Updated on 8 March 2024 (for Plasma 6) This is another post of the Hyprland series. I am a big fan of KDE applications for many everyday tasks. Since Hyprland is not a full desktop environment, you can choose which applications to install for text editing, images, viewers, file managers, etc. When I started using […]
This is another post on the Hyprland series. In a previous post, I showed how to create a custom button in the Waybar for wlogout: a wlogout is a logout menu for Wayland environments: Remember that in Arch, this is available as an AUR package, e.g., you have to install it through an AUR helper […]
Here’s another post on how to get started with Hyprland. This time, we’ll see how to configure notifications with mako, a lightweight notification daemon for Wayland, which also works with Hyprland. (you might also want to consider and experiment with an alternative: dunst). If you followed my previous tutorials, you have no notification daemon installed. […]
Up to now, I have shown how to get started with Hyprland with the initial configurations. Now, I’ll show how to install the mainstream status bar in Hyprland: Waybar. Again, I’m going to do that for Arch Linux. As in the previous posts, I will NOT focus on the look and feel configuration. Before continuing, […]

This is the second blog post on getting started with Hyprland (see the first post here). In this article, we install and configure a few other tools. We will also look at the customization of keyboard shortcuts. Other tools As noted here https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Must-have/, you need an Authentication Agent: Authentication agents are the things that pop […]
In the past few months, I’ve heard (i.e., read articles and seen videos) many good things about the Wayland compositor Hyprland. I decided to try it, and I’ve been using it for almost one month as my daily driver. I’m still not into “tiling” that much, but in Hyprland, you can also switch to classic […]
I’ve just started experimenting with the Wayland compositor Hyprland and wanted to use my favorite wallpaper manager, Variety. Unfortunately, Variety does not support Hyprland out of the box. However, it’s easy to make it work also on Wayland. I’m going to use Arch Linux in this blog post. First of all, you must install “swaybg”, […]
