I think this is the best approach to hyprland, starting customizing it little by little and getting familiar with the basics. I've seen dozens of posts lately in reddit of new comers that have used someone else's dotfiles or conf scripts and have zero idea of how anything works, then get frustrated. Kudos for making it look realistic and explaining the basics so everyone can take it from there and customize it to their needs.
This approach to setting things up and customizing the system is great. For someone who always uses default things and just started dipping their toes in Riceing, this sets up realistic expectations and shows a good paradigm of how one can make their system something unique to themselves, and create a cohesive experience that minimizes resistance and assists the user. Thanks Nerd!
I genuinely love your videos, your way to explain is just unique and drives me to do more research every time to expand my knowledge rather than just copy/pasting what you're doing. You got me into neovim, you got me into Linux and i3wm and know I can't wait to put my hands on a new ssd to do a fresh Arch install. Way to go man, please keep doing these videos. Love from Italy 🇮🇹
Personal Peeve: _Gyah!_ Dude! Learn `!$` in the shell! `!$` expands to the last argument in the immediately previous command. So rather than watching you typing your arguments over and over and over and over again: mkdir very/long/path/name cd very/long/path/name You can instead do: mkdir very/long/path/name cd !$ Similarly, `!*` expands to _all_ arguments in the previous command except the zeroth (the command name itself). Both really darned useful.
I'm reviving my old HP G42 laptop with a first-generation Intel processor and an impressive 8GB of RAM to study Linux with window managers and Neovim. I want to force myself to work on a machine with limited resources to become a better programmer, and this series has been incredible for that purpose. Thank you!
Actually, I'm not new to Linux, been using it since 1998 (Mandrake distro), but watching you axplaining and talking about Linux, really excites me.....great explanations. Thanks, mate!
one recommendation: I think its best to keep your exec-one lines separate. Not only does it make it easier to configure and mix and match later, but it also makes it so that there is no chance of one the programs failing and bring down the other ones.
The part 1 of this series is what made me change from Xmonad and been daily driving it since I saw that video. Since then I think I have everything that I need to live in this setup. - Configured my monitor layout, Keybindings, etc in my hyprland config file. - Riced Waybar (I had xmobar for Xmonad before). - Riced Dunst (I had it before but rericed for hyprland). - Added & Riced Fuzzel as an alternative for dmenu, since I was having problems on my main monitor in which is a different resolution than the rest of my monitors. - Added Slurp and Grim because flameshot was not working properly for me in wayland and Slurp and grim do exactly what I need flameshot for. - Added hyprpaper for wallpapers (apperantly nitrogen doesnt have a native in Wayland) - Swaylock to lock screens (the one I had before was also only in X11) Now, lets see if I you mention something that I missed or is useful for me :) Thanks for this types of videos.
21:46 This had the same energy as when someone in my agile morning standup sprint planning meeting starts taking about the 'Crazy' weekend they had where 2 bottles of wine got downed and they walked their dog for 10 extra minutes lol. Would have been a long one to make bro, solid work and I see you playing 'round with those fancy camera angles too, keen for next parts 💪
I'm looking forward to at least 10 episodes! By the way, about screenshots - it would be great that on a newly made screenshot you could immediately add arrows, rectangles, etc. - it is often necessary to show someone an important part of the screenshot.
you would need an additional tool for that, the screenshot one only takes the screenshot. You should modify your binding to open a image editor after taking the screenshot, but usually do this with a bash script, or use something like grimblast, and in grimblast config add an editor.
Did not know about hyprshot. Been looking for a good replacement for "flameshot" since it works poorly in Hyprland. Thanks for posting. Hyprshot is working nicely.
Hyprland animations are gorgeous. But I'm dealing with some issues about drag and drop, some apps don't properly work, such as MegaSync (and this one is mandatory for me to sync somethings for me). But gotta find a way out. Now I'm gonna config (hyprshot, hypridle and others). Can't wait to see you ricing your desktop more on the next episode.
Hi. I've just installed Hyprland (I use Arch, btw). Thanks for making this video so a noob like me can follow along and actually understand how the configs work. Would love to see a detailed Waybar setup from scratch video. I installed Waybar on my minimal Arch and half of the modules aren't working and the Waybar config file doesn't make any sense.
Thanks! Ive been on qtile for a long time but I might switch to hyprland. I think I prefer the configuration hyprland offers even though I use python every day and know it well.
@@SimpleSubash Thanks for the response. I'm also curious about how the temperature would be on the USB drive. Using a USB as an installation drive would definitely lead to higher temperatures which might cause reduced transfer speeds.
I like your videos and what you do on the channel but I do think if you're going to have a video that is essentially just following the hyprland wiki you should tell people that's what it is and provide a link to the Wiki. It's awesome to digest the info and present it to others in an easier to format to process but definitely think some credit show go to the Wiki maintainers. Apologies if this was done and I missed it somehow. Cheers.
Not everyone needs and have a use of nixos also nixos can't run a lot of softwares and appimages (yes I know you can run appimage not all appimage works, ask me how I know)
Why are you not using Arch? Why not Ubuntu? It is a matter of taste and needs. I know NixOS is the newest Hype. I was on it. Learned it but i was annoyed, cause it didnt fit my needs. At the End the benefit of having config files you can ship to another computer is only a little less work than my current setup with arch and my bare git for my configs. I am not reinstalling my computer very often.
It’s possible to edit screenshots by adding text, drawings, and more, then save them wherever you like, or send them via FTP, SCP, etc., just like with the Shutter tool.
@@typecraft_devopen an issue if you have any feedback, I'd love to hear a Mac users feedback. The design of swaync was based off of the one in Mac OS :)
hyprland is cool, but i use nvidia. so xorg is really the only viable option. i think you should do a video on dwm also. its really cool but hard if you dont know what to do.
I thing I didn't like about Hyperland is that it identifies different monitors as different workspace. I dont like this I want to have the single workspace span both the Monitors. That is why I dropped it
Hi typecraft. I am using a setup super similar to yours. Show me how to setup a clipboard manager with history like the one in windows and my eternal subscribe is yours. (Yes I said it - the windows clipboard experience is superior to everything i've had in linux... fight me)
Actually, don't use hyprland (the transphobic drama should scare y'all away, I don't care abt the intent, in the end people were not and people do not excuse themselves :/)

thank you! that is exactly the point of the video I'm glad it came through
The only way a real nerd @@typecraft_dev would approach it
❤ Thank you
Now can't wait for ep 3 hopefully we'll customize the waybar too
yeah, it looks kinda off to me
yup!!!

Your videos were a major reason i switched over to Arch and hyprland , love all this quality content

It's a super fun video to watch, at one point I had already watched more than half of the video. You are very good at teaching Toph.
Those camera cuts look better now!
Good thanks!
the btw scene is the best
@@5alidshammout haha thanks. Made me laugh
I INSTALLED HYPRLAND JUST YESTERDAY
Same!
The community has summoned you
Same😂
I actually spun up a new Arch VM for this 2days ago! Thanks to you, I have new things to try. Cheers
Personal Peeve: _Gyah!_ Dude! Learn `!$` in the shell!
`!$` expands to the last argument in the immediately previous command. So rather than watching you typing your arguments over and over and over and over again:
mkdir very/long/path/name
cd very/long/path/name
You can instead do:
mkdir very/long/path/name
cd !$
Similarly, `!*` expands to _all_ arguments in the previous command except the zeroth (the command name itself). Both really darned useful.

EP2 is here! Thanks Nerd!
pro tip: use notify-send with the -e flag to send a transient notification that does not linger :)
Good tip!
Great stuff! I am new to "Arch" btw, and new to the whole hyprland-thingy and learned a lot.
I'm looking forward to at least 10 episodes!

Checkout Flameshot/Watershot. Haven’t tested in Wayland, but sounds like what you want.
On my machine I use flameshot for screenshots with that possibility added. Also you can select between saving and copy to clipboard.
Was waiting for ep2 ... great learning curve your channel, well explained, Thanks man!
The question is : catppuccin in ep3? : )
Did not know about hyprshot. Been looking for a good replacement for "flameshot" since it works poorly in Hyprland. Thanks for posting. Hyprshot is working nicely.

@@rakso00x you got it!
I have set this up in x11 the last month, now this looks shinier. Thanks, nerd.
No, you have not. You can not run Hyprland on X.
@@no-prophethes prolly talking about hypr, not hyprland
Incredible video, makes me want to go back to hyprland right away. Hopefully they get HDR working in the not too distant future :)
I would suggest flameshot as the screenshooter program.
I use hyprland since your first ep about, really thanks
This channel is so good
You are
What camera setup do you use? Looks fantastic! 📸
What app do you use for screen recording on hyprland ? Or since you installed GNOME can we use the embedded GNOME screen recording feature?
Finally, time to customize my hyprland

Okay I see you with your editing skills
Thanks! Ive been on qtile for a long time but I might switch to hyprland. I think I prefer the configuration hyprland offers even though I use python every day and know it well.
Ran into this series. I'll probably give Hyprland a second chance, hopefully it plays well now with my Nvidia card. Thanks nerd!
7:03 it's not actually front-end to pacman, rather building helper for AUR

BTW
awesome video bro! keep pushing
Question: Will I be fine if I follow the whole Arch related series starting from installing Arch on a 3.2 USB flash drive (32GB)?
Yes
@@SimpleSubash Thanks for the response. I'm also curious about how the temperature would be on the USB drive. Using a USB as an installation drive would definitely lead to higher temperatures which might cause reduced transfer speeds.

Thanks!
actually giving my mac a second chance at the moment. i am already seeing myself going back to nix with hyprland though 😂
but it gets a final chance
do you still enjoy your benq monitor?
absolutely
2:46 No one has mentioned about this moment so here I go 🐱
Is it possible to add mail and Rocket.Chat icons to the right side of the top bar that show the number of unread messages?
Why don't you use NixOS? (Great video btw :)

I don't believe there is a built tool that does that in the hypr eco system, you can try installing flameshot it should do the trick.
you would need something like grimblast with the image editor of your choice, then edit grimblast config to add that editor.
I'm glad you liked my baby, swaync :D
I love it!! its fantastic!

It's going video,very very good, but is possible to see waybar config and styles.css
Thanks, nerd
Thanks. Nerd
love it
So this is like i3 with extra steps and in wayland
You would have to install all this stuff for i3 as well
@@typecraft_dev yep everything is barebones. Good stuff
@@mvaldes you’re good stuff

needed to stop my netflix to watch this. thanks nerd
Thank you senpai 💕
But say btw again and 💣
2:45 im tramautized
hyprland is cool, but i use nvidia. so xorg is really the only viable option. i think you should do a video on dwm also. its really cool but hard if you dont know what to do.

I use Arch, btw.
I could kiss you for that hyprshot tip
No ghostty?
plz tell me what your switches are

Hyprland was terrible just 2y ago.. but past 1y, i didn't had any issues with it...
I use lfs btw

it is pronounced nome not gnome
I say «guh nome» no matter what
