saw on the Internet? Don't want to be wannabe, just I don't know how to set it up.

Hi everyone. Hyprland is doing this thing where when I change to a different workspace, everything on the non-visible workspaces drop in performance.

Normally this wouldn't be an issue since I'm assuming hyprland does this to save resources for what you're currently looking at. The issue is that Elden Ring sees this sudden drop in performance as an FPS issue and kicks me out of online play due to unstable FPS. For example, I'll be playing on workspace 3, then I'll look something up on my browser in workspace 1. After about 5 or 10 seconds Elden Ring will give me a pop up saying that I've been logged out due to FPS instability.

Is there a way to disable this performance drop for a specific workspace?

Just installed Garuda-Hyprland on my NVidia 3070 System and it works like a charm and nearly out-of-the-box

I just had to install with nouveau drivers from the usb and install proprietary drivers after boot from disk.

Then i had to fix some issues with waking up after suspend and now i'm good.

Amazing how far all of this came!

I just got into hyprland. Installed some configs and just didn't like them so I'm starting from scratch and building my own. I dabbled some with eww and it made me reconsider my will to live. Is it worth learning or is waybar good enough?

The rant is obsolete now :)

I recently switched to Hyprland on my laptop and was able to set it up as I like, but I struggle hard to set up keybinds to simply print different characters when pressing certain key combinations.

For example, one small snippet from my .Xmodmap (there are more in this file but that’s enough for a minimal working example)

keycode 108 = Mode_switch
keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis

This allows me to press the A key in combination with the right Alt key to print an ä or an Ä when shift is pressed, to.

wtype and built-in key binding

After some research I found wtype which allows me to write arbitrary text when called with the parameters.

After I learned that Hyprland (or Wayland) does not distinguish between Alt_R and Alt_L (they’re shown as Alt_R and Alt_L in wev with different keysyms, so they’re clearly two different keys) and I accepted it, I just found out that this tool only works when being in a terminal emulator and not in a GUI application so this tool is useless for me.

keyd

Then I tried keyd. After setting it up and adding my user to the needed groups and starting the service and trying to figure out how to actually define keymaps I was able to send something when pressing a defined key combination.

But: Nothing else than ASCII.

The dev thinks it’s a Chromium problem based on this issue but it actually isn’t. I wasn’t able to send an ä to ANY application, no matter if GUI or terminal or Qutebrowser.

Since there is basically no online resources or user community for this tool, I cannot find any usable information on this issue except the unrelated Chrome reference and thus I removed it again because I cannot use it for what I want to use it for.

xkb

For whatever reason Wayland (or Hyprland) uses certain parts of the X keyboard extension, so I also tried this one.

Despite being absurdly complex and annoying to setup I was able to configure a user based keyboard variant using user-based symbols. From what I’ve taken from various sites my config should do nothing more than remapping Alt_R to ISO_Layer3_Shift just for testing purposes.

But all I achieved was reproducibly crashing Hyprland when setting it up to actually use said keyboard variant and there seems to be no log file.

yeah, that’s where we are

Again, it’s not about the umlauts, and not about the German keyboard layout, and not about switching lkayouts on-the-fly, it’s just to demonstrate what I mean. You can replace ä with any other character you want.

After a long night of trying out to have the Xmodmap functionality in Wayland using Hyprland as compositor I ended up with not being successful.

I give up for now.

Maybe one day there will be an actually working solution requiring nothing more than two lines in a file.

I was trying to use Hyprland, but when i start it up it crashes with 2 critical errors: m_sWLRRenderer was NULL!, and wlr_gles2_renderer_create_with_drm_fd() failed!
