For a while now Hyprland has had support for plugins but installing them was kind of hassle but now we have a first party plugin manager called Hyprpm deprecating the 3rd party solution Hyprload so let's also look at the kinds of plugins available.

Got Hyprland running as my main Compositor, with KDE Wayland as the backup. The plugin manager is exciting...ish? I have the window titles scripted for toggle on/off, and use Pyprland for managing scratchpads, and that's pretty much it. Feel like those pieces should just be features in Hyprland proper honestly, but it's Vaxry's project, I just use it. Used to be an X11 purist, but you and Nick from Linux Experiment pushing it kinda forced me to swallow my own BS and give it a shot, and you were mostly right, it's workable for where I am.

Currently running Hyprland on NixOS, with an NVIDIA GPU. Almost everything works perfectly. The only issues I have encountered are for gaming and GIMP, where GIMP will be unusually slow for a lot of things, a lot of games don't launch, and those that do often have terrible flickering (such as Minecraft and Minetest), though most emulators work surprisingly well. But as NVIDIA and Hyprland (and wlroots and Wayland in general) are not good friends, these are to be expected. Before I get clowned on for using an NVIDIA GPU, I *need* CUDA. I would be just fine and happy with ROCM, but after AMD stopped supporting it on their cards that they had only released for 2 years, out of the blue, whilst NVIDIA keeps good support for CUDA for over a decade... the choice became clear to me. As much as it is a pain.

You should try running games inside Gamescope. I had a similar issue with Larian games (BG3 and Divinity OS 2) and Gamescope fixed it. The only downside is that the game will always act like it has focus.

@atemoc 5 ай бұрын

@@Wampa842 I've tried gamescope, but to no avail. Most games will launch under gamescope, but only display the first frame of the game before the game completely locks up (at least visually), and it can't be stopped unless it gets a sigkill signal. I've heard that downgrading to the 535 drivers fix some of these issues, but doing so also brings back some nasty bugs that these older version had with Wayland compositors, so it's not even worth the effort for me. It seems that commit bd722f7 caused this issue to occur on gamescope, but it hasn't been reverted, nor is it looking like it is going to ever be... If you have any help or guide for me to make gamescope actually work properly for my games (under Steam flatpak and outside of steam as other flatpak apps (be it native or under wine)), it would be great. Cheers.

And am using X11 for stuff which doesn't work well on Wayland as well as playing some games like Quake Live, which has huge input delay on Wayland, while not having any (perceivable) on X11.

The big issue is that I'm not real interested in KDE and Gnome will be my GUI environment over my dead body. Wayfire is the only independent compositor I know of that's likely to implement those things I need, and its focus seems to be a lot of crap I don't. I might be best off just waiting for xfce 4.20 (duuuude…)

You can just define which monitor owns which workspace using workspace rules in your Hyprland config. I’ve left a full comment on here explaining it, but the most basic example is something like this: workspace=1,DP-1 workspace=2,HDMI-A-1 In this example, workspace 1 is owned by, and will only be accessible on, the first Display Port monitor, and workspace 2 is owned by the first HDMI monitor. You can find the names of your monitors with “hyprctl monitors all” to list them out for your workspace rules.

13:11 I'm not running Hyprland, I don't really like tiling windows. For me floating windows are the way to go. But since a week I'm on Wayland, using KWin inside KDE. The only thing I don't like about Wayland is that a multi-monitor LibreOffice presentation pops up both the presenter view and the audience view on the same screen. Moving the audience view manually to the second monitor seems to break stuff, as the audience window then just always shows the first slide, no matter what. So letting the apps themselves decide where to put their windows is one of the few things I am missing in Wayland right now. And Skype just straight-out refuses to screenshare, even the web version inside Firefox, although Firefox _can_ screenshare, as I could see with Discord on the web.

Hyprland is great, nice and beautyful, but i can't handle the fact that i get distracted too easily. I prefer use dwm with no patches and no picom. Just solid solors and no animations.

Good ol' vanilla kwin It's boring, but it's about as stable as it gets with Wayland compositors, I reckon

i use Hyprland but it is still so so bad for gaming, and mouse support.

What kind of trouble are you having? I have been on Hyprland for about 3 months and did not have any trouble with games. Just a small problem with CS2 when switching workspaces while the game is on full-screen but nothing major.

i see these comments from time to time and wonder what the heck lol ive never had any issues with games or mice and ive been running hyprland since a month or two after it started

@@benign4823 it is hit and miss for mouse support in games, games like terraria it works perfectly, the cursor is locked in the window, but in the menu you can move the cursor to a other screen and change to a other Brodie video. But in others like no man sky the cursor is always locked in the window and the game dies if you try to get it out, then there are games that don't get any click events from hyprland, so i switch back to i3 all the time, like a windows user. I don't like that i can't do games and work on the place

I'd prefere Wayfire over Hyprland for features and performance (pure tiling manager is useless for me). I've made a simple test, playing a 4k video with mpv (my monitor is a 1080p one). Wayfire has had better performance over Hyprland and Weston, very close to the better xorg performance.

so hyprland added another overly complex feature before even releasing its 1.0 version again???? who would've thought

What if I told you version numbers didn't mean anything, Hyprland doesn't use semantic versioning
