Hyprland configuration

Caution

Since Hyprland started their rework. Please be aware that it is not currently stable and you can experience bugs/unexpected crashes. Use at your own risk. Even their “stable” version is also broken and buggy therefore we do not plan to provide support outside of our dotfiles. Refer to their wiki instead.

Tip

Start Hyprland using the non systemd entry otherwise it won’t start and lead to a black screen.

Example: Hyprland instead of Hyprland(systemd).

Our main goal with our setup is to have a working Hyprland but keeping it simple therefore some essential tools and programs might be missing such as a GUI File Manager.

Take a look into our Hyprland FAQ.

FAQ

Why does my Discord, Thunar and Nautilus have a weird background?

This is because the window has a modified opacity

• Consider modifying the window rule in the Hyprland config file.

Example

windowrulev2 = opacity 0.92, class:^(thunar|nemo)$

Is there a File Manager included?

• No, install one you like
