  1. So... for the past couple days I have been experimenting with #Hyprland and to be honest - I don't really know how to express my feelings so I would just... share some thoughts.

    Why did I even decide to try it?
    I saw on the Internet that it exists, couple of my friends told me to at least try it... so I installed it.

    Was I struggling?
    Of course I was! At first I wasn't able to understand how do I find myself in this and what's necessary in order for it to work. Then I saw that using this is about 95% with keyboard and some key configs.

    Did I want to uninstall?
    At first yes because I was enraged that I wasn't able to jump between apps using alt-tab/mouse anymore but I got used to that style of "jumping".

    Where is it installed nowadays and will I ever install it anywhere else?
    So far it is installed only on my main PC cuz it has enough RAM to work without lagging but if I ever buy myself a laptop with => 8GB of RAM, I will install Hyprland on that device as well.

    What are the next steps?
    I want to learn visual config cuz installing pre-made configs will revert what I had set up to the factory settings.

    But now...

  2. Topic: #Linux (english version below)

    Przez ostatnie kilka dni bawiłem się w coś co się zwie #Hyprland i szczerze mówiąc - nie wiem jak do końca mam opisać swoje odczucia więc się lepiej rozpiszę.

    Czemu w ogóle postanowiłem się w to zabawić?
    Zobaczyłem na internetach że jest coś takiego, kilkoro znajomych zachęciło mnie żebym chociaż spróbował i zobaczył z czym to się je... więc zainstalowałem.

    Czy były problemy?
    Ależ oczywiście! Na początku nie mogłem zrozumieć tego jak się nawiguje i w ogóle co jest potrzebne żeby to jako tako działało. Później dopiero dostrzegłem że nawigacja odbywa się w 95% za pomocą klawiatury przy użyciu kombinacji klawiszy.

    Czy chciałem odinstalować?
    Na początku tak bo mnie frustrowało to że do skakania po programach nie mogę już używać myszki/alt-taba ale z czasem przywykłem do tego typu nawigacji.

    Gdzie teraz mam to zainstalowane i czy kiedykolwiek będę wgrywał to gdzie indziej?
    Na razie mam to tylko na głównym PC bo tylko tam mam odpowiednio sporą pamięć RAM żeby mi działało bez zarzutów ale jeżeli kupię sobie kiedyś jakiegoś używanego laptopa z => 8GB pamięci RAM to i tam będzie Hyprland.

    Co planuję dalej z tym?
    Chcę się nauczyć konfiguracji wizualnej ponieważ wgranie już gotowych plików cofnie to co zrobiłem do wartości domyślnej.

    A póki co...

  3. I think anyone that has followed me or even been adjacent to anything I've said is aware that I have kind of a weird relationship with the UX of modern computers - I by far prefer terminal interfaces, and would be perfectly happy if the mouse were an invention left in the distant past.  For a while I used #gnome, then switched to #hyprland.  Neither was inherently bad (and I got pretty used to the hyperland way of doing things, especially the configurability), but neither particularly worked the way I think.  In years past I used to enjoy #xfce, but no wayland support yet.

    I spent a couple of weeks trying random window managers / compositors, but none really sat well with me - so I wound up rolling my own.  riverwm recently split their compositor out from the 'desktop environment', so I was able to build on that.  So now I have a #tag based interface (windows are tagged with 1 or more labels; the display shows label groups) that is almost completely keyboard driven.  There's still some rough edges, especially around focus stealing and tag switching latency, but it's the 1 computer thing that I've done lately that I actually enjoyed.

    I've been waiting on Ubuntu 26.04, but once I've installed that I think I'm gonna get into #ricing! (#Hyprland looks like it wasn't easily usable on 24.04, but should be better on 26.04)

  9. TIL: there’s a thing named #DankLinux, which is “a complete desktop shell for #niri, #Hyprland, #MangoWC, #Sway, #labwc, #Scroll, #MiracleWM, and other #Wayland compositors”. This might be a quick and easy way to get all the little details working out of the box, and to get a consistent look’n’feel as a bonus.

    (EDIT: oh, and it’s based on #QuickShell.)
