@@mylinuxforwork No special GPU setup. Running in a VM like you but using VMware on a Mac. It's an existing Arch installation I've been using for ages with Gnome on Wayland. I tried Hyprland a while back but couldn't get it to start at all back then. I think at that point it wasn't supported in a VM? After seeing your video I thought I would give it another try with those two env variables set. Hyprland launches fine and looks brilliant. But I am struggling to launch various applications. My default terminal when I use Gnome is Alacritty and it work flawlessly there. I can launch Gnome Terminal and if I try to launch Alacritty from there it chucks out a bunch of errors relating to "wayland". I also can't launch Nautilus. Attempting to lauch VSCode crashes Hyprland completely and takes me back to GDM. Firefox launches but runs really slow and slows down Hyprland too, the mouse start lagging on and off.

There are so many videos on how to install Hyprland, it becomes the same thing over again. Better for a noob like me, would be to show me what it is, what it actually does, how does it make my workflow better. How would it help me in my work environment; is it even compatible with software my work uses.. you know, actually getting stuff done, as oppose to...here is how to install it. Just my two cents.
