How difficult was it getting hyperland up and running? I’d be interested in trying it, but the faq’s alone scare me away lol.

Easier than I thought it was going to be, but I had a ton of experience with various window managers under Xorg. The difference comes in swapping out certain tools for their wayland counterparts. Example using wofi or fuzzel, instead of rofi, imv, instead of feh, grim, instead of scrot, swaybg or hyprpaper, instead of nitrogen, mako, instead of dunst. The alternatives are there, you just have to make the necessary small adjustments.

If you want to try Hyprland check out this guy’s video and config files. You can get a working and usable setup very easily.

For me, Hyprland, and wayland are the way forward. There’s no going back to X11. Grins

Personally, I use fuzzel. For those looking for replacement apps under wayland, here’s a place to start your search.

In my experience, it has great defaults and is quite easy to configure. There were a couple things that annoyed me so ill be waiting a bit to use it over sway, but all in all its ready to daily drive, and its very pretty

I agree…Hyprland is pretty damn good out of the box. Add how easy it is to configure and customize, it’s only a matter of time before it truly takes off, and gains more traction :-)
