I've never paid any attention to tiling window managers, but after watching this, I really want to try out Hyperland. Everything is just so smooth and beautiful. Thank you so much for this video.
As I go through your video, I'll post some quick tips and re-edit my comment to add them: 1 - iwctl station connect then put in your Wi-Fi password when you are prompted. I prefer this rather than interactive mode. 2 - You should install microcode in the additional packages. intel-ucode or amd-ucode. 3 - on first boot, nmtui to setup network. It's ncurses menu driven and just easy. 4 - Great video. Thank you!
I use Linux less than a year. I used Ubuntu, last month I migrate to Manjaro, and this week I migrate to Arch. I never saw a graphic S.O. in this way, and I loved. One day, when I learn more about arch, maybe one day, I will install your version. So much beatiful. I love the transparent without top bar terminal.
@@SolDoesTech I am currently shifted to Ubuntu from windows 10 pro , why the app opening time and overall it feels slow compared to windows , should i shift to another distro like Arch ? (Note: my pc has Intel pentium processer, 4gb ram and HDD).
@@zakirdeshmukh9916 try to find out what you want to do with your computer; coding, video editing, music authoring, etc. and find a distro that fits your needs and desired effort level. Arch is nice but it does require a lot of knowledge about configuring your system from scratch. An out of the box distro might get you going quicker but you may lose out on the opportunity to force yourself to learn the intricacies of linux and arch. Arch does have an official install script now. I recommend if you do use arch choose the desktop setting and choose a launcher of your choice. This should get you a graphical interface to start you off with and you can go from there.
Thank you so much for this! Managed to install it on my laptop really really quick, I still need to get used to the workflow coming from kde plasma lol Hyprland does look beautiful, love the animations
Hello and thank you for the comment. I am glad to hear that you got it all setup. Yes the workflow is a bit different but once you get used to it you would definitely see the advantages:) have fun customizing and thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech Hey, I'm a totally beginner at Arch Linux, I've followed your tutorial for ten times, try to reboot the usb and do the same thing, but i still met the error "nmcli: command not found" and can connect to the Internet before install Arch, I thought I had some problems with pacman package, so can u give me some advices at glance or can i had your contact to have some more helps. Much appreciation on your work, have a great day.
Been using Ubuntu for 1 year, I had never used Linux before that. Tonight I did a fresh install of hyprland (following this tutorial) on both my laptop and pc. I’ll be daily driving it from here on out. Thanks for the great tutorial.. And also great work if you are the one behind hyprland (pretty sure you are!) thanks again.
Hello and thank you for the comment! Glad to hear the install script worked for you. I am not the developer of Hyprland, that honor goes to "Vaxry" github.com/vaxerski . My project is creating a script that installs the necessary packages and setup a config that makes it easy to get started with Hyprland :) thank you again for the kind words and thank you for watching!
Omg I love your gui. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter because you spend all day staring at a terminal but still…. I enjoy the process of setting up a new clean system - especially when it looks as good as this.
I have a complete to my purposes fitting i3 and herbstluftwm configuration but man, that took a while to get perfect. Now I am just going the quick way, so thanks for providing this and make it so easy!
amazinggg man i was rly struggling with hyprland on my device i start a new clean installation with you and everything went fine i'm waiting for more configuration like this
Thank you for the comment! I am very happy to hear as this is exactly the reason I made this video :) I have some ideas for additional configs so I hope to be able to deliver them soon. Thank you for watching!
This channel is so underrated, the quality of the video is so good, keep up the good work man! This tutorial really helped me out setup things, thank you.
After entering the commands to install Arch completely manually in the past, I was no longer able to do this! Keep getting error messages after hours of entering assignments. This installation was easy, and I want to thank you for it! Also for the Hyprland setup!
Hello, that's fantastic! its the reason I created this video :) I am working on another config that would have additional functionality so that's coming soon! Thank you for watching!
Very impresive video, pretty well made and explained , easy to follow, but i would really like to see a full step by step video on how to get all these configurations done.
For beginners, this is A tier installation guide, even though it is an installer, it helps out great. The Color scheme and background were really nice so I "borrowed" the background and color scheme.
I just loaded this on one of my primary systems. So it will be used daily! Thank you so much. I decided to try BTRFS with compression. I set compression during the install process, but it didn't update the /etc/fstab I will do it manually but you might want to check the build script.
Thank yo for the comment! very glad to hear you would be daily driving this :) As far as the filesystem, that option is from archinstall script which is not written or maintained by me so unfortunately I will not be able to assist with that feedback. With that said, that install script is fairly new and the Arch team is always updating it so its possible a fix for this would be in sometime soon. Thanks again for the comment and thank you for watching!
All cool kids today uses hyprland. I was having a hardtime setting everything up, tks to your script thigs works well. Now i will fuckaround and find out more about hyprland. Thech problems? Better call Sol
Thank you! Very simple and functional theme, while also looking great. Imo, this hundred times better than all the futuristic looking themes that pull tons of packages, but still look cartoonish and fail to deliver.
Yo bro, thanks for the video. I started used Arch Linux a few months and i configure qtile. But i would configure other window manager and i think hyprland and you sharing this knowledge. Big thanks love!
Thank you for the comment I appreciate the kind words :) I made a V2 of this script with a slightly changed config and an improved install so you may want to check that out here ua-cam.com/video/8GmpCwBqHCA/v-deo.html thank you again and thanks for watching!
Love this, thank you very much. I have managed a couple of changes to the waybar; changing the clock to my personal preference wasn't too difficult however I am stumped on the weather python script. Being in UK we have for many years used Centigrade, but the weather shows Fahrenheit, which hardly anyone except USA uses anymore. Similarly the CPU temperature, which I actually managed to change to Centigrade.
Welcome to the world of computing my friend 😂 I'm sorry this doesn't work now, but I'm sure you can find some other tutorials and search it for yourself, goodluck.
Hello and thank you for the comment. I would be interested to know how well the config files worked so if you can please drop me a line, I would appreciate it. Also please note that the script I have for setting everything up would overwrite any existing configs. So just keep that in mind if you plan to run the "set-hypr" script on an existing system. Thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech It didn't want to install from the script for me, so I used yay. Everything starts at least on first reading. The only thing I notice is that the waybar does not work correctly for me. EndeavourOS with sway as a base.
@@SolDoesTech It didn't load the whole right and middle part for me, but after entering the correct config file, things were fine, now comes the customization process
Ohh... This is impossible fantastic. Many thanks for this ready-made extremely useful config file. This is perfect beginning to start hyprland tiling window manager. I will review these codes to find out. Thank you very much o7.
Great video, sorry if I messed with the algorithm by watching in 1.5x speed, I'm in a bit of a time crunch. Just wanted to advise that the boot menu isn't always accessed by holding esc key when powering on. This point could cause some confusion for some users without some kind of disclaimer in the video or someplace easily visible to them. I for one have 3 machines, my main uses esc, my secondary uses f12 and my third (which i barely use) takes f2 for the boot menu.
Sol, thank you so much! I had been using kubuntu on my thinkpad for a while and decided to try out arch + hyprland, and guess what? it runs absolutely great!! I did not have to install hyprland from scratch because of your config. Thanks again my dude!!
@@-flixz Hello, glad to hear you got Hyprland working but sounds like the waybar had failed. I did see you posted on the V3 so I assume that got you fixed so let me know if you still need help with V1
after yay -S hyprland-bin See if that installs, if it does you can then execute Hyprland with a capital H and it should show you the GUI: I have a black screen
Hello sorry that it didnt work for you :( I am working on a V2 of the script that has some more error checking as well as logging. I also added some additional tools based on the feedback I got :) I will be releasing a video soon with the new version so maybe that one would work better for you. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much ! You know, I am a windows user, but I started to learn coding (actually JavaScript), and I use terminal for Git/GitHub for save my work, and use NPM for some package. I LOVE that, I feel I can understand and control my environment, it’s amazing, but since long time, I feel Windows is too much intrusive in my life, too much question, or many updates I don’t want, many process I don’t want, it’s like a big spyware box who « eat » my laptop. Sorry, my English is good, but I try to do my best for explain you : I thought many time to use Linux and learn how to use it, for have a better quality life with computer environment, and soon, my work environment. But you know, the first step is the most difficult…..but your video give me confidence, and now, I am feeling ready :) I just bought another laptop, a second hand old Lenovo laptop X270, today I follow your steps. Thank you so much
Thank you for the comment, you are 100% correct. The goal is to get a running system and provide enough info so someone can feel comfortable customizing. Thank you for watching!
Yeah, you have to go into that config file and basically remove the lines giving you conflicts. There will be a few more, essentially anything that has a blur parameter in that section.
So Sol, what is stopping you from setting up Calamares installer? You could have your own distro with no real work for your users. this was an interesting guide. Interesting that you used lots of Sway components and looks that were first shared on places like unixporn. It is spotless. I run my own setup, but I can appreciate yours. May the Arch be with you.
Hello, so first thank you for the comment. I must admit that when i posted this video I wasn't expecting such positive feedback. I am currently working on a V2 of this video with lots of fixes from the feedback i received. As far as making a Calamares installer and going down a distro fork.. didnt think that far out but i thank you for placing the idea in my head :D Thank you for watching my video and thanks again for the kind words. May the Arch be with you as well! :)
tysm! So helpful for getting a laptop quickly setup. Coming from i3 it definitely felt like an upgrade! Just a note though, sometimes the wifi won't work because it is blocked by rfkill, "rfkill unblock all" should fix it pretty quickly.
Hello and thank you for the input. When you say that rfkill is blocking the wifi can you be more specific on which stage(s) of the install? thank you. Glad that the script got you going on Hyprland quickly. I am working on a new version so any bug fixes I can put in would be helpful :) Thank you for watching!
Hello and thank you for the comment, unfortunately this setup is not going to work with Hyprland on a VM due to the graphic requirements. I myself use a VM for testing of my code on Nvidia via QEMU but I do a GPU passthrough and thats the only way I was able to get to work. Thank you for watching!
That is an excellent question, I tried sddm (clean and git) and gdm but I ended up with an odd black screen on logout with blinking cursor that I couldn't resolve. From what I can tell its a bad TTY switching but since I couldn't figure it out I decided to leave that out of this build as I didnt want to pass that possible problem to anyone following the video that may have a similar setup as mine.
@@kevinwakhisi7001 Thank you for sharing the details. I am going to continue to work on this and once I get that working I'll post an update. Thanks gain!
i managed to install it.everything works fine, but eh top bar which shows battery, time, date volume is missing. i remember some builds failed with your hyprland github repo.
Hello and thank you for the feedback, have you considered using the V4 version? This one has some fixes that should help with this. You can just install it on top of this version which is basically the V1. If you like the V1 look better then just hit the V icon in the waybar and it would flip through all the versions from V1 to V4 you can checkout the V4 video here ua-cam.com/video/whAi_y_LfEE/v-deo.html Thank you for watching!
I’m currently a junior in highschool. I’m forced to use a MacBook for school and it’s pretty nice but I hate how little I can customize it. I’ll remember this video when I buy my own pc laptop after I graduate ❤
I installed this in virtual box all was going well until the setup script part in the installation I'm getting an error that say's 'Failed to enable unit:Unit file bluetooth.service does not exist' then at the end when it say" would you like to start Hyprland now?" i type "y" and then get another error "./set-hypr: line 136:exec Hyprland: not found" can somebody plz help me how can i fix this problem?
Very good video. Great step by step instructions, even for me who is pretty new in the linux world. I see that the recommended way to start hyprland is to start it just as you mention at the end of the video. I would really like to have hyprland start automatically with a login/sccm screen. Could that be something you explain how to do in a part two?
Hello thank you for the comment, I appreciate it very much :) I am working on a "V2" for this setup with a bit more functionality and a graphical login manager which would make this whole thing a bit more complete. if you dont want to wait you can look into sddm specifically the sddm-git version on Arch you will need to do the following: yay -S sddm-git sudo systemctl enable sddm On your next login you would have a graphical login screen but please note that you may have tty switching login issues and possible logout issues so you may have to hit the ctrl+alt+F2 through F6 keys to get out of black screen. on my V2 version I hope to solve most of these issues with the install script. Thank you again and thanks for watching!
Hey where can i find the configuration for the bash prompt which you've set. It's not behaving very nice with alacritty so wanted to customize that. thanks
Hello, You are correct its a very different experience between a full blown DE and a WM. It does take time to get used to and honestly its not for everyone. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!
I prefer to have UI icon with keybinds shown, often what happens is there is keybinds for os then for apps i use , there are lot of keybinds on both sides then there are commands , so it's quit a lot of learning curve but always end up efficient if you remember all or have a manual to go back in case you forgot but it's hindrance if we keep forgetting or using it while doing critical stuff and lagging behind cuz we spent time catching up to the binds then whatever we were using the system to solve the problem we had in first place😅
My mind was blown when I figured out WMs existed. Like… for me they’re the best thing in the universe. To each their own though, it could be because I really love change, so anything different would feel better than what I have.
Grub was good with MBR partitioned disks by overriding boot record with its own when you needed a dual-boot setup with another OS. Now it's a useless layer between UEFI boot and GPT partitioned disks. Systemd-boot is more flexible, it creates a new EFI partition and doesn't touch anything already installed by another OS.
Great job on this one. But i have a question for you all...maybe someone can help me. I instaled hyprland on my desktop and for some reason when i first launch hyprland i don't see my bluetooth option in the top bar....Do i need to download anything extra? Thanks
A error message saying "config error at line 66 (/home/MyUser/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf): Error setting value for field : No such field. Hyprland may not work correctly." shows at the top of screen. How do I fix that?

Hi thanks for the tips very usefull, i have a question, i use popos for some times and lutris for gaming, some games work but some don't or work partially, example ghost recon breakpoint, the game launch but no way to play with 3440x1440 resolution and no way to change it because it stuck to 1280x270, i test with multiple runner no way to play the game with hight resolution, i have RTX 3070 and 3440x1440 monitor.
Thank you for the question. Lutris is very nice but it all depends on the script that was used to package the game and how well maintained it is. Most of the games I play on linux are through Steam and proton which works fantastic. I tried the same games through lutris and I was having similar issues to what you described, when I examined the lutris launch script I noticed it was outdated and havent been maintained in a while. You may want to check out the lutris forums for some help. Some very talented people there sometimes would have very impressive fixes.
It's a great video. First of all, I would like to thank you. I did it step by step, but such a screen did not appear, I was stuck on a black screen, what should I do? 15:19
Hello and thank you for the question. My script is geared toward Arch so if you want to get this working on anything else you will need to install the necessary packages by hand and once that is complete you can use the script to have it copy the config. With that said, please note that the script does run other commands that may not work on other distros so you may want to review it before you execute, also.. make sure you have a good backup just in case :) thank you for watching!
Hello, thank you for the comment! you will need to edit the following file: ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc search for the "temperature" module and update: "format": "{temperatureF}°F ", to: "format": "{temperatureC}°C ", it should be on line 115 inthe config
Hello, to change the background you will need to edit the config file here ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf then search for the line with "exec = swaybg" you will see a path to the current jpg. just update the path the image you like and save the file. Thank you for watching!
@@noobsniperxx I would assume that it shouldn't impact the core of hyprland but its possible that some items such as the GTK theme or the polkit may have an issue but its not very likely. Thank you for the question, I will keep that in mind and test that out as well.
First of all very good tut just when I finished installing Arch please explain to me why it did not show the dark terminal that you had? It directly boot into gnome and I used kitty to follow hyprland installation. After that I rebooted and changed the desktop. When booting into hyprland I have a context menu opened at the top with some error saying that some packages of hyprland were missing. Any help?
This is really cool. I'm been considering switching to arch on my laptop (ASUS G14), how are your experiences with battery life with this particular setup compared to other distros?
Hello and thank you for the comment. I have not seen an issue with battery life having the 3 power modes by using the utilities from asus-linux.org helps with conserving battery. That project is currently supported on Fedora and Arch so if you're thinking of hoping distro you and have an asus laptop you may want to check it out. Thank you for watching!

Hello and thank you for the question. So hyprland is in beta and its not designed with Nvidia GPUs in mind. With that said, I have found from the feedback that about 80-90% of the viewers who installed using the script were successful. Also to note that this is the first version of the install script and we are now on Version 4 with improved Nvidia support. I would recommend to take al ook at this video ua-cam.com/video/whAi_y_LfEE/v-deo.html if you plan to give this a try. Thank you for watching :)
using your config files rn how do i change the source of the weather i found it to be really inaccurate even when i check against like 3 other sources even though it is looking at the right city
Hello and thank you for the question. The weather script was not written by me. The developer info and the original script are listed here gist.github.com/bjesus/f8db49e1434433f78e5200dc403d58a3 from looking into your question I found that someone else had updated the script so check out this version here github.com/benupsavs/waybar-weather/blob/master/weather.py as it may have the functionality you are looking for.

@@SolDoesTech ok I'll look at it in a bit thanks for responding. Your config files help me get into Wayland when I been having trouble getting comfortable before. Coming from i3
would this script be suitable to test out alongside a current install of arch? Im running gnome and would like to try out Hyprland...if I run this script, will that cause any issues? Wonderful tutorial btw🤗🤗
Hello and thank you for the comment. This V1 script would most likely be the safest to run along side a gnome install as it doesn't force instal SDDM, the only issue with V1 is that it doesn't have any Nvidia support so Hyprland may fail to launch if you are using an Nvidia GPU. The other versions of my script do a bit more an do have Nvidia support but they do force SDDM which could conflict with your current login manager if you are on GDM which most gnome installs are. Hope that provides some info to help you make a decision :) Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Hello, to receive updates for your Arch system you can execute "yay -Suy" command. This would reach out to the Arch repos and AUR and will allow to update your system. Thank you for the question and thanks for watching!
nice. good tutorial. just a quick question, why do you have to clone yay into /opt where you can just clone into your home folder, (for initial installation), then after yay installed, the yay directory cloned can be deleted safely deleted. Because if I remember it correctly when aur packages needs to download some updates/packages from aur, it is using ~/.cache. Im just wondering. Nice of you to share your config. gives me and idea how to use keyboard brightness control.
Hello and thank you for the comment. You are 100% correct that you can clone yay to basically anywhere and then delete it after it's installed.

And thanks to your config, that armoury crate button now has a purpose lmao. All I need now is F6, F9 and F11. You have a discord or FB? Oh and also, do you experienced that if you have external monitor connected, and disconnecting the xternal monitor hyprland will log out? edit: found the command for getting the keybind numbers... wev or xorg-xev
@@Ja.KooLit Hello, you are correct I used wev to fin the correct keys for the monitor issue. I have not experienced that issue but try using a startup file for Hypr and include "export WLR_EGL_NO_MODIFIERS=1" that may help.
Hello, yes its possible but make sure to backup your system just in case :) after you install SDDM should have an entry for hyprland. If that entry doesnt launch hyprland then you may need to install sddm-git to replace the standard sddm
I wish I bought an all amd laptop too, wouldn't have needed to deal with nvidia's drivers. Welp, I'll stick with dwm and dual booting for now, but man does your config look amazing.

I found myself in a tty, so I restarted your script and that got me back to a desktop. I am not sure what I might've done wrong, but maybe I should install a display manager like sddm or lightdm.

very interesting. I recently installed arch on a new pc i got and went with KDE then installed hyprland from the aur and following the wiki.. it's such a pain to setup compared to this method. I might actually just whipe the entire thing and do this at this point.

@@SolDoesTech Hey, I'm a totally beginner at Arch Linux, I've followed your tutorial for ten times, try to reboot the usb and do the same thing, but i still met the error "nmcli: command not found" and can connect to the Internet before install Arch, I thought I had some problems with pacman package, so can u give me some advices at glance or can i had your contact to have some more helps. Much appreciation on your work, have a great day.
@@namle-wj4gztry type “pacman -S nmcli”, this should help you
@@namle-wj4gz nmcli should be included in the pacstrap command as networkmanager then enabled as a service before rebooting into the install
Been using Ubuntu for 1 year, I had never used Linux before that. Tonight I did a fresh install of hyprland (following this tutorial) on both my laptop and pc. I’ll be daily driving it from here on out. Thanks for the great tutorial.. And also great work if you are the one behind hyprland (pretty sure you are!) thanks again.
Hello and thank you for the comment! Glad to hear the install script worked for you. I am not the developer of Hyprland, that honor goes to "Vaxry" github.com/vaxerski . My project is creating a script that installs the necessary packages and setup a config that makes it easy to get started with Hyprland :) thank you again for the kind words and thank you for watching!
update?
Omg I love your gui. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter because you spend all day staring at a terminal but still…. I enjoy the process of setting up a new clean system - especially when it looks as good as this.
Your tutorial is calm and accurate and this makes it very easy to follow. Thank you for the video and keep it up. Great things ahead.💯

For beginners, this is A tier installation guide, even though it is an installer, it helps out great. The Color scheme and background were really nice so I "borrowed" the background and color scheme.
ive took the time to take a peek at the scripts and it seem to be fine so great job, trying to run it right now

I just loaded this on one of my primary systems. So it will be used daily! Thank you so much. I decided to try BTRFS with compression. I set compression during the install process, but it didn't update the /etc/fstab I will do it manually but you might want to check the build script.
Thank yo for the comment! very glad to hear you would be daily driving this :) As far as the filesystem, that option is from archinstall script which is not written or maintained by me so unfortunately I will not be able to assist with that feedback. With that said, that install script is fairly new and the Arch team is always updating it so its possible a fix for this would be in sometime soon.

It seems like these configs are outdated and doesn't work properly.
Welcome to the world of computing my friend 😂 I'm sorry this doesn't work now, but I'm sure you can find some other tutorials and search it for yourself, goodluck.
the best way to do all these is on your own, you take the liability of your OS.
Just remove the mouse config it seems to work

Great video, sorry if I messed with the algorithm by watching in 1.5x speed, I'm in a bit of a time crunch. Just wanted to advise that the boot menu isn't always accessed by holding esc key when powering on. This point could cause some confusion for some users without some kind of disclaimer in the video or someplace easily visible to them. I for one have 3 machines, my main uses esc, my secondary uses f12 and my third (which i barely use) takes f2 for the boot menu.
Sol, thank you so much! I had been using kubuntu on my thinkpad for a while and decided to try out arch + hyprland, and guess what? it runs absolutely great!! I did not have to install hyprland from scratch because of your config. Thanks again my dude!!
Hey sol, I don't see my waybar, can you help me?

Thanks a lot but I'm getting a config error at line 66 (home/usr/config/hypr/hyperland.conf error setting vale
Yeah, you have to go into that config file and basically remove the lines giving you conflicts. There will be a few more, essentially anything that has a blur parameter in that section.
I would recommend using a display manager to prevent logging in thru tty as if wayland crushes then you will still be logged in
This looks beautiful.. and good walk-through. 👍
So Sol, what is stopping you from setting up Calamares installer? You could have your own distro with no real work for your users. this was an interesting guide. Interesting that you used lots of Sway components and looks that were first shared on places like unixporn. It is spotless. I run my own setup, but I can appreciate yours. May the Arch be with you.
Hello, so first thank you for the comment. I must admit that when i posted this video I wasn't expecting such positive feedback. I am currently working on a V2 of this video with lots of fixes from the feedback i received. As far as making a Calamares installer and going down a distro fork.. didnt think that far out but i thank you for placing the idea in my head :D Thank you for watching my video and thanks again for the kind words.

Hello and thank you for the feedback, have you considered using the V4 version? This one has some fixes that should help with this. You can just install it on top of this version which is basically the V1.

Very good video. Great step by step instructions, even for me who is pretty new in the linux world. I see that the recommended way to start hyprland is to start it just as you mention at the end of the video. I would really like to have hyprland start automatically with a login/sccm screen. Could that be something you explain how to do in a part two?
Hello thank you for the comment, I appreciate it very much :) I am working on a "V2" for this setup with a bit more functionality and a graphical login manager which would make this whole thing a bit more complete. if you dont want to wait you can look into sddm specifically the sddm-git version on Arch you will need to do the following:
yay -S sddm-git
sudo systemctl enable sddm
On your next login you would have a graphical login screen but please note that you may have tty switching login issues and possible logout issues so you may have to hit the ctrl+alt+F2 through F6 keys to get out of black screen. on my V2 version I hope to solve most of these issues with the install script. Thank you again and thanks for watching!

WM's are not my thing. I prefer a desktop. Currently it's KDE. Key bindings I tried them, but I just prefer the mouse.
Hello, You are correct its a very different experience between a full blown DE and a WM. It does take time to get used to and honestly its not for everyone. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!
Ubuntu user vibes
I prefer to have UI icon with keybinds shown, often what happens is there is keybinds for os then for apps i use , there are lot of keybinds on both sides then there are commands , so it's quit a lot of learning curve but always end up efficient if you remember all or have a manual to go back in case you forgot but it's hindrance if we keep forgetting or using it while doing critical stuff and lagging behind cuz we spent time catching up to the binds then whatever we were using the system to solve the problem we had in first place😅
My mind was blown when I figured out WMs existed. Like… for me they’re the best thing in the universe. To each their own though, it could be because I really love change, so anything different would feel better than what I have.
@@mbk0mbk We all have different workflows. That's the beauty of Linux. You have so many options you don't have on Windows.
Grub was good with MBR partitioned disks by overriding boot record with its own when you needed a dual-boot setup with another OS. Now it's a useless layer between UEFI boot and GPT partitioned disks.
Systemd-boot is more flexible, it creates a new EFI partition and doesn't touch anything already installed by another OS.

Hi thanks for the tips very usefull, i have a question, i use popos for some times and lutris for gaming, some games work but some don't or work partially, example ghost recon breakpoint, the game launch but no way to play with 3440x1440 resolution and no way to change it because it stuck to 1280x270, i test with multiple runner no way to play the game with hight resolution, i have RTX 3070 and 3440x1440 monitor.
Thank you for the question. Lutris is very nice but it all depends on the script that was used to package the game and how well maintained it is. Most of the games I play on linux are through Steam and proton which works fantastic. I tried the same games through lutris and I was having similar issues to what you described, when I examined the lutris launch script I noticed it was outdated and havent been maintained in a while. You may want to check out the lutris forums for some help. Some very talented people there sometimes would have very impressive fixes.

Can I install this configuration on Ubuntu or Debian based distros!
Hello and thank you for the question. My script is geared toward Arch so if you want to get this working on anything else you will need to install the necessary packages by hand and once that is complete you can use the script to have it copy the config. With that said, please note that the script does run other commands that may not work on other distros so you may want to review it before you execute, also.. make sure you have a good backup just in case :) thank you for watching!

would this script be suitable to test out alongside a current install of arch? Im running gnome and would like to try out Hyprland...if I run this script, will that cause any issues? Wonderful tutorial btw🤗🤗
Hello and thank you for the comment. This V1 script would most likely be the safest to run along side a gnome install as it doesn't force instal SDDM, the only issue with V1 is that it doesn't have any Nvidia support so Hyprland may fail to launch if you are using an Nvidia GPU. The other versions of my script do a bit more an do have Nvidia support but they do force SDDM which could conflict with your current login manager if you are on GDM which most gnome installs are. Hope that provides some info to help you make a decision :) Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the guide! Will this installation be automatically updated with new versions of Heprland?
Hello, to receive updates for your Arch system you can execute "yay -Suy" command. This would reach out to the Arch repos and AUR and will allow to update your system. Thank you for the question and thanks for watching!
that's pretty nice =), I just have an issue, at the waybar the clock isn't showing :O
7zip can also do checksums to export a SHA256 hash btw
nice. good tutorial.
just a quick question, why do you have to clone yay into /opt where you can just clone into your home folder, (for initial installation), then after yay installed, the yay directory cloned can be deleted safely deleted. Because if I remember it correctly when aur packages needs to download some updates/packages from aur, it is using ~/.cache. Im just wondering.

You have a discord or FB?
Oh and also, do you experienced that if you have external monitor connected, and disconnecting the xternal monitor hyprland will log out?
edit: found the command for getting the keybind numbers... wev or xorg-xev
@@Ja.KooLit Hello, you are correct I used wev to fin the correct keys for the monitor issue. I have not experienced that issue but try using a startup file for Hypr and include "export WLR_EGL_NO_MODIFIERS=1" that may help.
Is it possible to install this on top of an existing Wayland arch Linux kde installation?
Hello, yes its possible but make sure to backup your system just in case :) after you install SDDM should have an entry for hyprland. If that entry doesnt launch hyprland then you may need to install sddm-git to replace the standard sddm
Very nice work! Congrats!
I wish I bought an all amd laptop too, wouldn't have needed to deal with nvidia's drivers. Welp, I'll stick with dwm and dual booting for now, but man does your config look amazing.
Hello, thank you much appreciated :) Having all AMD in the Linux world makes things so much easier for sure. I am excited for the Framework 16 and I hope they would offer an all AMD version. I think it would make an excellent Linux workstation. Thanks again for the comment and thank you for watching!
Can you make a video tutorial on how to install and use the "NEWM" window manager?
Newm is a window manager for wayland that doesn't use virtual desktops per se, but instead arranges all windows on something similar to a canvas
Hello and thank you for the suggestion, I made a note of that and will give it a look :)
Please help!!! I cannot start Hyprland
cannot open display: :0
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr: no process found
[CRITICAL] xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland: no process found

I've got a PROBLEM! The highest resolution my laptop monitor is supporting is 1280x720. It usually runs on 1920x1080. Xrandr however says that 1920x1080 not found in available modes.
Hello and thank you for the comment. execute this command while in an Hyprland session:
hyprctl monitors
This would give you an output of your monitor port and resolution. you can then edit ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.con and update the line reading monitor= to
monitor=,1920x1080,auto, auto
Hope this solves the issue, thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech manually settings the resolution and refresh in the hyprland config fixed it! Thanks!!!
Hey , why I need a password and username to clone the git repository ? I don’t get it how to make a the token without any browser just trough tty… is there a chance to clone it without authentication? 😢
so thats odd since it's a public repo but you are the 2nd person who mentioned that so I'm not sure why it's doing that... Check out my improved script here github.com/SolDoesTech/HyprV2 and here is the video for what that new script looks like ua-cam.com/video/8GmpCwBqHCA/v-deo.html thank you for watching!
hey man i have a question, can i use hyprland with nvidia card? (rtx 2060) i love archlinux and fedora, nice video
Hi there, thank you so much for the video, amazing experience just by looking. I have a mini version of your laptop (asus G14 with rtx 3050ti), were you able to have suspend working on your laptop ? On my end, i get sometimes a freeze pc after awake or blackscreen. Best regards
The zephyrus g14 is no where near a mini version of the strix g15, they're from entirely different lines with entirely different design philosophies, one being normal bulky gaming laptop and the other being a thin and light gaming laptop.
@@vali69 hi there, do you have suspend working?
Hello, I assume we are talking about Linux so... I have no issues with suspending the laptop. One thing you may want to make sure is that you have a large enough swap space as that could cause what you're experiencing. Here is a link to some lite reading ;) wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate Thank you for watching!
@@SolDoesTech I followed your fedora tutorial but never got suspend to work right, sometimes it freezes and sometimes it just don't let me put my password when awake from suspend
@@christophesilva9853 I wish I had more to suggest but unfortunately its an issue that I am not equip to troubleshoot :( I would highly recommend the Fedora forums as a good place to start discussion.fedoraproject.org/ hope you are able to find a solution there.
I'm a power user but i have weird habit to watch noob tutorials, idk why, maybe i just feel nostalgic about times when i was noob myself and had a lot to learn 🤨
Hello, thank you for watching :)
Nice video and thanks for sharing your config files Sol. Everything worked great, but when I shutdown earlier for dinner, I wasn't able to boot into the Hyprland desktop when I returned. I found myself in a tty, so I restarted your script and that got me back to a desktop. I am not sure what I might've done wrong, but maybe I should install a display manager like sddm or lightdm. Before I do that what config file do you think I should take a look at first?
Oops...never mind Sol, I just looked at the bottom of your script. Now I understand LOL! 71 years old and I forgot how to think for a moment....we'll call in a 'senior' moment. :o)
:) glad you were able to figure it out. Thank you for the comment, much appreciated. I am working on a "V2" of this project and I am going to include a graphical display manager to help with the login process. Thank you for watching!
@@johnschmiess2054 You know, I was proud that my mom runs EndeavourOS at 70. I love that you're 71 and like to mod some Arch. You are a cool grandpa.
@@G-3-A-R-Z Thanks H S...I really love linux, so many great distros, desktop environments, & now I am getting into some WM's. I am impressed that your mom uses EndeavourOS @70. Most folks in my age group are running Linux Mint if they are into Linux at all. Nothing wrong with that as it is an excellent distro, but an Arch based distro requires a bit more maintenance. Does your mom know how to chroot into EOS when something like a Grub update borks her system? I am betting she does!
very interesting. I recently installed arch on a new pc i got and went with KDE then installed hyprland from the aur and following the wiki.. it's such a pain to setup compared to this method. I might actually just whipe the entire thing and do this at this point.
Thank you for the comment and hope that it works out if you decide to try it. Thank you for watching!
@@MarkMath I am going to do the same next week but mostly just because i don't want to configure waybar myself lol
