I love the concreteness and simplicity of your guides. There are interesting aspects that are often overlooked, such as virtual machine configuration. However, this is yet another demonstration of how much easier and faster Linux is to install and configure than other operating systems typically considered simpler. Even Arch is getting too easy! 😁
Great video. I was looking forward to a video to setup hyprland and this was very nicely done. I hope you continue this series and add feature like ngw logout sceen etc. thanks again.
Thank you very much. I’m working already an a video about Waybar covering many features. Until then… Have you seen this video? Advanced Hyprland installation. CONFIGURATION with waybar, pywal, swww, thunar and Windows 11 VM ua-cam.com/video/EujO_5KvCCo/v-deo.html
A few comments: Dolphin as you showed at the beginning and in the rest of the video is quite unusable without icons (you need breeze icons); in KVM, you don't need to set the boot order of the CD the first time you create the machine and start the installation. In the video you put some text telling that you could change this configuration from Hyprland. However, this should be really shown as done from Hyprland to show that Hyprland dynamically reload the configuration when it changes. You don't need to disable SDDM: you just need to set those environment variables in the desktop file of Hyprland used by SDDM. Unfortunately, timing did not help either: wlr/workspaces in the latest release of Hyprland (few days ago) are not supported anymore (you have to use the specific hyprland module for workspaces). Sorry for the critics, but there are quite a few issues in this video, which might lead to a bad Hyprland experience.
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. This is very appreciated. I disabled SDDM to launch Hyprland with the script that I have prepared. The latest version of my dotfiles already includes the environment variables for better performance on VMs. You're also right that workspaces are now working with hyprland/workspaces instead. My dotfiles are already updated. I will add a comment in the description. Thanks again for your feedback and for helping the Hyprland community with your tips.
I really like your guide, there is few things I don't agree with firefox is the default is not 100% accurate it is default for most linux distros but not Hyprland as far as I know. If your using the archinstall script it has dolphin, wofi already installed. But i have been trying to learn and you have made some configs and things really easier to understand and get started so thanks for the guid
This is a great video. Went smooth as water. But I'm wondering if you can do a video manually installing Arch with Hyprland. I've seen a lot of video do the manual installation on Arch, but never with Hyprland.
Thanks. Have you seen this video? Install HYPRLAND. Base installation on Arch Linux with Waybar, WOFI, Hyprpaper and KVM/QEMU support ua-cam.com/video/V7nP-To0630/v-deo.html
Hi. Unfortunately, I’m not using a Nvidia card as my main GPU for Hyprland. But there are many options to run Hyprland with Nvidia. For example described here. Scroll down: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland Backup your system and try it out if it’s possible.
great videos.... please, why i can not install your qtile ? because i have tried so many times yesterday, noting was showing ...only qtile default installation showed up......none of your configuration came up... please check and make some corrections.
Thanks for testing. The installation depends on my system setup and it’s difficult for me to find out what’s the problem on your setup. Can you start the config manualky with python config.py and post the error message? Does the Hyprland installation has worked for you? And I will test the installation scripts again and prepare a video how to install with my scripts.
Jan arch iso, archinstall hyprland with sddm or ly. Both display managers do not authenticate my password. TTY does authenticate my password. Any ideas? I did not have this issue with last months iso in a vm.
Thanks for your feedback. I’m not using virtual box or vmware. That’s why I can’t help you in this case. But if your host is Linux give KVM/Qemu and virtmanager a try.
Very good comment. The suggested way to install Arch is still the traditional one. But the archinstall script is getting better and better. You can find the related page here: wiki.archlinux.org/title/archinstall
With Hyprland installed with the starter script, you can exit with Super+M gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/hyprland-starter/-/blob/main/hypr/hyprland.conf?ref_type=heads There is currently no keybinding to reboot. You have to enter reboot in the terminal.

The Arch install script is one of those things that is supposed to prevent headaches and make your life easier, however it has done quite the opposite for me. I've tried it on 3 separate devices (bare metal, never in vm) and it never worked for me so far. If you forgot something (like NetworkManager) you can just chroot into the install from the iso again and install it. If you didn't follow and know the manual install method you probably would start from scratch with the install script and potentially repeat your mistake, because you do everything at once and not incrementally. And even if it does work you probably still have to change your keymap manually and configure wifi with iwd or something similar beforehand, which can be one of the bigger headaches in the procedure. Plus, I don't like the way the drive configuration works in the script, I prefer and recommend cfdisk which is also kindly provided on the Arch iso. But if it works for you and you know what you're doing and are faster with it, then congrats. Good for you. I use Arch and hyprland, btw.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I prefer the manual installation as well on my machines. But it was interesting to try out the installation of Hyprland with the arch script. Hyprland becomes more and more popular and it’s great the the archinstall script support it.
@@lpanebrit is possible to install pipewire or pulseaudio via the script, but the latest I read about this last month it is broken So postintall audio is the better choice.
Can you type lsblk before starting your installation? Then you can see the available disks and names. But archinstall should show you the available disk in the corresponding installation step.
@@mylinuxforwork Grub is causing this error in newer editions of arch. I finally managed to mount after enabling EFI when creating new machine in virtualbox. Also, I tried virt manager but after changing it from Bios to UEFI instead of showing installer menu it loads me up to UEFI interactive shell.

Can you write in English?
Vim and sddm is installed by default when you choose hyprland?
Yes. SDDM definitely, vim as far as I can remember as well.
Jan arch iso, archinstall hyprland with sddm or ly. Both display managers do not authenticate my password. TTY does authenticate my password. Any ideas? I did not have this issue with last months iso in a vm.
Which keyboard layout is selected in sddm?
@@mylinuxforwork I did a minimal install and installed greetd with no problems. I'm not sure what the issue was.
Does hyprland work well on amd +nvidia laptop if I use internal gpu? I don't want to set up for nvidia.
This could work. You need 3d acceleration. If your CPU can do this. It’s always difficult to predict the performance. Just give it a try.
Nice and simple, but i tried with vmware and virtualbox , but every time i install, virtualmachine become freeze. Sorry for my english
Thanks for your feedback. I’m not using virtual box or vmware. That’s why I can’t help you in this case. But if your host is Linux give KVM/Qemu and virtmanager a try.
hyprland needs gpu passthru if you're planning to use it in a VM, which can't be done with vmware and virtualbox afaik
