Learn how you can use Linux for your work.
Linux is a great Operating System (OS) to support me daily at my business. Linux is stable, fast and you can customize it to individual needs. In this channel, I want to share my setup of Arch Linux and show how I use my system as a daily driver.

I built my hyprland desktop from scratch and liking it a lot. I've looked at your dotfiles many times. The amount of work you put into hyprland is amazing. It would take me a month, 10 hrs/day to do half of what is available in your scripts and configs. I'd download your dotfiles, but that's too easy and I would not understand half of what you've done, which is a problem for me. Thanks for inspiring me with your videos, maybe next year my desktop will look like yours 😎
Sounds great.
Nice walkthrough of the new dotfiles. You can tell a lot of thought and care has been put into this. As always, great work ML4W!
Thank you so much.
Reviewing and explaining the various folders/files is very helpful. Looking forward to that new feature in 2.9. Thanks again for superlative work and dedication.
Thanks.
Wow another amazing update! The sneak peek at the end has me excited for 2.9😁
Thank you…
so good to see another update and the hyprlock and hypidle working on my laptop and very well on my desktop. Thank you for the hard work
Great to read that everything is working fine.
Your doing amazing work, haven't seen anything like this. Well done.
Thank you.
I like this project very much and you and the comunity are always improving this amazing project. Keep on with it man. Very very great job 😁
Thank you so much.
Another amazing update and fantastic video! I appreciate the effort you do to make these changes then explain them so well that we can modify them with less fear of breaking something. thank you for all that you do.
Thank you so much.
Absolutely phenomenal.
Good stuff fella.
Thanks.
Immer wieder ein Genuss deine Videos, weiter so!
Vielen Dank.
Good job! Go forth, don't stop!
Thanks.
amazing work as always!
Thanks
I'm a huge fan of this project, you're really doing amazing work with this! For me, as an absolute Linux beginner, this project is perfect for getting thrown into the cold water while still maintaining some idea of what's going on. Can't wait for what's still coming for this project, really looking forward to 2.9!
Thank you. Before 2.9, I will release 2.8.3, also with great new feature... Coming soon...
What a great job you do Stephan,
is amazing and very brilliant, every time you show in your configurations impressive improvements, it is a luxury to use every day in my equipment your dotfiles, a big hug and my utmost respect and thanks for your great channel and your incredible work, greetings !!!!
PD. I apologise for my English, I'm Spanish and I'm still struggling to get it right ;)
Thank you so much for your feedback.
I messed around with hyprland a lot, but it's only when I found your dotfiles that I stuck with it. Your setup is fantastic. Really amazing work and easy enough to personalise even further 👍
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Danke dir vielmals. Update ohne Probleme. Top Arbeit
Klasse. Vielen Dank.
Thanks for this!!! Very appreciated!!
Thabk you.
you are amazing bro. Love your work!
Thanks
looking forward for 2.9!🙌🙌🙌

Thanks for your effort. It's a great project.
Thank you.
What an exciting time to be alive 🤯
👍
Amazing updates!!
Thank you.
I haven't tried hyprland yet, but finding this video of yours, I'm definately switching to it just because of your dotfiles project
Thank you so much. Have fun with it.
This is superb work, congratulations and thank you!
Thank you very much.

Everything works great, love it!
I just have an issue with Timeshift, it can't open after asking for the password. No issues with it on your side? Thanks
@@relaxdmj8769 No issues pn my side. Can you share a screenshot on Discord, gitlab or via email?
@@mylinuxforwork it seems that when an app installed on rofi is asking for a password to open then it doesn’t open after you enter the password.
No issue to open when no password required.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
At least you fixed the internet issue that gets removed for 2 seconds and comes back but is fixed thanks.

Super, freue mich auf 2.9!
Danke.
Cool, trying now! Thank You!
Hi. Thank you. 2.8.2 will be released hopefully tomorrow if you want to install the latest version.
@@mylinuxforwork I already installed dev version now :)) trying to make friends it with warp-terminal, microsoft edge and my favorite comic-code font :DD first impression: amazing look, style, animation, screenshot tool, lockscreen. My eyes are in comfort with this aesthetic themes and colors. Good job! This is certainly what I looking for. Finally I can just do what I need with good preconfigured background even hyprlock works perfectly. Look like logining in some game :) Thanks!

I can see hyprland going head to head with KDE very soon :D
this project is HYPER xD
Thank you.
Really enjoy this project! Using this as a guide for Hyprland configs and working with a WM/Compositor.
Thank you!!!
Thank you.
The work you do is truly amazing, aweomse rices mate. I am also a ricer, bur nowhere close to you. I uploaded my config on github, and it is available for everyone, but also want to make an auto installer, can you make a guide on it? It would be really interesting, and also really useful for people who are trying to be like you someday.
Thank you so much for your feedback. You mean a walkthrough to my install script? Why not…
@@mylinuxforwork Yes, that is exactly what I meant, and that would mean lot.
Waybar is not loading up for me after the update...... update on the issue: fixed! thanks for the great job you did with all the scripts :)
Please restart your computer. Make sure that xdg-desktop-portal-gtk isn’t installed. And lauch the script dotfiles/waybar/launch.sh directly. Any error messages?
@xforwork thanks for the fast response, I removed the desktop-portal (that was the issue), but Is there any reason why google-chrome-stable doesn't run from waybar icon when is set as default browser in the config files? any other browser runs without issue when I set them.
@@ojauregui Can you try to start google chrome from your terminal first with google-chrome (not sure if this is the correct command) and take the command that worked to the browser.sh file?
@xforwork yes the issue is that does not run from the console, it work with Rofi ,but not directly in the console, I will investigate if I need to add the path or something similar, thanks for the advise.
@@ojauregui Are you typing google-chrome or google-chrome-stable? google-chrome-stable should be in /usr/bin /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is usually the default location for the binary
Really appreciate your work! What is the best practice for upgrading? I already installed it but did have to manually move configs/change keyboard layout, was there a better way?
Hi. The update process is described in the README. Another maybe more easy way is to use the ML4W installer gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/installer But I would suggest to wait for Sunday. I will release 2.8.2 with several improvements.
This is amazing 😍🔥 great work 👏🏽 . Is it a repo? or do we have to download and reinstall it each time a new update comes in ?
Yes. You have to download and install it everytime. But this only takes few minutes with the install script. Please check the readme on Gitlab.
@@mylinuxforwork I have installed 2.7.1 and it's amazing 🤩 2.8.1 is great too! I'll use the install script to update it in future 👍🏽 thank you ☺️
I really love your work and really appreciate it. Thank a lot!
A quick question/suggestion, is it possible to change the transparency/opacity of individual app/windows rather than one settings to apply to all app/windows? And also is it possible to change transparency/opacity of individual windows using keybinding? If not than these features will be very helpful. I, like many people like to keep their windows transparent but in some situation, certain windows are better to not have transparency. E.g. when I watch a video in youtube, I would like to make it non transparent while keeping other windows transparent. And a keybinding to change opacity of individual windows will be very useful for these situation. Many thanks
With window rules you can do this. Based on the window title or class you can define individual effects. Please check the Hyprland wiki for more details.
Hi thanks again for your wonderful work. Do you update qtile as well? I have nvidia and having trouble with hyperland and nvidia
Qtile is currently not in the focus. The customization possibilities are limited compared to Hyprland. And I am actually very happy with the Qtile setup.
the bar looks so clean ! very good..do you know AGS ?could you make a rice with it ?
AGS is awesome. And I am a huge GTK fan. This is something for 3.0 and already on the roadmap. 2.9 will come with other big new features (based on GTK) 😀
@@mylinuxforwork looking foward ☺
Nice work, awesome scripts. Having some issues trying to get to 2.9.1, no matter what I seem to try after reboot I end up back at 2.8RC3. I keep trying to get to 2.8.1. I have tried the three or four sections on updating, updating rolling release etc.. Stuck ;-).
Are you sure that your pull from gitlab was successful? I suggest that you remove Downloads/dotfiles and clone the dotfiles again and start the install.sh script.
I will try again, Yes I am pretty sure. Obviosuly I missed something ;-). I did try removing that folder and reinstalling, Do I want to uncheck the options to restore previous? when it asks, It I think I have tried both. Maybe I am mistaking at the Rolling release or 2.8 question. I am choosing rolling release. 2.8 installs just what it says for me 2.8, if I choose main I get 2.8RC3. Can't seem to accomplish 2.8.1 for some reason. I am positive its me ;-), missing something.
Resolved! I removed anything related to the dotfiles from downloads, old zips, main etc... Then ran the installer and it updated.
Amazing job, i just have a question if you can help me please i have the network speed in waybar on the network module but what bothers me is that whenever there is a large number like 400 kb/s it will move the container(it will expand it ), how could i make it so it stays in a fixed position ?
I believe that a fixed width isn't possible, as far as I know.
Great job. Just wanted to make sure I can delete the contents of the dotfiles-versions directory, except 2.8.1 the current version. Also what would i lose. I am keeping the contants of the dotfiles-versions/backups directory
Yes. You can remove it. Thank you.
Dear Stephan, thank you very much, as always.
I would like to have less gap between waybar and the top border of the screen (with a 12 inches monitor, I really need to use more space is possible). My problem is that I can't find in which file that gap is set. Can you help me please?
Thanks. You can edit the gaps here dotfiles/hypr/conf/windows I eoul suggest that you copy the default.conf, edit the copy and select your new file in the settings script. This is going to be much easier with the upcoming 2.9 in the near future.
@@mylinuxforwork sorry to say that, but something is not working ... too much fragmentation in my honest opinion.
1 - Asking to the settings script to have nm-applet has no effect (launching nm-applet from the terminal works)
2 - changing gaps in any .conf file has no effect at all
I think it's taking part of the configuration from somewhere else
Great Work Stephan !! I just installed the new version on my proxmox vm and loving it. Congrats on your awesome work .. :) But my problem is, after installing xrdp, I am unable to remotely use it via rdp. always some vnc erros :( If you know the way out, kindly update me with the reso. Thanks
Thank you. I am sorry but I can’t help spontaneously. Can you check the Arch Linux wiki?
@@mylinuxforwork Thanks for a quick reply. I did check wiki, and some other support pages but couldn't figure it out yet :( Anyways Thanks for the useful dotfiles. Aprreciate the work.
That settings app might be a game changer. Any plans to maintain a package for it?
Let’s see. More information coming soon.
Unbelievable! Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to use your setup! Please tell me how to completely remove AI gpt, and not just remove it from waybar if I don't need it??
There is no script. It's just a custom Waybar module opening the browser with openai web page. You can remove the button with the settings script.
@@mylinuxforwork Cool! Thank you very much! It's a good idea, maybe I can change it to another GPT chat.
Great work. My app UIs look very small like they are zoomed out tho. Have any idea why it might be?
Can you try to enable a scaling in the hypr/conf/monitors variation or try to choose the highres variation.
I love your dotfiles, but I've struggled using Arch as my main OS, having broken it a few times. Now I'm on Fedora, and I noticed the installer script in your Hyprland dotfiles uses Arch-specific commands. Could you provide guidance or adaptions for Fedora users? Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. Currently I am only supporting Arch based Distros but I will check out more distros later this year.
Hi the update kinda worked nicely, one issue though and I'm not sure it dotfiles related. But after going through your install script update, playing youtube videos in browser any other video do not play properly. It loads well, and sound is played correctly but not video, it's stutters, not play well. In gnome it works perfectly. Not sure what the issue could be?
any suggestions?
No idea right now. On my browsers, everything works fine. Maybe a wireplumber issue? I can remember on something similar that I have observed several months ago.
U a g
thanks.
Right now, im waiting until HDR support is ready and support for the new qd oled monitors throught the linux kernel before i switch to this hyprland config
👍
What's the system wide font ur using
Fira sans 👍
Hey, I made a few personalize config on 2.8.0 dotfiles. If I update it to 2.8.1 will it erase all my previous config???
Yes. You can create a backup with the install script and copy your customizations back afterwards if needed.
Nice work :)! how I can prevent hyprland from going to sleep (like caffeine plugin from gnome)?
Just click on the lock symbol in Waybar.
@mylinuxforwork I clicked it, but it is still going to sleep
bro your desktop look is so buetiful can you share how yyou do that? ia that theme or os? share it plase
Thank you. It’s a Hyprland configuration with several additional applications like status bar, notification manager etc. When you’re on Arch based distro, you can download the files and install it with the included installation script.
Hi! in Standalone how much the OS ram is used ? Thank you in advance.
Much depends on the Arch build you are starting with. His configuration does not load many additional services beyond hyprland. My build on standard Arch will few additional services uses about 650MB
I can confirm what Don is writing.
I would love to use your dot files on ubuntu if you make one for debian based distro.
I am still learning how to install Hyprland correctly on Ubuntu. Let’s see…
When hover my mouse over a window it switches the focus to it. Is there any way to deactivate this? So all Windows have the same opacity no matter where the mouse is? Apart from that I`m really enjoying your Dotfiles, looking forward to 2.9 🤗 Thanks alot!
You can create your own decoration variation and set the active and inactive state to 1.0 gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/hypr/conf/decorations/default.conf?ref_type=heads Please check the latest video 2.8.3 and the instructions gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/hypr/conf/README.md?ref_type=heads
@@mylinuxforwork oh ok, thank you, I will try it out!
How does one add their own wallpapers , I tried to add to the wallpaper folder in downloads , bit it is not being detected
Add your wallpaper to the wallpaper folder in your home directory.
my sddm switched to the nasty default after an update any way to make it sexy af again?
Same effect after the last Arch Update on my side. Will check….
Ist es möglich den lock Modus wahlweise dauerhaft zu deaktivieren?
Ja. Klick auf das Schloß Icon in Waybar oder kommentiere den hypridle Aufruf aus in der autostart.conf im hypr/conf Verzeichnis.
Swww just unable to install 4 some reason in my system, can i install hyprpaper instead, stefan
What distro are you using? On Arch I have no problem to install it with yay - S swww
Hi Stephan and good work as always 🙏 Just wondering, and I know this has nothing to do with your dotfiles. When using wlogout and trying to logout nothing happens. I have to press a key on the keyboard after to logout. I have this symptom on both my stationary and laptop. Do you or anyone else experience the same issue? I have not implemented your 2.8 dotfiles yet.
Hi. This is fixed with 2.8.1. I had to change the command to kill Hyprland to make it work again. hyprctl exit hasn't worked anymore. Maybe a temporary bug in Hyprland.
Hello, as a beginner I want to know how I can upgrade from your system with version 2.7.1 to 2.8.1....... I also want to thank you for your great effort and wonderful design (:
Hi. You can update to 2.8.2.1 😀 I would suggest to change to Downloads folder, remove the dotfiles folder there and clone again the latest version described on the readme. From 2.8.2 onwards you can use the new update feature of the ML4W welcome app.
@@mylinuxforwork Ok thank you I will download 2.8.2
checked your gitlab, swaylock is still being used?
No. It's just a backup of the configuration in 2.8.1. Will be removed in 2.8.2
I keep going back to Garuda because I can’t seem to get bottles to work on arch whereas Garuda just installs from the menu and works. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? I followed guides from arch wiki but I get errors when doing simple things like try to open a file browser from within. Maybe I’ll try again next week.
Keep us posted how it goes.
I’m having a weird issue after booting my pc and it died during the scanning and repairing c drive when it tried to boot windows before arch and now the systemd boot loader no longer shows up and I have to path through the boot from efi and find the bootx64.efi file to load Linux, is there any way to fix this weird issue?
Edit: I can manually get it to boot but things like the update notifier and such are not loading by default and Linux is much slower loading it this way and the welcome app takes 4 minutes to load now, windows loads just fine but Linux is giving me troubles and the Linux boot manager no longer shows up in my bios either
Pih. That’s difficult. Sounds like a decent issue on your Arch installation. Cannot help you in this case. Please check the ArchbLinux wiki. Maybe there is a way to repair your boot loader?
@@mylinuxforwork okay, thank you, I also can’t get it to load on the laptop due to WiFi not connecting right so we’ll see if I can Jerry rig the hell out of this and make it work, I still love the project and am going to try and get this working so I can keep up with this on my machine ;)
hypridle and hyprlock just dont work for me... There is not any response after locking. Now I've just returned back to swaylock again(actually it's swalock-effect-git). Will there be a way for me to choose from them later? I dont want to switch it manually every update:(
Thanks for testing. Do you have issues with hypridle or/and hyprlock? And have you tried this configuration? gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/dev/hypr/hypridle.conf?ref_type=heads
Thanks for your response! I've not tried this configuration yet. But now the problem is even when I call hyprlock from commandline, I will be stuck there and there will be no place for me to enter the password, and the system will not response to any keyboard stroke. This is the same as what happened first time I met hyprlock after update to 2.8.1@@mylinuxforwork
Excuse my ignorance, i updated the dotfiles. but now my keyboard are on qwertz . could you expain to me how to change it? regards
I solved it, edit /home/youruser/dotfiles/hypr/conf/keyboard.conf and change it!!! n ¡o need to reboot system or hyper..... Regards and thanks for your work!!!
👌 great.
how much memory it uses on startup ?
Hi. I see 1.14 GiB on startup. Incl. alacritty, waybar, hypridle up and running.
Im actually getting a new computer but ill tey the 2.8.1 update and see if it resolved everything. With me having to originally remove swaylock-effects im sure that replacing them will fix the problem. Ill update no matter what here in the comments though, might just be a bit
👍
@@mylinuxforwork Noticed that you switched to SDDM from SDDM-Git as well. Looks like hyprlock/idle are working as intended. Love that the login screen also doesn't display the character every single time you enter it in. Was a pretty huge security risk tbh.
Everything seems to be running smooth, with the exception that hyprlock-git seeming to want to update every few seconds. I've installed an update probably 4 times within the last 20 minutes lol and constantly have a "1" at the top of my screen for available updates.
That's the world of git packages though I guess.
@@mylinuxforwork Actually, looks like I wasn't paying attention. For some reason it's failing to install 0.1.0.r70.59997a7-1 from 0.1.0.r1.g4acf8981-1
I'll have to look into it later for now as I have a few things to attend.
@@mylinuxforwork Another heads up, in your settings script with hyprlock installed, the script still shows "Show/hide swaylock"
@@z00k already noticed. Changed already on my local dev. Goes live soon.
Is there a way I can the dotfiles folder to .dotfiles?
Hi. No. That’s currently not possible.
Hyprlock doesn't work with my fprintd fingerprint, its really annoying any ideas ?
Great work tho, keep it up !
Maybe you can open an issue here github.com/hyprwm/hyprlock Having a fingerprint unlock would be really helpful.
@@mylinuxforworkWorked it out, turns out hyprlock doesn't yet have its own entry in Pam. It's using su of all things, but working now !
As someone who appreciates aestethics and function, but is too lazy to rice myself, you sir are a gem.
Hi! How to update from old version to new one?
You can find all information on the gitlab page. Clone or pull the latest version and run the install.sh script.
@@mylinuxforworkThank you!
Really nice dotfiles you doing amazing job. Quick question about emoji picker is there a way to add ASCII emotes support ? I love to use them but copying them from random websites it's always a chore (╥_╥)
Never tried this out. Do you know an app for that?
@@mylinuxforwork sadly no I was hoping that there is a way to integrate them with current emote picker
everything working except swww not installed therefore wallpaper now showing in hyprland
Will check. Maybe there is an update and dependencies are missing. Please try yay -S swww
how do I go about disabling hyprlock, I just want my system unlocked permanently and not go into a "sleep mode" because I've had issues where it won't let me type in the password and I want this feature disabled
You can install the rolling release (dev branch). With 2.8.2 you can use the new Update feature in the About Menu of the ML4W settings app. After the installation you can find a Hypridle disable variation in the settings menu of the welcome app.
Or just remove all listeners in this file: gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/hypr/hypridle.conf?ref_type=heads
Alrighty, thank you for the help, I’ll see what I can do and if I get stuck look into some documents to try and find a solution
I pressed no dpms/suspend, this should get rid of where it goes into a mode where it asks for my password and it just stays unlocked no matter what now?
How do I update the sddm background?
In the ML4W welcome app is a dedicated section for sddm incl. the background update script.
@@mylinuxforwork Thank you for that, I turned off the welcome app on startup and forgot to check there, I love this project so much keep up the great work!!
@@ExcaliburYT893 thank you.
Merci !
Thank you so much.
