Hyprland - A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

As title said.

Anyway, I have created an installer for Arch-based distros (exemption to Manjaro, Manjaro is just special lmao)

GitHub - JaKooLit/Hyprland-v2: An improved Arch Hyprland Installer script. Script can also be use in any Arch Based Linux, even with existing Hyprland installed.

Note, this is only for Hyprland part. Needed atleast Arch-minimal with user already created. Dont run as root.

I have seen a few videos about Hyperland. Seems nice.

It is nice.. not as stable as sway (for now) but it is getting lots of support and improving really fast

Hyprland is nice, but it's definitely not something I'd daily. It is really pretty though.

I took a look at the script and it looks ok, but I do wonder what's the benefit of this over the user manually installing all of it, considering this is Arch we're talking about. Maybe as a "first install" bootstrap kind of thing?

Why SDDM btw? For a Wayland-pure environment GDM is better, IMO, unless configuring sddm-git to use Wayland but that's really buggy still.

Most of the people showing it off in Youtube and other socials run that junk in a VM. No way you could daily half of the Arch distros if you actually depend on your machine for work.

Thanks for looking at the script. The SDDM is a choice. Created for those who are noob and lazy to configure by themselves

Sadly you cant run full Hyprland in a VM, even 3D acceleration is enabled. It will ran but performance is really bad. And I use Arch and Gentoo for my machines for work. Well not for server of course. As my daily driver which involves work

I haven't tried, but I don't see why it couldn't work using virgl, unless it uses Vulkan to render? not too aware.

Apologized, I edited my earlier reply. It will ran but its far from being usable.
