#hyprland — Public Fediverse posts

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.

@WeirdWriter
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)

@codeDude There sure are caveats with Niri, like when sometimes I open a window at an end of a scroll and get it lost. Or when I forget that a window is open some few workspace down and fews scrolls right. But the advantages, I think, makes up for it.
Btw, I used to be on #Hyprland before trying out #Niri

@codeDude I had the same impression of #Niri at first. But I daily drived it for a while and then I couldn't go back to normal tiling wms.
Niri always opens a window in ones preferred size. When #Hyprland (or any most tiling wms) opens a window, the size depends on what one already has on screen.
On Niri, opening another window does not resize the existing window, on hyprland it does.

I've tested #sway #niri and now #hyprland and at the end I choosed Hyprland as my default tilling window manager and sway for my old machine, simple I love the #i3 experience so sway was my default one but the animation and the fact that with a couple of minutes I can reproduce the i3 experience in hyprland I've choosed hyprland. Niri experience is interesant but it's not for me, this infinite scroll is anoying for me at the end.

@Purplegengar25 what people often refer to/mean when they say #Linux actually works well as a daily driver. It just doesn't have the market share, and sadly, the ones that come optimised and with a #linuxdistro pre-installed cost just as much as a MacBook Pro.

I'm not dissing Linux, I use #Hyprland over an Ubuntu server 26.04 minimal base with containerised apps via docker.

We just need the general public to better understand how easy Linux is to use.

Then it will for sure be our year!

@jwallen @open-source-ZDNet thank you so much for the review of #StratOS! Never did I (or we, the @StratOS team) expect a review from a major outlet such as ZDNet. Words aren't enough to express my most sincere gratitude.


I'm the maintainer of the #Hyprland spin, and I'm REALLY happy you like it. And we've got more spins coming up - #SwayFX, #Cosmic, #MangoWC etc.

I'm also working on a sister project called #CosmOS, which tries to replicate this on #NixOS. It's still a work-in-progress, though, but one fine day it'll be on par with the other spins.

CCing other members of the team (those who I do know are on the fediverse) @magitian and @Slipstream8125.


Once again, thank you so much for the (what is in my humble opinion very positive) review, and stay tuned. I hope know your article is going to draw attention to the distro, so we'll have to ramp up the maintenance 💪🏻.


STAY TUNED FOLKS!!

Ziele für heute:
Fertigstellung Lebenslauf (dringend)

Schritt 1: Arbeitsplatz vorbereiten
Mein letzter Lebenslauf war in #LaTeX. Das ist eine gute Gelegenheit für einen Rewrite in #Typst.

Schritt 2: Typst Templates suchen
Die sehen alle ziemlich gut aus. Wollte ich nicht schon lange meinen Compositor etwas aufhübschen? Ich probiere mal #hyprland!

Schritt 3: Hyprland installieren
Und nun noch die vielen Standardanwendungen... #Dunst, #Mako, #swaync? Erstmal die Unterschiede recherchieren

I posted my KDE rice a while ago. I have been eying Hyprland for a while now. It is still a work in progress but over the last couple of months, I have preferred Hyprland over Gnome or KDE. It's so snappy! Here is a peek at my Hyprland setup. ( Mainly just my Pacman-inspired waybar icons. )
