You're welcome Jeff! ☺ I have found that too, where some distros don't like certain hardware combos.

Same thing, Garuda Hyprland won't even boot on my rig, while vanilla Arch with Hyprland on top works flawlessly.

Oh also Garuda just updated their isos at the end of October so maybe try again if you haven’t in the last month.

KZfaq is deleting my comments trying to help you guys . For the third time: hyprland can be installed as a session. On top of a DE like gnome or KDE

Hi Mark, I went the same route after Arco on Hyprland. OpenSuse was my best experience with Hyprland. Terrific is the perfect word for it! 👍👍

Thanks travis!

Hi Leslie, great to hear from you again! The linux filename is: garuda-hyprland-linux-zen-231029.iso Thanks for the 5 stars, I appreciate that. Regarding prep, I tested the Garuda spin for a couple days, but previously daily drove Hyprland with Arch for about 2 months. For the script, well I hope you don't think less of me LoL, but I never do scripts. I just wing it every time. I feel that I can be more "myself" when I simply turn on the camera and start speaking. Sometimes however I'll record the video part first and then narrate separately the 2nd time round but it's still done spontaneously without a script. By doing the video part first, it makes it easier when something goes wrong like recording a complete video just to find out your mic was turned off, LoL. Of course then there's editing and creating the thumbnail. An entire day needs to be set aside to get it all that done. :)

Hi Alex, I've only been using it for a couple days, but so far yes. I'm going to make a follow-up video detailing my experience so far. came across some minor glitches which I resolved. Been keeping track & gonna share. 👍👍

I ran Hyprland on Arch too & also had a flawless experience (except for minor Wayland issues when creating content)

@@jackkeifer Sure, there are some bugs in Wayland, especially on nVidia, but those are so minor that I don't even count them as bugs, they are either easily fixable or so small I don't mind. But, that is depending on your hardware config, some combinations work flawlessly, others won't even boot. Of course, that's my experience, other's mileage may vary.

Spot on. The boot issue seems like a common thing since reading yours & other's comments. I had a similar thing with a Debian based distro last year & it turned out to be related to btrfs going read-only by the installer. I had to boot back into the usb stick & run "sudo btrfs check --clear-space-cache v2 /dev/sda2" to fix it. lsblk gave me the version (v2). However, I just tried it on a laptop and experienced a boot issue just like you described. I had a single partition. After adding a 100 mb partition (you only need 8mb) and setting a boot flag on it. I reinstalled again & it worked! I realize that I may have just gotten lucky, but I thought I'd share that anyway. 👍

@@jackkeifer That's interesting, I'll try that when I have time, maybe it will work, it's Wayland so, who knows.
