An honest review on Hyprland

In this video we'll take a look at a tiling Wayland compositor called Hyprland, that offers a bunch of features, such as animations, blur, different window layouts and much more. Enjoy!

This is more of a starter guide for hyprland than a review, but it's still extremely useful and I don't regret watching it.

this video was lowkey the best intruduction video to hyprland that I've ever seen!

It should be noted that "Wayland will never replace X11" is already an outdated slogan. Fedora has already switched, and starting with the recent Plasma 6, Wayland is now the default session. I agree that X11 isn't going anywhere for a very long time (assuming the board can fill its empty roles), it will likely be around for many years or decades even, but all the "Wayland is the future" stuff people have been saying for years seems to be actually happening now. I made the switch from i3 to Hyprland about 6 months ago, and have had no major issues with any software, even X11 stuff that requires xwayalnd. There was some additional config required because of my NVIDIA card, but it is all well-documented.

Im so pumped up about the current linux desktop enthusiasm. Thank you for making these kind of videos. That matters!

Nice one, looking forward for more videos about your Nixos setup and experience, information and guides are appreciated. Keep up the good work on the channel.

This is more of a summary of what hyprland is not a review.

I know I'm a little late to the party but you showed me some features I never knew about and I added some of your binds so thanks!

[satriaAl]

To me, this is the best explanation for Hyprland configuration. Thank you, Ampersand.

Wayland has come a long way. I remember trying it a few years ago and it was completely unusable for me, many things were very broken, now I've done some dabbling in the last few months and it has improved substantially. I still think the DE devs that are making it the default and dropping support for X11 are doing so a little too early, it's still in a state of unusability for a lot of people, but it's also perfectly usable for a lot of others. Wayland will replace X11, that is inevitable, it's catching up really fast.

Great video, didn't expect it to be this channel's first

This makes me both a little bit frightened and at the same time very excited to mod Arch later today >_>

[SimilakChild]

Was great on a fresh arch install, used it for nearly a year. but noticed some backend issues and limitations which made me switch back to gnome wayland. Hopefully in the future it would have way more features.

Hyprland does goed work but it also misses a few features which for me are essential:
- integrated panel, when the panel is integrated it is just easier, I never have any issues with hiding the panel in dwm but I have noticed issues with that in other tiling window managers which either don't integrate it or which did not implement hiding (sway).
- integrated systemtray, dwm kind of has it integrated, all you need to do to get it is automatically do that patch. It is the biggest patch so it is recommended to do that first
- the tag-feature, it is incredibly productive to show more than one workspace and to pin a program to more than one workspace

What hyprland does well: the animations. It feels more 'modern' because of that. Though I find it pleasant to see it I do prefer instant actions, so no animations, it is faster.

Isn't the bgm callrd Cipher from Cicada 3301 by Lemmino?
