Been gaming on arch + hyprland and a NVIDIA card for about a week and everything has been going pretty well so far. I primarily use windows but check in from time to time to see how compatable linux is with my usecase and I gotta say I think it may be time to switch to linux permanently. I'm addicted to building my own setup now and have been averaging about 3-4 hours of sleep per night because of it 👍

Challenged myself to do arch and hyprland on my work laptop about a week ago. So far so good. It obviously helps that almost all of my work "software" can be used in the browser. Trying to match the config with my Arch desktop that I built just for breaking and fixing (or trying to anyways). I'll have to watch this video in pieces but thanks again for putting these out. It's nice to have an experienced set of eyes on something relevant to what I happen to be working on at the moment.

Hyprland with Waybar, Wofi, Yad and Fedora. Terrific.

Nixos solved my distro hoping. I wanted a bleeding edge distro rolling release, which can save my ass incase I fuck up, with a large amount of available packages. The unified and reproducible config file using the nix language is just the cherry on top. As a developer I couldnt have hoped for a better OS as my daily driver.

Fedora (nobara), Arch (endeavourOS, garudalinux, manjaro), open suse and ubuntu all had things which I wanted, but they didnt fulfill some of my requirements. Nixos basically ticks all the boxes.

Fortunately there is a happy ending. 😏 Hyprland is a cool project, especially now that they transition away from wl-roots (great, just to have more than 1 option) but it is not as good yet as dwm. I hope that some day it will be.

I tend to like the conciseness of wayland programs. If you make a wallpaper program, all I need it to do is set the wallpaper. After that, i just want to be able to interface with the program. This allows people to do whatever they want with the randomness or wallpaper processing outside of the application and developers dont need to waste time working out every single person's niche use case. After all, that is the unix philosophy. I dont quite understand your comment about how you should never be running a background bash script. Especially for something as harmless as a wallpaper.

hyperpaper is a good one for wayland wallpaper settings.

1:20:16 screen tearing is one of the reasons i use wayland. another one is because moving windows in x11 on 240hz just feels like 2fps. got 560 nvidia drivers in opensuse tumbleweed and it just works. except for the fact that it doesnt work sometimes because of gnome. i also had some weird bugs on x11 that when moving windows it would create effect of this one error from win xp i think where it would just create multiple instances

Some of the best work and career advice.

Is it possible to overclock nvidia card on hyprland?

[CompuBt]

I'm still using Xorg with KDE on Arch but Wayland is improving and if it works better I will switch in the future.

Even if Wayland has many bugs, Fedora is going to solve those problems if they only use Wayland and remove Xorg. So Red Hat would be on of the companies that mostly improve Wayland.

10:24 is the boot loader riced GRUB or something else?

[WRa]

I run Alpine on an old crappy chromebook (6w dual core celeron from around 2016 (yes its 64bit), and it runs KDE fine. Yes it took some work, and yes i spent an hour or so on it. The base install of alpine was 150MB; ~2GB with xorg and KDE/XFCE installed.

[Eevee]

Alright so i am confused between hyprland and awesomewm which can be configured more btw? (Not just drag drop or plugins i meant being able to create whatever i need at my convenience) Hyprland uses cpp and lua and awesome uses lua for configuration
So which is better?

[sqoiqpw]

is there a way to add nm-applet or something similar for wifi. in statusbar in dwm?

[erikreider]

Have you ever considered trying swaync instead of dunst? :)

[adam_em]

What do you use for console greeter? I mean that one that reminds neofetch. I mean the one that prints out the os age and your uptime, from the very first minutes of your video. And how can I set that up to look like that - I like it.

[zetho.]

Fedora not including xorg in their default repos is insanity to me imo

[Subx-x]

interested to see how this goes with nvidia card
